I've had too many real/fake wheel debates in my day so I'm not going there. But basically, I'm a college kid and fake wheels saved me money...

Rotiform ROC's coming soon....
which is exactly why i got rid of mines the minute i finally restored them and put them on.

That's how it always goes, well for me it does. If I didn't have to drop over a grand on coilovers(they are worth it, and it's needed to make that car sit and look good) and misc stuff for the car, I'd be all over that too.

I've seen a post for Volk AV3 for a grand, 18x9/10 +44, needs adapters to work though, that'll get them under the fenders fine.

If you've got the hook-up, let me know!
I'm looking for a specific set.

honestly, i think the biggest bull____ reasoning in this scene today is the fact that people shy away from doing something just because someone else has already done something similar. so what that there's another tC on titanium chrome Grids? if that's what you like, ____ing buy those wheels and try to top the person that did it. if you top the person that did it, they're going to try to top you right back. friendly competition is what keeps ____ alive.

don't just look at all these expensive wheels because people will "respect you more". honestly, if you're going to respect someone based off of the amount of money they're willing to spend on something, that's crap. do you really think a large amount of people respect the women that buy $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to be what society would call "attractive"? i highly doubt it.

respect should be given based on the time you spend on it, the attention you give to details, your intelligence on the subject, and your overall plan and if it was executed well. respect shouldn't be given based on the fact that someone spent $3,000 more than the other person. at the end of the day, those $3,000 18x9.5 +38 wheels are going to require the same amount of work to fit on my car as the $1,000 18x9.5 +38 wheels are, and if you yourself put in the time and effort, you should be rewarded with respect.
if someone buys $4,000 wheels and has no true knowledge of fitment, has someone else do all the hard labor for them, and does no research, are you going to respect them? once again, i highly doubt it. there's a reason a lot of people tell the noobs to "search" on forums. we all took the time and did the work ourselves, and you should too. in the end it's really a favor, because it's more rewarding that way.

don't strive for orignality because you think it'll for some reason make you "better" than someone else who "jocked someone elses style". the desire to be more unique than other people isn't really a unique idea. don't fall into that strand of thinking because then you yourself are going to be everything you're trying to stay away from. as far as stance goes, we're all trying to do one thing: get from point A to point B, and look good doing it. most of us buy clothes to look good. those clothes can be from the thrift store or from Louis Vuitton, but if you look good, no one is really going to judge you.

this is all regarding wheel choice. i'm not telling everyone to go clone someone's style, i'm telling people to find a style you enjoy, and tweak it to your liking. that's really how most people live their lives, even if it's subconsciously. think about it.
dropzone this quote was the most easily accessible/recent, so i just used it as an example. it's not personal attack on you at all, so don't trip. haha. even if i'm just misinterpreting what you said, my point still stands. alright cool.

here's an old picture so there can at least be a picture with a metric ____ ton of text:

and no pete i'm not mad, i'm just throwing my opinion out there. it's pretty much just a clarification of thought. it helps to get that crap down in writing.
hopefully it can inspire people who are on the fence to make a right decision, not just something that makes them e-famous.

LMAO, I've been wanting to use that for a moment

There is no offense taken at all here. Of course only one person can get ____ first, but to make it look good(speaking of wheel choice), someone will strive to make it fit better/best in fitment. Are you trying to convince me to get Grids? lol

hahaha, no i'm not really trying to convince you, dropzone. that TLDR paragraph was basically just directed at everyone, you just happened to be quoted. it's a more logical approach to that kind of ____ i guess.
i don't know, i've been studying/writing all day, i'm just in that mood. ____ finals. hahaha.

but yes, clearly:
