to me personally, if i like how the wheels look then i like how they look, ironically one of my least favorite wheels that i had on my car were mugen wheels lol. Everyone in here loved this look but for some reason i just didnt like it

 

i like real wheels too, its just not much of a difference really just piece of mind
and the fact that you want people to think your ballin. if you track your car, yeah get some wheels that are light weight and not gonna break when you push your car to the limits but for daily driving, they look the same and most people dont want to put wheels on there car thats worth the same as the car, so i think its all pride.
p.s. i like mugen wheels but think the MR5's are the ugliest wheels that people think are nice on the DA. they are disgusting

 

i've seen custom sets that look nice but i just wasnt feelin them after they were on the car, traded them for my enkei 92's which i liked so much more

 

Enkei 92 15x8 +25 is my next set of rims. ive always liked those!

 

thanks for caring about how i spend my money

i just bought an orbea frame....should i have gotten a walmart frame instead?

 

i prefer the older style ones with a step lip

 

The real vs copy will always be an arguable topic, everyone has their reasons for what they buy. What's wrong with having full coverage on a older car? I have it on my teg and it was one of the best things I ever did! My car has been hit three times while parked and I was never given a hard time with getting checks for the damage, plus my aftermarket parts are covered as long as I have a receipt for the parts. I have to much invested in my car not to have coverage by only having shitty insurance

 

same here, only thing that bugged me was the valve stem hanging on the lip, wish it was inside

 

i dont like stepped lips. and i can get them brand new now so its all good. i guess nothings wrong with full coverage. i just never thought of gettin full coverage for my DA i have it on the G35 only cause its financed. i guess im just cheap. i just think people shouldnt bust other peoples ***** because of the rims they have on there car. they are just rims and you dont know the situation of the person maybe they really cant afford the "real" rims. it doesnt matter and is just another reason for people to talk **** about others because people, especially on forums LOVE talking **** for whatever reason.

 

Yeah a lot of **** talking happens... Mostly on ht lol. One of the reasons I don't post on ht that much anymore.

 

im on G2IC too but i think HT is easier to navigate through. but G2IC is there for me when i need to find DA specific things to buy and write ups.

 

I'm on g2ic waaaay more then here, best site for g2's, plus less arguing

 

there's your answer. If you don't want to pay thats up to you, but post your car with cheap wheels and people are going to say something. Regadless of your wants/needs/desires/abilities to pay/own wheels.

 

My favorite most affordable wheel

 

My favorite wheels I had on the teg, if they were 15's i would of never sold them

 

^only DA i've seen with a double din set up

 

hey herb. are you not coming here in nov? i dont think i have room in my car for your *** anyway! im leaving the 11th prolly late at night. is it still cool if i stay at your place for a night? im hoping to only make 2 stops on the way to utah. oh and you should totally buy my brothers mf10l's and tell him i talked you into it.

 

heres a current pic of my da. i love the car with the si wheels allot. i will take an oem wheel over a rota anyday. i would only use rotas for track beaters! i had those shitty rota flights on my car for so long because i was waiting for my brother to get these wheels from his place in jersey for a year.

 

i have oem rims. so nobody should be talkin ****. and i wasnt talking about myself. but you are right. and i am cheap, or poor and in denial i havent decided yet.

 

i really like DA's with SI's on them idk why it looks to be the cleanest OEM rim for the DA's. im also rockin the SI's and i like it.

 

si wheels were the first set of wheels i ever bought, back when i had my db7

 

i wasnt feeling the si wheels thats why i went with the ex ones idk it might just be me but i think the spokes are just too big

 

And honestly, there is nothing wrong with that.

here was my 91 on fat five kinda hard to see them but the only one i could find from 5 years ago

 

I hate to rehash a conversation from a few pages back, but Spoon SW388 wheels are JDM.

It doesn't matter where something is made. If it's intended to be sold to the JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET, it's a JDM product. Spoon wheels were made by Desmond for the Japanese market and originally only made it to the US retail market through authorized companies like Opak & IL4. It doesn't matter that they were made in Russia, they're a wheel produced for the Japanese market, hence JDM.

If you go to Japan and see all the rich businessmen driving RHD Mercedes Benz vehicles, those are JDM, JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET versions that are still made in Germany. It's no different than some of the Civic coupes made in the USA/Canada and shipped to Japan; they were North American made cars but had specific JDM versions for export.
