I dont quite get or agree with your first comparison… She drives a car and likes nice cars so she has an opinion that can relate… 90% of people on the streets driving right now are not hardcore car enthusiests such as yourself or i…im not sure if id even call myself extreme? Anyway, 90% of people think that $400 black with chrome lip reps look alot more baller/expensive/hot rather then legit machined silver legit bbs… Im not sticking up for them or anything, im just trying to make a point, I am like those people, I dont need to it to be brand named as long as i think it looks nice… Shit \*\*\*\*\*, i shop at pcx for my jeans! No named, but i like the designs!

Legit wheels are retarrrrrrded. Yeah there are some sick legit wheels out there and that’s cool and all… but I can buy cheap wheels and it will look just as good. For fucks sake a 15x8 +10 is a 15x8 +10. I don’t care if it was 2k or 500, the fitment is the same and that is one of the most important parts. As long as your spokes aren’t sticking out passed your lip there’s a good chance your car DOESN’T look like shit. I’ve got a 400 dollar set of wheels I got from singh with a shitty paint job, guess what? If I put 10mm spacers on them they’d look god damned fantastic.

Wheel snobs are retarded.

I’m not saying go buy ballin Works for 3k, shit even some Rotas would be dope compared to what he usually rocks lol. That E46 would like a MILLION times better on some 18x10" Rota Grids. I actually don’t mind the wheels on the eclipse currently, but it could be so much better with a wider wheel with a lower offset.

OEM BMW wheels are not cheap ass junk wheels. They aren’t fake splits. They are not reps of reps of reps. They aren’t rebadged Chinese garbage. You are defending a point of view that you do not practice.

I love stupid people that have to call names to get a point across. I used to think you were OK…then you stoop to a tenth grade level.

My mistake, had you confused with someone else. Either way, I have a 400 dollar set of wheels. I’d put fake splits on and not care. I’d rock reps of reps of reps and I’d never feel bad about it. I wouldn’t feel bad if you had a problem with it either. You waste 3k on your wheels and I’ll spend 500 on some reps that weigh 11 or 12 lbs instead of 8 or 9, and invest that other 2500 in my turbo set up. If you think it looks cheap, that’s great. They were cheap.

Ok. I can agree to disagree. NBD.

As a side note…you can pickup non-rep, real splits, REAL manufacturer…in the $400 range with persistence.

EASILY. I do it aaaaaaalllllll day.
