    I see now. Either way, I'm not feeling the green wheels on the Audi or the M3. Just doesn't seem tasteful.

    And the 'corvette' scene is any different. CCWs, loud exhaust and a small drop... and smoke the tails and side markers. That is what 90% of the Z06s I see have.

    Some cars look best when done a single way and other owners like to follow trends or do something 'different'. This is no different. It is the same thing that swept through the e36 scene... clears, LTWs and a drop. Now the 'scene' is to color your wheels something crazy. It is not my style personally but if they want greens wheel then get green wheels.

    how do i know you?






    I painted my wheels green simply for IA, it was a drunken kinda wtf moment. we figured why the hell not, it will turn heads and its something kinda different. But my wheels have already been taken apart and are completely different. the paint on my mirrors and wing is gone, and it will be a cleaner look. even though i did like the green

    I actually dont mind the car or the wheels or anything like that. you seem like a nice guy and a cool person. DO whatever you like.

    lol oh im not offended even if ppl think that i was called out, alex knows that i loved that e36 to death, and that car was kinda the deciding factor that i was going to do it. i just knew that i was not going to keep the wheels like that forever.


    you have no idea how many haters would say "i cant believe you did that to work equips" bla bla. but its just paint and it can be changed just as easy as they were.


    ps you should "sponser" me one of dem headers

    I think they all look good actually....

    I dont see where everyone says "OMG OMG the tuner scene every car looks the same"

    ..... realistically... every car style kind of begins to blend together at some point.

    If it looks good, it just looks good... should be left at that.

    Default the top 3

    The top BMW, AUdi, and VW look the best. Nice and sharp.

    the VW looks very clean with wheel like that.

    This is from 2000 but i have a feeling it was run in the late 90's as well.




    Found it!

    It was white in 1999...that is why i couldn't recall it.



    Actually, in 1999 Raybrig and Mugen ran green wheels as well.

    Best looking one is the Civ, the E36 looks dumb and I am a HUGE fan of those cars.

    That color is not Takata green BTW.

    Its funny if you go look at the IA pics from TN, there was like 3 wheels in rotation

    Volk TE37s
    Regamasters
    Mesh BBS Style

    They were on just about ever honda/nissan at the meet. I love how everyone tries to be different but all they do is the same shit over and over again. It used to be you went to car shows to see something different, now its the same car with the same wheels.

    Truth. Everything in the import scene is unoriginal. I did not go to IA, but from what I saw in the pictures I would have been very bored as all the cars seemed the same. How many tucked bays, motor swaps, and similar wheels can you see before you get tired of it?

    The only thing I was really impressed with was the few hondas that had the v6 swap ... and even that is getting a little common.
