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.

Not everyone can afford $2500 for volks and a 6 month wait

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.

How much camber are we talking about, if you've been on a track then you can tell me the exact degree...

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.

Would you consider that wheel rice? I love old-school designed meshies with a polished lip but I'd rather not pay for old and busted rims. I think these are a good alternative.

i figured a time attack wheel would be one designed for time attack... not a painted ugly P.O.S. that will never see track time...

So why is it any different than buying say a gunmetal wheel with a polished lip? or a bronze wheel with a polished lip? Just because it has a special name associated with it doesn't mean it's any gayer than any other style of wheel. It's all personal preference. Who cares? Hell, you see all kinds of wheels these days, even Takata Green ones.

I don't know the exact degree...I'm not exactly talking about having the tire sitting on the inside only, but negative camber is good to a certain extent. Bad for daily but negative camber is good when utilized right. Just like everything else in a car.

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.

Or the Mugen RnR. The ONLY two wheels where "Time Attack Style" is cool.

BTW: The RNR was before the Volk. ;)

Negative camber on the Civic/Del Sol/Integra chassis shouldn't be more than 0.5-1.0 degrees in the rear ;) It depends on your suspension setup and how much body roll it has.

When did "time attack" come to the US? Volk started their "limited edition time attack" in 2006. Mugen RNR's have been around with that color scheme for YEARS. Hell, even the Rota Group N's have had that color scheme for at least 4 years :tongue:

ohhhh, lol...lexdisic much?

time attack has been a thing to do for a LONG time. i'm sure it was very popular when the RNR's came out... i had seen them before on the road. and volk blah blah blah... the time attack is all rice to be now... i don't even like the VOLK editions now... :cry: :no: don't you dare go there with that pile of rice i see coming out of your mouth and onto that keyboard lol

and i'm slexdiscette :thinking:

For certain cars it can look good. I know a guy with wheels like those on an old passat wagon. There are exceptions to every rule.

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.

so if they get creative its rice,
and if they copy each other its rice..

:thinking: lose/lose situation..

i guess this is why i like to do very minimal mods to a car..

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.

I got a suggestion, put whatever the hell wheels you want on your car and who gives a flying rats ass what Kyle thinks. Works for me. :)
