which rims?

[protegeV]

bleh, boo to all knockoff's.

if you can get me some FN01R-Cs or any other REAL rim you carry for under $800shipped with tires, then I might say boo to knockoff's

until then, boo to not having more than $800 to spend on rims

 

[BlueWolfCry]

what company makes these (the original one)?

 

[protegeV]

eh..i say save to get the real s***.

not worth it for me...I have the money to buy 18" Volks with Eagle F1s if I wanted, but i cant justify spending that much on something that is meant for nothing else but to look good, and will prolly not last a year without becoming damaged somehow...

big money will go INSIDE the car(stereo )

SSR I believe...

batmang has the exel f-1's in gunmetal and it looks pretty sweet. i'm not big on knock-off's either, but who cares. it's your car.

ADVAN makes the orignal of those. They're cast and rediculously expensive too, so its pointless to get the real ones.

i thought he had real 5zigens?
if not, i guess that proves my point, that unless the real deal is forged and makes some kind of performance difference, it really doesnt matter from an aesthetic point of view...

I guess from now on I'll just post the real thing, so i can get opinons on the wheel designs rather than the wheels manfacturers

 

[MP3skaterNC]

sorry that people would raither chose quality japanese made wheels over some chinese or taiwon made knockoff.

 

[protegeV]

well, I guess I shouldnt have a bought a protege5 since its just a cheaper piece of crap version of a real car like a BMW, right...I mean if I wanted a good handling hatchback I shoulda bought an M-coupe...damn Im a cheap bastard

 

[MP3skaterNC]

i give up, buy knockoffs because quality and wheel strenght arent an issue if your car isn't going to ever see a track.

 

[protegeV]

a track? (rlaugh) the closest thing my car sees to a track is the local street racing drag strips(not that I street race, cuz my car is slow, but I do drive places where other people drag race later at night on weekends (lol2))

what we have here is a simple misenderstanding...my car=all show, no go...
Down the road I may opt for the real deal for show points, but Im not that into it yet that I need to be worrying about it...

I think a new thread is in order for wheel design opinions only, cuz this thread just got thoroughly shat upon...

 

[CitizenPro]

ok, screw the poll, since I cant add these in, but feel free to chime in on these new selections...

Ahhh....much better. I wasnt really into the wheel that I posted up for u, its just that it looked like the same style as the others. BUT!! this new selection is better......I like the 1st and 3rd wheels, both are very nice and would go great with your yellow P5 (thumb) Ive seen the 3rd wheel up close (in hyperblack) on my friends white P5 and they look awesome.

These are the ones im getting next:

Hey! Wait a minute! (bike)

lol, J/k. Different strokes for different folks, or some s***.

IMO, Get some SubZeros. They look great and they're light and strong.

EDIT: Here's a pic of my P5 on Rotas.

 

[protegeV]

nah, I dont like subzeros much...

I was looking at the RS-GTs also

Ive got my eye on some volks on ebay actually...If the price doesnt get to high I might own em

sorry bro.....there mine (enguard)

 

[protegeV]

RyanJayG has em already ya know

I let him get em.....he owes me now (laugh)

 

[protegeV]

(lol)
haha...well I was thinking about goin a step up to maybe some real 5zigens of racing harts, not quite volk level, but it looks like Im gonna be getting some racing seats too, so i gotta conserve (shrug) we'll see....

 

[BlueWolfCry]

good plan. I wanted wheels badly too...but after debating, I decided that my car just wasn't fit for some nice rims yet (no speed). So I just got tires. Hopefully though, I can get some nice ass rims next summer.

(lol)

[protegeV]

someone sees my point...at this point its quantity over quality, but with LIMITS. Im not gonna buy American racing rims and APC seats
but on the other hand I cant exactly afford volks and brides (lol2)
