THE DUMBEST NEW TREND.

[BobbyFresco]

I'VE NOTICED A TREND LATELY THAT IS BECOMING VERY IRRITATING... PAINTING OEM WHEELS......

WTF GIVES?
THE NEW RICER TACTIC?
IS IT BEC OF LACK OF MONEY OR IS IT FOR THE ASTHETIC VALUE W/OUT ACTUALLY WORKING FOR IT? AND WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THE UGLY COLORS BEING USED?
TRYING TO BE ORIGINAL? PAINTED OEM WHEELS DOES NOT EQUAL JDM OR JSPEC OR WHATEVER THE NEW TERM BEING THROWN AROUND THESE DAYS IS.....

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY SOME RARE WHEELS IF YOU'RE REALLY OUT TO IMPRESS, IS MY OPINION BUT I DIGRESS....


WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS? AGREE OR DISAGREE...DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION? LETS TRY TO KEEP THIS AS CIVIL AS POSSIBLE...

[DC2NR]

I don't think there is a problem with that. Some wheels look better in a certain color. Although there are some that don't. But I see where you're coming from. Some people just claim it as JDM but they do not know the true meaning of JDM.

[ATK_Designs]

my oems are stripped, and noone can match that color, so I'm painting it. Have a problem with that?

[BobbyFresco]

LOL @ PPL GETTING OFFENDED...




EDIT: WHAT HAPPENED TO PPL SAVING THEIR MONEY AND BUYING AFTERMARKET WHEELS TO ACHIEVE THAT MODIFIED LOOK?

I GUESS IT'S NOT COOL TO WORK YOUR ASS OFF FOR WHAT YOU WANT ANYMORE.
LET'S TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT AND PAINT SHIIT, NO MATTER HOW UGLY OR CHEAP IT LOOKS....

[Kevykev]

Hardly a NEW trend.

[BobbyFresco]

Hardly a NEW trend.

You're absolutely correct...it isn't a new trend per se but it is one of
those that is becoming more prevalent.....

[Sammich]

Hardly a NEW trend.

took the letters out of my mouth

[95alty]

some wheels look better in other colors personally... Like the ones in my sig... im painting those... but JDM is not in my vocabulary seeing as though its european... but ya... my OEMs cost more than some of those rims people buy... so ya... to each his own

[TicketRedBB6]

I disagree with the OP. Yes, it's stupid when people paint OEMs and claim it's JDM, but not everyone does. I plan on getting my OEMs painted but that's just because I think it'll look better than plain silver. I don't have money for new rims or tires and can get them painted for very cheap. If people paint their OEMs just because that's what they choose over expensive JDM rims, that's okay to me. But painting OEMs just because you desperatley want JDM rims but can't afford them, so you paint your OEMs to look like a JDM rim...that I don't like.

[quickdodge®]

I honestly don't think you're rims will look good painted to match your car. Later, QD.

[AnthonyF]

depending on the OEM wheels. I like the EVO's with the stock rims painted....well...other than that car I cant think of any other car with stock rims that are painted.

[khaxnguyen]

hrm u had a bad morning. =| no Pu$$y tonight? i'm kidding*. i like polishED oem wheels. so i rock them. how about u? not everyone has the money to buy aftermarket wheels THEN put some tires on them. cheap aftermarket wheels will probably make your car looks WORSE. and if u get some expensive ass wheels, you gotta make it look right on ur car too.. =|--IMO

I think depending on the wheel, the polished look is ok....

I see mostly Honda's with OEM painted wheels.....In the same colors as the Rotas and such....I think I would almost prefer to see someone rocking Rotas than OEM painted wheels honestly....

[khaxnguyen]

welll opinions, opinions... i love polished lol. some actually do make it work with the paint. =D well money isnt the easiest thing to come across.

[BobbyFresco]

well money isnt the easiest thing to come across.

Anything worth having is worth working for IMO....
I understand that people don't have cash to buy shiit straight up sometimes but if you're patient and you stack your money up, you can afford anything you want, if you want it bad enough.

