Does anyone here like "bling bling" rims?
I'm looking around and I see a lot of disapproval when there's a car that is sitting on dubs that have a lot of bling in them. Or cars that have (expensive) authentic and more classy looking spinner rims.
I'm wondering, am I the only one that likes all of that? I could see why people would disapprove of it, but anyone else like them? I'm not here to defend all types of them because a lot of cheesy. But whenever there's a pic of wheel posted that has a lot of chrome on it, it seems to get a thumbs down rating for the most part.
Where are my brothers at?

Anyway, first of YOU GOT TO DO YOU. You pay for it, you have to lay your head and sleep, you drive in it. There is BLING on CL and there is good bling and bling that some don't prefer. Good bling is polished quality rims, or chrome WOrk Equips and other examples of bling done well. Lexus is one of the few cars that can get away with CHROME and look damn good.
Now understand its bigger than CL doesn't like ghetto rims. Speaking from an art standpoint, from a modding standpoint, wheels are to ACCENT your car. Wheels are not to take your eyes AWAY from the car. They are to make the picture all go together. Too many times, I see a car or hear people say "nice wheels" and don't say ANYTHING about the car.
Its like wearing a Hugo Boss suit and some clown shoes or some Air Jordans. It just doesn't go and people will only notice your feet.

^I didn't know what to name this thread but I think you sort of get an idea of what I mean 
Not the best choice of words
Example, if I posted
and said these were my next wheels, I would get a lot of disapproval without people actually knowing what brand it was.. Or these 
or 
.
It's like the term ricer. High quality or not, it seems these type of rims usually get squeezed into one catagory, from Lexani to Bob's wheels.

Those wheels are just not pleasing to my eyes. They could be a pattern on a tie, i just don't like the shape.
Again, do you. Buy and rock what YOU want. Don't seek other peoples approval or you will always be miserable

Besides being bling those wheels are ugly. But like 1Sick said, mod your car the way YOU want to. The people of CL arent paying for your mods so dont go by what they want. If you post pics and someone doesnt like something Im sure they will let you know, but it is a LOT worse on other sites

My personal opinion: I'm not easily wowed by shiny objects. I would hope that our higher intellect would lead us to not be as easily fascinated as monkeys. Just because it's shiny doesn't make it special.
... and that's just my opinion.

Its a tough call, but pretty much it falls to aesthetic taste, alot of the cheaper wheels are simply made for the "round and shiny" crowd, meaning as long as its 20" or larger, shiny, and round they are fine (regardless of fitment, weight, finish, yadda yadda).
Clublexus tends to go for the cleaner style, but alot of us still like chorme or polished (me included). I think LXOgood, BLuelex, Teelex, Lexis11, are good examples of clean bling!

Yup I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee the bling, can't help it. Nothing like seeing a beautiful chrome wheel gleaming after some polish. Just sp pleasing to the eye. Now a lot of chrome wheels can also be ugly as all hell but again it comes down to what you like.

It's all personal preference. Me, I think 18" is the biggest a SC should have. But that's my opinion. 1sick said it best saying the buyer is the one that has to live with the choice. If they like it - so be it. As for Bling rims....too busy for me. They seem angular and sharp.

Me personally I like bling wheels, but not the cheapy ones, the ones that look like plastic. As mentioned it has to be clean bling as in multi spoked / mesh / five, six spoke style .
