I just figured that with the whole F&F thing and high-end, brand name body kit you would be concerned with the overall image of the exterior of the car. Direct knockoffs of higher-end wheels that WOULD have worked well with the body kit certainly wouldn’t be helping your cause if that was the case. Clearly that isn’t your direction with the car. That being said, what IS your direction with the car? It’s clearly a show car, you’d think that legitimate wheels would be higher up on your priority list, no? > > And I don’t hate my life at all, I like how you have to drop down to that level rather than address my clearly supportable point in a regular manner. For being 18 and only working 3 months out of the year due to school I think a mint 88 MR2 Supercharged with a few choice mods is a decent car. > > My sole goal with my car for 2010 is to get it looking nice on my BBSs and it will do just that perfectly. I am not looking for performance out of my suspension setup at this point, I’ve had my fun with autoX and have decided to steer away from that for at least this season. Since you’re such an advocate of expensive suspension components, how many track days are you going to attend with them on your car? Do you have any specific goals for this car or are you just mixing and matching expensive body kits, cheap wheels and expensive suspension components for no reason? From what I can see you have a car that was in FnF Tokyo Drift yet doesn’t drift, have a show-car body kit yet advocate track-car suspension, and plan on putting knockoff wheels on your car that has a mint body, “Ferrari” paint and a ballin body kit. Sounds like a mix and match shitshow to me. > > I’m looking forward to a response that doesn’t contain half-assed and overall false insults about me or my car, that’s what my build thread is for, feel free to “call me out” over there. Hahaha oh boy someone got their panties in a bunch. Well, to start off, I purchased this car with the exterior the way it sits because I couldn’t pass up the price. This car sold to the previous owner for 18k, I got it 2/9ths of the cost. I needed a shell to drop a drivetrain into, and I don’t think I would have come across a better one any time within the few week time frame that I had. I suppose that I could have purchased a stock shell for a similar amount of money (if there was another one in the area for a similar price, which there hasn’t been for some months to my knowledge) but then again I find this car to be a much more promising platform to start with than another stock wrx. Been there, done that, I’m looking for something different. Like it or hate it, you can’t say it isn’t different. Maybe you can understand the fact that I am a 19 year old premed student from a middle class family, and therefore I do not have four thousand dollars to spend on wheels. Like you, I am a fulltime student. Unlike you, I work two jobs, go to school and volunteer at a hospital simultaneously. I also am not so ignorant and conceited to believe that a brand name and possibly a pound per wheel reduction is worth two thousand dollars. I bet the person who had the Chargespeed body kit installed was, but I clearly am not. I simply took advantage of an opportunity, guilty as charged. I like my wheels, they run 275’s without a problem, fill my wheel wells without spacers, and aren’t much heavier than your average brand name for a quarter the price. Let it be noted that I never claimed my Subaru drifted. It’s all wheel drive, that doesn’t exactly make for a great drift car. I guess that noting it’s presence in a movie for advertising purposes is simply a ridiculous idea. I apologize if this offended you, you obviously have nothing better to do. What is my direction with this car? It is my daily driver. Case and point. If you have a problem with that, that’s fine. You drive your MR2, I’ll drive my Subaru. If you come to insult my car on my thread, then I believe you should be able to take some yourself. If you have a problem with that, don’t bother looking at my thread. As a matter of fact, I never bothered to look at yours because I didn’t feel it was necessary. Good luck with your BBS, they come stock on STi’s. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/jons-2004-subaru-wrx-chargespeed-super-gt-widebody/251058)._
