    Just kidding... hotness. We can be friends. :P

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

    Is it going to be rice (or Kraut in this case) if I were to powdercoat and polish my BBS RC's?

    Yes because everyone knows that the "RC" stand for Rattle Can.

    Do you have a BMW?

    I'm not getting wheels for my car because, well....I really can't. My lug pattern hasn't been around for over 20 years. Wheels are very hard to come by and that makes them really expensive when they do. I also want more of an stock look so I have a plan with mine that I shall not divulge just yet. Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    I have two BMW's. I am currently combining parts from a total (so far) of NINE different models (not just years but models) of BMW's to make one car operational, lol. These staggered wheels are from a Euro 850ci... BMW BBS RC's wheel pRon

    Nice try, but way wrong.

    I've got a set of very rare (maybe three sets in this country) Black Racing BR-R 15'' +30 offset wheels on my daily driver Civic wagon:

    http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Wagovan067.jpg

    Do me a favor and even find another pic of these wheels. Black Racing BR-R 3 piece, circa 1988-1992. Good luck.

    I also have authentic, and now very rare no longer-being-made Spoon SW388 wheels in 15'' +45 offset - they stopped making this size last year or so:

    http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...202/Spoon1.jpg

    http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...s%202/tom2.jpg

    http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...5-EH2/tom1.jpg



    They went for $385.00/wheel when brand new (and they're 15'' - forged 8.5lbs), but since they're no longer making them I wonder what they're worth now?

    I figured someone would call me out, so I was already prepaired for it. I have wheels that a lot of Honda guys lust after, but I don't let that stuff go to my head, nor do I care if people buy knock-offs, or paint their stock wheels/steeelies whatever.

    Like I said who gives a shiet?

    Nice try trying to say I've got stock painted wheels though. Even if I did I wouldn't care if you approved...

    I guess it's all in how you pull it off...and why you're doing it....

    As an example..when one paints their LS wheels to try to imitate a time attack style wheel, you're just biting for the sake of having the look w/out paying for it...

    JennB painted her wheels black with the red stripe BEFORE the VOLK Time Attack came out...there were other companies doing it before Volk was anyways. They just have the $$$ to market them then "Time Attack" series became more popular in the US publicizing it even more.

    It's when it get overused and everybody does it that makes it old...so on to the next trend. It's a ****ing round piece of metal, there's only so much in the past few hundred years that you can do with it! Maybe i should spray a set of wheels with the krylon textured stone look and take it back a few thousand years, lol.
