If you want to buy forged to bling, then say so, but don't give me that BS about you need it because its soooooooo much better than a cast wheel, when none of you track your car. you're right, i don't track my car, but it's not by choice. i didn't put it on the road this year, but hopefully i can get some seat time next year. so how much money did YOU throw at your GSR and how much seat time did you have with it? |

Be honest now, don't you think that money would have been better spent on other areas of your car that need work? As for seat time, unfortunately, I didn't want to break anything and have to shell out money that I was saving to get married and buy a house...................You know, the things that people do when they grow up and stop wasting money putting mods on a car for modding it sake. I did take the car to the drags once or twice, but it wasn't my thing. The lesson that I learned is, its one thing to mod a car for a purpose, i.e for track, for autox, etc. Its another thing to mod it just to have the lastest bling race parts on a daily driver, its just a waste of money. Thats something that seems to happen a lot on T-I. |

As for dropping large on an Integra, it was a daily driven car in any season except winter, and it was a helluva lot of fun. Do you even have a video of your car at track/autox/drag? I do, so pull your head outta your ass and stop making assumptions about my old Integra. |

All I am saying is that its a waste of money to mod a car just for the sake of modding it. Thats my opinion formed from experience. I bought the M3 because I didn't want to do the modding thing again, and I've only modded in a way to take advantage of those events that I particpate in, or plan on doing. 2. Forget about the M3, part of the way the Integra was modded was to make it a more fun daily driver, but part of it was just throwing away money, and I really don't want other people to make the same mistakes. If you feel the need to rock spoon wheels, or work wheels or whatever else floats your boat, then go right ahead. But don't say the justification for doing that is because Rota wheels, or any other non forged wheel is ----, because it simply isn't true |

This thread may as well be locked, it's turned into " who's got the biggest balls" I've never really been on H-T but sometimes I get the feeling this place can't be much better. If this was'nt true than neither of you would have to prove yourselves. Who gives a ---- what either of you have, or how much money you have there will always be someone out there with better ----. What anyone has on their car is up to them to have regardless of how much it costs or it's autheticity. Just post what kind of wheels you have/want or go start another thread where you can measure each others peckers. Jesus christ.... you guys need some ----- to melo the ---- out. |
DO IT!!!! i want a new car LOL

If you want to spend your money on "engine mods" then thats good for you, but not everyone is trying to build the fastest car on the block. I dont understand all the hating. Its like having a RQLEX and thinking the guy wearing the ROLEX is an idiot for paying soo much. shoot they both tell time dont they? knock offs:yeah: real rims:yeah: using knock offs and hating on real rims(which style your trying to copy):hay:

A car doesnt feel right to me if its got a set of cheapie wheels. If you didnt cheap out on your other parts (ie, motor mods, tires, paint etc..) then why cheap out on the wheels? I have no problem with Rotas myself, I love some of the wheels they got. Polished Slipstreams, Black/Gold GT3s are some that I like. But I dont have the PI hookup to be able to buy them for "everyday" use. |

i'd rock a set of rotas.....i want GT3's. knock off or not they don't try to make it look like a GAB wheel with stickers and a certer cap. you get GAB styling and don't pay the GAB price. i'm not making my car into a track ----- therefore i can't justify spending that kind of money on a track wheel. i like the look so i'll take the rotas.
if you buy a Spoon SW388 knock off that says "Spoom sports" on it, then that's gay. if i can't afford a set of SW388 and want that style of wheel then i'd take a Slipstream.....not this DAI Fever http://www.directautoimport.com/images/TH03454100BK.jpg ^^^note the Spoom Sports. |

damn... y do people gotta insult polish people... thats just not right...:dunno:

Hey Big Hairy Gino! whats your background? Im sure I could spout of some nonsense about it since you feel the right to publicly voice yours about mine. |
Yea that was definitely not cool

so are most of the admins on this site (that jeff dude seems cool) this bitch makes comments about polacks (my g/f is polish) and no admins say ---- (they're bitches too) but if anyone else would make a racist comment, they'd probably be banned, like i'm going to be but :finger: and ya man, most u guys are raggin on ppls car making fun b/c their cars aren't jdm or they are ricey (in your opinion), keep ur negative comments to yourself and stop trying to compensate for your little peckers!!! i'm reading that you guys are married with children and ----, but you act/talk/and probably drive like 13 year old girls, grow up man yyeeessss 69 posts, i have accomplished my goal....plus i sold my integra!!! sucks it boys yyyyyeeeeeeeessssss |
You cant be banned for voicing your opinion. If you (or anyone I mean) follows someone around in the forums and trashes their posts or posts up ---- about them contstantly thats something else but voicing your opinion is allowed. Im always a big advocate about that. Thats why boards such as clubsi are so liked because they dont censor or ban everything that moves. Racist comments are different and Im sure BHG caught some ---- about the Polish comment although it wasnt fully a racial slur or anything. Anyways Im out of this thread unless it gets back to wheel choices lol.
