    Well this is a thread that's going to go back and forth. But I guess I'll put in my 2 cents in.

    It's easy for someone with money to say, "Save your money and you can get anything you want." Not many people can't save money just because of the situation they may be in (especially the way the economy is crashing.) I personally thinks it's cool when someone paint their rims a different color. It's a creative way of not looking like everyone else.

    It's like me saying "I hate status cars (Lexus, Mercedes Benz, BMW, etc) because I think it's a waste of money. If you conserve your money and put it into a cheaper car, you can make it as fast and as reliable as any of them." But I don't, cause every class of people has different thoughts, ways of doing things, and I respect that by not blowing up on a forum saying your ways are wrong, try it my way.

    I could be rambling but oh well. That's it for me. Later.

    If people can achieve the look that THEY want by simply painting their wheels, then more power to them. I agree that it's kinda dumb, but in certain situations I don't mind it.

    Stunt... let me know if you end up needing any ECU work when you come to swap time... I have a guy who does brilliant work.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    i think that painting rims doesnt make you have JDM wheel at all...who would think that in the first place...like everyone else had said some oem rims just look better in different color or at least in their eyes...

    Rattle Can is cheap...

    Aftermarket wheels are exponentially more expensive...

    why do you even give a **** about what other people do to their car. Stick to worrying about your own POS

    I've already stated my position on this subject and quite frankly this issue has been beaten to death...

    BUT just for you Wurm, let me put this in a way that even you can understand...


    Say for instance you love snowboarding.....
    You want to go but you cant afford to the proper equipment.i.e boards, bindings, etc...

    So because your want to snowboard outweights your desire to do shiit the right way and save up the money to get the proper equipment, you rig up a contraption with a 2x4 and some work boots.......and so your need to snowboard is satisfied w/out you actually having spent the money to do it the right way.....

    Moral of the story: You have to pay to play...If you want to modify your car, then take your time, save your money, and then get what you want as far as mods are concerned....
    Not everyone has the money to blow on wheels right away but plenty of ppl save every dime they have to spare to reach their goals....What it all boils down to is having the discipline to work your ass off for what it is you want...
    That's with anything in life....

    I only read the first page of the thread but anyways painting rims and putting bodykits on without painting them is different from risking your life on 2x4's and work boots

    Or it's kinda like wanting a sport bike and all you have is a Katana. So you paint it to look like something else...but it's still clearly not.

    LOL..

    Here's the thing...I'm not saying that I don't understand that not everyone has the means to get what they want when they want it.....

    What I am saying is that anything worth having is working for. There's no excuse for cheaping out with anything you do in life...if you want it bad enough, save your money, even if it takes you a year or however long...I know I would get more satisfaction from having worked my ass off to achieve a goal than to have taken the easy way out and done things half assed...

    This is a big part of what's wrong with the current generation.

    Only those with POS cars are the ones getting offended at being called cheap. It's no different the "rocking" a black hood (glass or primer) on a car that's not black. Defending painted stock wheels is equivalent to pulling hub caps off steel wheels and calling it a "mod".
