So what wheels/look do you like? And BTW, isn't the very reason we get rims for the look, or do we all just get Volks and be happy???

To each his own. If he likes it and is happy that's all that matters. You actually think getting respect on the internet matters? do you judge your life by the wheels on a civic?

like i said. to each man his own. u like them, u like them. done. i'm just breaking it down, you PAY for quality. Go ahead, go rocking cheap ass rims. this aint about what ppl think on the internet, its about how you wanna represent your car. if you didn't really care about improving your car, you should be keeping it stock. i'm not hating, this is just the truth. invest in quality products, dont settle. just trying to help.

well most of the better rims will cost more but there are alot of cheap/reasonably priced rims that still look n r very nice, no one knows the brand of rim you drive by on, just whether it looks good or not, so 500 dollar rims that look good on ur car would be alot better than 5000 dollar rims that dont look as good, ppl have no clue how much ur rims cost...

Its very rare to find a good looking wheel that is also cheap, in fact all i can think of are enkei rpf1s, ssr competitions, and wedsport sa70's. One the other hand there are a wide variety of ugly expensive wheels.

Regardless of all that, TSW's are still ugly and poorly made wheels. I think that trixnrice was just trying to convey the fact that tsw's are of a lesser quality than the wheels that came on the car, and they don't look any better, so why change them in the first place. Of course how good the wheels look is all subjective.

And this whole thing about people respecting people is crap. Mod your car for yourself, not because you think it'll make you cool

Yes, it will continue to be this way as the average age of ownership is pretty young. If you look at the majority of posts on here, you need a translator to figure out what they are trying to say. Closed minded people want all vehicles to have the same look. Break out and go with the spinners!! Be different and enjoy it

Rule of thumb: The more expensive vehicles get, less kids are owning and talking about them.

lol. alright. first of all. dont mean to offend nebody. i keep saying, to each person their own. do what you like. i'm just breaking it down.

to str8 civic. you gotta be kidding me,i dunno how much you know bout cars and wheels, but i've been into cars through high school and through college, this fg2 is my third car. i've learned that ppl who really know cars, really know rims. "its the avg. joe who says, hey look, nice rims on your car, you got them at discount tire, (dont know ne better), thats cool" Rims are just like any other car parts, you pay for what you get. i'm not trying to step on any toes, i'm just trying to let you guys know whats up. 'm done w/ this thread after this post. good luck guys and lETS ALL GET ALONG!
