THE DUMBEST NEW TREND.

[Doppelgänger]

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....

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.

This is assuming that everyone with painted OE wheels wants fully forged racing wheels or any certain style "authentic" wheel, which believe it or not is not always the case.

I've got an example.

I had a daily driver EF hatch that had some 13'' steelies on them with crap tires. I wanted something a little nicer, so I found some badly painted OE Civic HX alloys with the intention of stripping them and repainting them myself.

I did just that and tried a nice Battleship Grey, then matte black.

In my case I had no desire for anything more than some light weight, cheap OE wheels. The paint that came on them was horrible, so I stripped and redid them. I wasn't trying to emulate any particular wheels, and I didn't think they were hot ****, or JDM, etc.

I'm just saying that some people want to change the look of their cars without spending any real money.

I guess the difference is that I have empathy for people who do budget-minded "mods." I'm not saying I'd do them myself or agree with them, but I understand where they're coming from.

Not trying to start something, but why do you care what others do to their cars? I mean why do all those ricers on buford highway put all those accessories on their cars? i dont like it but i'm not going to go out of my way to call them out.

So you just described the hundreds of thousands of sets of Rota's that are on the streets of America.
