Non-Official: What wheels do you hate?

hoanger · 12-16-2007, 11:55 PM

I know.. it's a hater thread, but there are just some wheels out there that I know most of us can't stand. Let's stand together!

#1 on my list and always will be...
KONIG UNKNOWNS

post up yours!

Sexy6Speed · 12-17-2007, 12:00 AM

hahaha, konigs for sure!!

my thing is, is that i hate any wheel that is a replica. fake ass wheels like rotas or otherwise. i understand they are affordable and all and im all for that, but when the owners make them something they are not, thats when it drives me nuts.

and i hate chrome on civics!

aki · 12-17-2007, 12:00 AM

LOL I hate those too. I dunno, there are so many ones in bad taste, hard to isolate just one.

I think Konig Countersteers are close to the top for me. And it's not just because they're knock-offs.

I find the Volk TE37s to be pretty abhorrent in style too (which is asking for some hate here, but ah well). Great rims, but egh unless it's like a 18x10 w/ low offset then it looks really boring to me.

Sexy6Speed · 12-17-2007, 12:02 AM

lol, those look like chubby pudgy mugens!

IWHINE · 12-17-2007, 12:02 AM

konieg unknowns for sure everyomne has em

hoanger · 12-17-2007, 12:40 AM

those konig countersteers are ALRIGHT, but man.. everytime I see a car with unknowns.. I puke inside my mouth lol
IWHINE is right, everyone has em from SUV's to little ricer boys

I've seen tons of 8th gens rolling with them around here.. =S

TE37's are still good in my books, as long as it's done right though. Can't just go and throw some volks on a nasty car and call it a day.
But yes, it does get over played a bit.

Agreed.

Motegi Mr7 OMGGGGG those are so effing ugly

hoanger · 12-17-2007, 12:47 AM

yeah.. not a fan of those motegi's.. traklites are OK though

don't forget the infamous hotswaps! lol

haha I think this is a good thread. A healthy way to get rid of the hate compared to hating on someones car

24boosted · 12-17-2007, 01:18 AM

These 3 spoke POS are the worse!

1chin3s3_b0i · 12-17-2007, 01:41 AM

the konig unknowns and motegi mr7 are tops on my list of the ugliest and most commonly sighted wheels

aki · 12-17-2007, 02:14 AM

3-spoke Advans are too 80s for me, sorry =)

hoanger · 12-17-2007, 09:26 AM

oh man, i still love the advan's.. those are classics!
slap em on an rx7, silvia or a mk2 supra and you've got a bad ass ride

**Yodums** · 12-17-2007, 09:27 AM

Rota Slipstreams. They're just way too outdated. I can see them on a '92 Civic hatchback or something very similar. It's the 21st century now!

finallymanual · 12-17-2007, 09:45 AM

I hate the rota slipstreams. I see them on every freakin car available. it just ruins the original spoon design.

**dentrecords** · 12-17-2007, 09:55 AM

Apparently this thread is official!

Thanks for letting us know!

hoanger · 12-17-2007, 10:59 AM

haha sorry! can you make it say non-official??
sorry!
