    Default My rims cost more than my ride!!

    I just figured I'd post up some pics of my current mode of transportation while my car is gettin painted.. Reps/comments/thoughts appreciated and rewarded...





















    and the incredibly convenient mini woofer!!







    and finally, the absolute BEST part of the car... how amazingly clean this motor is and runs!!









    Thanks,
    Ben

    atleast you can get away with buying 15inch wheels...buying 19's and tires for 19's cost $$$$$$

    Honestly it could look good if the paint was nice, but it makes no sense having nice ass wheels with a shitty looking paint job and shitty pictures.

    agreed, but i wouldnt say that 15inch volks are "cheap" by any means.. but no, the wheels actually are for the car that is getting painted... i just figured id rock them on the crx while it was on the DL.. ( and really, the paint is 21 years old.. what do you expect it to look like?)

    I would expect that the type of person who would buy expensive wheels for a car would also care enough to get the car repainted so it looks nice...but typically ppl who own old honda's like this seldom have one in good overall shape.

    What pleasure does this get you?

    And if we're playing that game, trying buying 295/40/18 for all four wheels.

    To the OP. It looks clean. I can dig it.

    It does look good. The picture quality is irrelevant to this post. He's simply joking about how his rims cost more than his DD. The paint is actually damn nice for 21 years old.

    he didn't buy those wheels for that car numb nuts. Your comprehension level plummets when you get on this site, or are you just that stupid 100% of the time?

    Don't worry about him, MAYBE a handful of people actually "like" him, but 99.9% of IA doesn't care for him. He's not intelligent, not car savvy, doesn't know shit about ANYTHING. I mean, some people are good in at least ONE thing, fuck...I just answered myself. He is good at one thing, being a douchebag that everyone hates. lol.

    Car looks clean man. That's a very nice DD to have. I bet it gets great gas mileage!
