What's the fascination with these hideous wheels?

FYI: Time attack = black wheels with a red lip

Cheap wheels + paint does NOT equal nice wheels.

They aren't edgy or original, it's just ugly. It's not unique to color match your wheels to your car. Save your money and buy some real wheels.

BTW: Also rice is cheap black mesh wheels with a polished lip.

BTW BTW: I know their is a wheel/tire etc. section but I didn't want to put this there.

Black wheel with red lip.

I agree completely. The only time it's acceptable is when it comes from Volk that way. Stop trying to pass off your cheap stock wheels as anything different.

11-06-2007, 01:25 PM

agreed. Unless there authentic Volks and what not dont bother. Unless you have forged rims...then nm. But if you stockk alloys please dont bother.

So everyone should shave their lenses, do motor work, and lower the car but keep stock wheels.

Now that is creative.

I never said that. I dont get it.

My car does not have negative camber its the angle of the picture. I havent dropped it, but the kids who cut their springs, or lower their car and are too cheap to fix their camber issues are rice.

lamborghinis arent rice but there is definitely a trend of lamborghinis being owned by people who put big chrome rims on them... while serious performance car enthusiasts stick to ferrari (probably has to do with rwd>awd). also notice how ferrari factory color options are just regular red/yellow/black/blue while lambo color options are flashy orange, lime-green, fluorescent yellow, etc lol... the diablo was the last good lambo imo.

You would be wrong. Mk4's don't need camber correction when you drop them. My friend has coils and no rear perches, he's tucking and his camber is perfect.

BTW I think this looks DAMN good. I do however agree about negative camber when it's appearance starts to get noticable when NOT looking for it. (I.E. if you are looking for negative camber on a car, ts ok, but if you are looking at a car and massive negative camber catches your eye on its own, it's a bit excessive)

I think what kyle means, is kind of what how i feel. People have a hard time nowadays doing what they want to there cars. They are too worried about what others are gonna say, or getting flamed on their forums. years ago, people were into crazykits, crazy paint, bodykits blah blah. And doing their own thing with their own car. Its just real hard to find originality in certain cars..especially the popular imports evo-350-civic-integra-240-wrx.. alot of folks that get those type of cars seem to be scared to do what they want to with it.. so they all copy each other.. imean with all the parts available do you have to go buy the same exterior parts? it ma looks good, but get your own style. And if you dont have money to buy wheels, and you paint your stockers.. dont BS just be honest.. i cant afford wheels! its crazy how rattle canning painting ur wheels is the thing to do nowadays.. but 2 years ago everyone called it rice.

Mugen RNR's were available black with a red pinstripe YEARS ago.

Modifying something is hardly rice. It's no differant than an emo chick with pink hair...she does it to be differant yet makes herself look just like every other chick with pink hair.

If the wheels are refinished in a poor manner then it could be "rice". Who cares if it's a stock wheel or not. One of the best looking M Coupes i've ever see was silver and debadged with black powdercoated oem wheels.

I'm not talking about a small degree of negative camber, I'm talking about when about half of the tire is making contact with the road.

I don't really have a problem so much with color matched lips (although I'd take solid black over a lip anyday), I just generally don't like wheels that involve red on a car that doesn't. Same thing goes for all of the hondas with red wheels and polished lips. I just think it looks hideous.

IMO, time attack is direct copy of the Biker wheels. So if you start calling imitation rice, then those TA Volks should be considered rice as well.

What I like are wheels that look good in Time Attack style (black wheels with "colored" lip).

There are some wheels that can pull it off very nice, some just look plain stupid. It's just depend on the wheel's style.

This includes ALL WHEELS in the market, not the expensive Rays Engineering wheels, Iforged, HRE, etc. nor Rota, Konig, etc.

There are hundreds of wheels I'd rather see on that mini, I just like everything else about that mini so much its hard for me to call it rice. As for the wheels there are very few time attack wheels I can stand, and even those I wouldnt put on my car in 1000 years.

Save your money and buy some real wheels.

BTW: Also rice is cheap black mesh wheels with a polished lip.

Def save your money, theres nothing like owning/riding on real wheels. As for the mesh deal, unless there the jdm racing sparco meshies, even if they are a dime a dozen in japan, and very cheap, they are none the less real and always fresh because of just that.

As for personal opinion, personal opinion causes rice. People are entitled to their own opinions, but this trend is lame. Not necessarily riced, but its played and not creative.

think bout it, what is true creativity when it comes to mods and cars. theres dozens of part manufacturers out there and people with creative minds who have been doing this for years and years. so Whether its ur cars color, its wheel color, or whether you like show or go, or want a lil both. its all matter of personal opinion and what you think looks good. if you think somebodies **** is ugly as sin, then just smile, walk away and be glad you dont drive it.

But that doesn't represent the meaning of "rice", why because it is fast. My point is the how people use the term rice isn't the true meaning of "rice". They use the term as tasteless exterior mods, when it doesn't mean that.

imo, rice is tasteless mods.. fast or slow, a car that is rice is rice.. i dont wait to see the car run 1/4 mile to say its rice or not, i just look at it in pictures or i see it in a parking lot..

No I am saying your attitude is indicative of you having a problem. I have no intentions of talking about wheels.

It's not about money, its about people mindlessly modding their car.

I got those wheels a few years ago. The car they were on has been gone since early this year and I had them on there almost the entire time I owned it. They were professionally painted, by well known shop. I searched high and low for wheels that came with a red lip but could not find a single set that was a 17" 4x100. No one made them then but now is a different story. (I did find one or two pairs in 18" or in the wrong bolt pattern but they were not cheap and very few and far between).

I totally agree that painting your stock wheels to copy aftermarket wheels is pretty stupid... especially some half assed spray paint job. I wouldn't put anything on my car that didn't look professional. If you want new wheels, save some money and get some.

Also, I believe in looking at more than just the wheels, look at the whole car. Time attack wheels look like crap on some cars because the style doesn't fit or the color looks awful with red. Like the blue a few posts up.... EW... nice car, nice wheels, but the two do not look right together. You don't have to get something trendy just to be trendy... get what fits your car.

My time attack wheels have been retired. I like to have things that are a little different and it was time for a change. I got tons of compliments on them though. We may see them a lot more often in the car community, but most people on the street rarely see wheels like that.

If you want new wheels, save some money and get some."Time attack" editions of Volk and Work wheels didn't come out until 2007 (pre-sale in 2006). The Mugen RNR had them years before when the "time attack" wasn't even known outside of the event in Japan. I'm positive

As for people doing it themselves, the red could be easily done with automotive pinstriping yet nobody ever thinks about doing it that way ;)

The only ones I found when before I gave in and just had mine painted were the Ralliart R-01 Evolution's. But... $600 each and only in 5x114.3. Not easy to find at the time either. (This was all in 2005)

I have a pic I personally took at SEMA 2005 of time attack style wheels. I loved them and decided that was what I wanted on my car.... and I had them ordered, painted and on the car just a short time after that.

Their are a lot of dubbers who call anything non euro rice, but I can respect a clean car regardless of who makes it. But the thing is peoples lack of style is rice. Their are plenty of people who build budget cars that look great. It's not a matter of money.
