Is there any difference from the oem gsr blade rims compared to the aftermarket blade rims? The reason i'am asking this is because i have seen a lot of afternmarket blades rims on ebay and can really tell the difference. They say its an exact duplicate, but a lot of aftermarket parts don't look exactly like the original from my experience.

 

blades = played out

but anyways, i've seen the aftermarket ones and they're pretty good knock-offs..

 

haha, i got rid of my blades before they stopped being so sought-after. got fat fives in perfect perfect shape with nice tires w/ tons of meat plus $50 for my old blades w/ all bald tires in only kinda crappy shape. one was way brighter than the other 3 b/c it was a new aftermarket one. it was sweet lookin, but the others didn't match. get aftermarkets if you can. really shiny, and that's like +10hp at the ground and stuff.

you sound surprised

 

Probably because it's a dumb thing to say

If that's the case, then I guess civics and integras are played out. Because there are a lot more of them than there are blades

yes but civics and integras can be made to look a bit different than the other guys car...

blades can only be painted and whoever paints them does either gunmetal or black. lol. it's just me.. i had them and sold them after i realized there's nothing really special about them... mind you, i sold them for $700 and made a killing on them. for $700, i'd rather get a nice set of aftermarket wheels....

 

Holy **** did you make a killing I've never heard of anyone paying that much for them. I sold mine, w/ curbage and with crummy tires for 350 a couple years back.

I'm thinking about getting some and then painting them bright purple.

 

I have heard from other people that the oem gsr blades have a dull finish compared to the aftermarket ones that appear to be a little bit more shiny. The oem one's i think say made in japan with a honda stamp and the aftermarket made in china without a honda stamp.

 

i don't remember ...
