    still dumb

    do yourself a favor
    check out JGCT cars, and other road race cars

    ACTUALLY road race cars have no stretch to the tires. having stretch=having no grip. the tire has to be able to flex to grip. thats the whole concept behind a tire.

    this argument is another dumb subjective argument. there is plenty of good reasons to buy rotas instead of spoons. and do you know how many race wheels get bent on apex curbs? do you know how many affordable race wheels there actually is? why drop a bunch of cash on some bling bling heavy ass jdm crap wheels, if you can buy something non-bling and lightweight like team dynamics? because in your opinion, the bling jdm wheels are better. money is money. if you have the money to drop a ****load on rims, by all means go ahead. ill stick with the budget wheels even if i have the money for something better.
