grin, very true. You can have a sack of mad cash and have no taste. Maybe, maybe buy some style, but thats about it.

Even looking at pics on here, seeing a car with nice wheels, a pimped body kit from JP and lowered right, damn does it look hot. GS, LS, IS or SC, they are all SWEET when done right.

I agree. BMW, Benz, Nissan, Audi, etc, when done right, they look wonderful.

Oh, watch out for the new Altima's on 20s, I've seen 3 here with fake rims (1 had yours knocked off). It's the next craze...

i gotta say, seeing any car done up right is rare these days. theres alot of really flashy cars/SUVs done up right in newport/costa mesa/laguna area....but thats where rich folk congregate. to see a nice lex or acura or SUV done up right in suburban irvine? good luck. i just pulled out of the ralphs shopping center and parked next to me was a black jetta lowered with leopard skin seat covers and a lowered integra with white wheels, white windshield wipers and white stickers. now thats style!

let's face it, if you wanna be bling-bling, you better have the cash to back it up. Why fake-bling? real bling = rapper-ish, fake bling = ghetto.

It's pretty ghetto to spend 2000 dollars on 20 inch chrome wheels with tires.

If I'm THAT rich I would get some forged magnesium wheels not some bling wheels but that's just me. My theory is, if you wanna bling then better have the cash to back up that style, or else it's just ghetto-fabulous.

knock-offs suck.

what the fu*k is bling and how did that lame a*s word become part of my life. you want to spend 6 thousand dollars on rims so people think youre some kind of pimp, go right ahead. i have better things to spend 6g on

edit: btw, whats with the rapper=bling analogy? dude, turn off mtv for 5 minutes

i'm not quite sure what you're saying, but i hate the word "bling" and "DuBz" most of all. hate the words themselves and the style and image they portray. i agree that $6k is a lot to spend on rims for a car that tops out about $55k. I may one day get BR5's if i'm incredibly rich, but otherwise my max is $4k at best.

two punk-*** cars today, an eclipse spyder with nasty 17" chromes asked me to race. riiiight, in downtown, with cars all around. saw a '97 TL with 20" chromes and it too was ugly but the rims were WAY to big for the car. just tasteless. *****s sitting all low in their car with one hand strategically placed on the top of the steering wheel. some will never learn

LD1 is a classic. I was going to get a set of it until I saw many faked one running on the street.

Oasis LD1 $2400 wheels and tires, yeah LH should be pissed. These knock off corps really went to town on this design, everyone has a LD1 rip.

Yeah bran new CLK, I would rather take the AMG wheels off the shelf then buy knockoff's. Nothing wrong with the AMG logo.
