in any case i'm buying a set, they look nice imo i dont care if people don like black wheels etc. I LIKE THEM and thats all that matters. the damn muffler attracts enuf attention from the cops,i dont need a set of 17" heavy white wheels that scream "pull me over" plus 15" tires are cheap

Agreed! I'm sick of the hating of affordable rims. Hey, if you got $400+ per wheel to drop, more power to ya. My car is a real daily driver, meaning whereever my *** goes, I'm driving there. That means parking next to big curbs, and sometimes on the street, in the city, all night. I'd feel like a dick if I had to change my plans because my wheels are too exensive to park anywhere. My wheels look good, and if they get jacked, I won't lose my life savings.

Half the wheel snobs are little kids who live at home and have never seen a bill in their life. Sorry, but some things in life are way f-ing more important than if your wheels are "real" or "fake."

Black Rims look good on almost any colour especially on black cars. Looks very sinister !

uhm if you think real spoon wheels are ripoffs you got a LONG way to go. i dislike companies that rip designs off because that prevents more jdm stuff from being imported to the US. they're afraid their designs will be rota-ized. i am certainly not bitter that i paid more for my 16x7 sw388s. i know that they are FAR superior wheels. they are not even on the same page. those rotas have a crappy krylon spray on it and while they are quite light for cast rims, they are still cast and they are still heavier. every pound counts, especially when it comes to rotational mass. but i'm sure you knew that. ask anyone who has spoons or desmonds and they will tell you that they were worth every penny.

personally i dont care if some ricer thinks i have rotas. i bought them for PERFORMANCE and function, and because i love how they look. i do look down on rotas. i believe that i'm entitled to my opinion. they are a poorly made copy in many ways.

and before anyone else comments, i work full time and bought everything for my car with my own money. i didnt say this to get congratulated, i said it in response to those who were commenting that mommy buys kids everything. i've seen spoiled kids and it pisses me off too. i'm not one of them, however.
