dude, are you just trying to be an asshole? I don't understand where your flame came from. I wan't trying to insult your car, I think it loks fantastic. Just because I don't like the Gold on Yellow as many other didn't either, doesnt' mean I think your car is poop. I simply gave you my opinion, that wheels in a different color would look better in my OPINION. besides powdercoating your Advans is not some heinous crime or anything, its just one of the easiest and best ways to color aluminum, the other being anodizing.
Not to belittle you or anything, I understand that you are going for the BIG shows, and that your wheels WILL win you points, but you speak of them as if they are 24K gold or somthing, just because they are made in Japan, and ARE very rare here doesn't make them technologically superior to anything else. Maybe you should just enjoy them for what they are, and not flaunt that to every person who doesn't spend that much money on a set of wheels.
Please understand that I'm not trying to be an ass, anyone who has met me can attest to that, I'm also not a noob, or an idiot, this is not my first rodeo, and I appologize if this offends you. it shouldn't, I'm just suggesting that you tone it down to the other people here. Although I do understand and appreciate your enthusiasm for getting these rare and expensive wheels, please stop flaming me for giving you my honest opinion.