The same thing bothers me when I see people slapping unpainted bodykits on their cars......

I have wheels on my car that cost more than some people's cars on this site. Great...I have a little money and I like my TE-37s. Big deal. Some people are broke as hell but still love their cars and want to do something THEY like and make them different from everybody else. Others go thousands into debt so a guy online will think their car is hot. I don't like rice any more than the next guy but some "ricey" guy's cars are their life. Some wheels look very tastful painted.

The moral of the story is: Not every one can afford expensive things for their car.

I understand what you're saying but some of those same ppl you're defending are the ones that paint their wheels half assed, take pics, and can't wait to post them online, to impress people on a forum......

[soul]

this was a dumb thread, thank you

[BobbyFresco]

this was a dumb thread, thank you

and an equally stupid response.....

dumbass now go back to your room and dont come out till i tell ya

People paint wheels for the same reason people tint taillights and paint valve covers... APC/Altezza taillights COST more than tinting OEM taillights.. am I a ricer because I tinted my tails instead of going with the more expensive option? Hardly. One of these days, you are going to learn that despite all the bellowing you do online, people's cars are still THEIR cars. If someone wants to paint their wheels, what does it affect you? I'm sure there are people that disagree with the mods on your car, but you know, that's why 99% of us on here drive modified cars... we tuned/modded them the way WE want to. You can rant all you want about unpainted body kits and painted wheels, and in the end, people really could give a ****.

What DOES irritate me is when people don't bother to take the time to make their painted wheels look good. You already bought the spraypaint, it doesn't cost you a dime more to do several light coats and make your wheels look consistently coated and nice than to just slather on a bunch of paint and make them look like crap.

My favorite wheels I have EVER rocked on any of my cars were my powdercoated GSR fat fives I had on my old del Sol. They looked great.




PS, Stunt... what do you have to say about people that DO spend a lot of money on aftermarket wheels and then paint them?

So you're telling me that you've NEVER bagged on anyone for having a ricey car or mods that could be considered ricey? I'm willing to bet on the fact that surely you have.....My opinion is my opinion and yours is yours and although I dont agree with it, I'm trying to respect your point of view.....


Does it affect me personally? NO...
The issue that I have is when people start to define our import lifestyle with cheap bodykits and painted wheels....I'm not the only one with this opinion...
Call me a snob or whatever you'd like but I don't see the point.
and if you spend real money on your wheels and you want to be original, then go for it....There's a distinction between painting aftermarket wheels and painting your stock wheels in the attempts to emulate style from a wheel that you wont save up the money to buy....

I agree that it does irk me to see people riding around in cars that look like crap, but on the flip side of that, not everyone has the money to be able to afford a daily driver and keep a show/mod car. And even with people that do, money doesn't buy taste. It's all about people's personal priorities. I would rather see someone driving a car with painted wheels and owning a house than someone who has a "sick" car but is 30 years old and either lives in an apartment or with mom and dad. I disagree with your logic about painting aftermarket wheels vs painting stock wheels, though. Painting wheels is painting wheels. Doesn't matter if they are 14" stockers or 18" volks. They're all painted because the owner of the wheels/car wanted to personalize it. You really have a moot point in this thread. Starting out all angrysaurus rex, now saying everyone has their own opinion and should be respected for it.

brings a tear to my eye to see... People using words like "opinion" and "respect" on here... next thing you know we're all gonna be holding hands and singing some motherfawking kum ba ya in here. SNAP OUT OF IT MAN!

You should also learn how to form complete sentences before you attempt to insult anyone, Mr. Rhodes Scholar.

Caps lock does in fact make him more important, and by letting him know that it aggravates you, you're only encouraging him. :P

Stunt... lemme see pics of your car. Totally off topic, but I just realized that I don't think I've ever seen it...

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

[Nemesis]

If you were rattle canning those things and doing it wrong then yeah I would say so, but thats his point in my opinion.

[Kevykev]

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.
