LOL!!!!!!

The thread title is "what do ya'll think." We are merely stating what we think. The majority here seem to dislike it. If it really matters what we think then put them on eBay if you can't get your money back.

NO for reals i appreciate it. I get a kick out of reading all these strong emotions about another man's car and choice of rims. I'm not mad, cuz like the high-speed individual up here said..I asked you guys what you thought.

You gotta make a decision, do you want to be comfy or look good. The idea to buy smaller rims to save some comfort but still look good is a sure fire way to get the worst of both worlds. You'll have decreased ride comfort with after market rims, AND you'll get ridiculed for not buying bigger ones.

Congratulations on your purchase, lose lose big guy.

For the record I would say this about any 17inch rims you got but those are not good.

as for this one. I had no choice. i NEEDED new rims. I dented the front drivers side wheel on the inside and the rear drivers side wheel on the outside. So uh. GO ahead and have fun with that one. I did.

I see what most of you say about wanting other people to like your ride, but for me that only goes to a certain degree. I dont go with the flow. Im not the freakin new york type of guy that buys what everybody else is buyin. Who lives the better life? The one checking the Magz and Tv every week, stressin to see if they own whats cool for the week, or the one that doesnt need to waste his time because he knows he doesnt need ALL the EXTRA dressing. I guess it goes back to the "to each his own" thing. I aint mad at ya'll. Just do your thing and be happy.

whatever guys. I guess i'll see what they freakin look like in about a week or so. Maybe you guys are right. But fluck it. i'll live with it. I'm not gonna pull my hair out, stressin over what joe thinks in ontario/maryland/indiana.

Once again. THANKS

At least you dont throw a sh!t fit like some members the second we state we dont like you choice of wheel. I guess +1 for modding, +1 for being a good sport and -1 for rim choice

What is that supposed to mean?? Im from New York but I buy what I buy becuase I like it, not because its whats in this week!

GrandAmGT1996 · 03-19-2007, 05:35 PM

Yeah, you should definitly at least lower it. I never want to hear **** about anybody complaining about lowering your car because of weather either...because I lowered my celica FOUR inches and drove in snow this past friday night and when I got onto my street, I was literally plowing snow with my front bumper because my road didnt get plowed yet. So no more excuses, lower it!

no disrespect to you New Yorkers...it was just that reference about me walking to a bar in manhattan wearing overalls. My bad. I didnt come on here talkin down on anyone. SO dont take it that way unless i call out somebody specifically. Cool or what!?!?!?

ryanbgb22 · 03-19-2007, 05:43 PM

well if your talking about springs that companies like to give free with rim purchases i wouldnt use them. I know someone that ordered from wheels next and said he was getting the free springs but they never arrived anyway.

Spring/Strut database

eric99gt · 03-19-2007, 07:16 PM

Don't really have an opinion on the rims since I usually can't visualize without actually seeing them on the car. With that said, props for takin all the gagt abuse. Most members would have gotten themselves banned by now. Glad to have ya here.

I can understand modifying a car for other people to like... but sure as hell not BUYING a car solely for other people to like...

If people bought a car for OTHER people to like who the **** would drive a grand am, neon or other pieces of **** cars posted in this thread.

I think when modding cars like GAs and Neons you gotta make sure it looks better than stock. Too many people do things that make people go, "Why would you do that to a (insert common car name here)?"

But then again some people probably say that no matter how good the car may look..

timberwoof · 03-19-2007, 08:15 PM

Yep, your car could get show car of the year, and there are going to be tons of people out there who have something negative to say about it. So I say, F it, We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you, so get use to it.

i certainly dont care if anyone likes my car... everything i've done to the car some people hate and some people like, but i have it in my own head that driving a semi aggressive looking 4 door 400whp car is fun... i am extremely happy with my car every time the turbo spools and hits and i get tossed in the seat - that feeling right there makes it all worth while... i could care less how my car looked its a ****ing pleasure to drive
