think black rims look ok on it? :dunno:

 

BAH BAH sheep......

guess we "talked you out of white rims"

 

You go to work, and come home and this is what you miss....damn, I wish I could have gotten in on this one from the beginning.

 

Like i said, im takin suggestions, but id like some white or colored rims, not really wantin chrome is all

 

this is still going? this thread is tired.

 

In all fairness to Kabooki...
There's really 2 camps for the import scene. The first is exibited on this board, mostly function over form, with emphasis on clean looks and practical mods.
The 2nd camp is the F&F influenced, "ricer" crowd, who mod their cars for looks and little to no go.

So while I definitely hate graphics, big wings, etc, there's a market for them, and most people who aren't into cars that comment on them, tend to like the blinging sh!t more. Take my ex for example, who couldn't tell at all that I had lowered the car 2.5" and painted my sideskirts. The only thing she noticed was tint. So outside of the 1st group of practical tuners who prefer clean looks and function, is mostly "wow that looks fast, what a great car" mentality.

Ok that was a bad example, but you have to be fair to people with different tastes in "mods."

To answer the rim question, I'd say get a set of clean 15" rims. Since you're new to the black rims crowd, maybe a nice set of silver rims? Get something you like, not what others like. I'd say 15's though, as they're much more practical for our econoboxes.

Ok I'm done. Later on.

 

A comment to that:

The people that think the "flashy, bling-bling" sh!t is cool, don't know crap about cars. It's a fact. I'd rather some moron looks at my car and says "what's done to it?"

That's why I love JDM stuff so much, the average ricer doesn't even see it... has no clue that it's even a mod.

Just like the idiots that put Type-R on their cars.... the only people that know what a Type-R is are those that know that his isn't.

See where I'm going??

If you're trying to get the attention of people that don't know the first thing about cars and what it takes to mod them, then you're headed in the right direction.

I personally... will go the other way.

 

oh god, I no longer respect anything you say, or ever will say...

 

I like the color of the graphics on your bro's car...

I want my entire car that color... (I think Crucial Si-T has a hatch that color (or close))

 

Well, also to be fair, we have to judge him amongst his peers. He IS from texas. A place where cowboy hats, and pointy boots is considered high fashion.

Don't blame the kid, blame the enviornment?

yeah, dude, go with some alloy rims, white is too... flashy, and black... makes your wheel-wells look like black holes. You obviously want the aesthetics of the car to be pleasing, get some alloy, you'll be happy. And you can paint your calipers/drums, and you'll be stoked.

Hey, at least he doesn't have a neon or a cavalier...
