Have you seen the youtube videos Schmidt posted where they try to scuff the lips on a set of wheels?

He didn't say anything to the contrary. He just said he thinks they'd look good on his car. Who cares if its been done before?

Personally, that's a wheel that can only look good on a period correct car. Like a Mk1 Volkswagen Rabbit, Jetta, or Polo. Maybe a Honda EF hatch would look slick on a 14 or 15 inch set. Anything newer and it looks funny.

You can't just let the guy roll around with his car looking all dumb, people at meets and shows all huddled up, pointing and laughing.

But siblues is right. I had a Volkswagen guy tell me that RegaMaster's were ugly. Of course, he's the guy running the played out as all hell BBS RS and thinks he's God. Car looks just like half the other's at the show. FWIW, I think BBS RS are hella ugly...but whatever.

Do what you feel looks good to you. Being different should be encouraged.

My response was made in regards to this statement he made:

I never commented negatively or positively, nor did I give an opinion. So, I don't know where the "who cares" statement is directed.

Technically speaking, Schmidt TH-Lines are period correct on his chassis since they're still in production. If the design looks dated on the newer chassis, I'd say that its entirely subjective.

Maybe it's the condescending way you use the term "bud". It doesn't matter how you mean it, no one normal speaks that way in every day life.

You think the term "bud" is condescending? Would you prefer "mate" like the Australian's prefer? Its merely an association word, that you're reading entirely too much into.

And, I have yet to find someone who hasn't said "bud" at least once in real life. Maybe you live a sheltered life? How should I know?

I speak this way to everyone, pal.

This. I know where Matt's coming from with the technicality regarding period correctness. But technicalities aside, the basic design of this particular wheel would hands down look best on a car designed back when this wheel was designed. Just because they are still made today doesn't mean they were designed to look "good" on today's cars.

But yeah, taste is subjective.

My personal opinion, these are a disaster. But if you like them, then that's all that really matters because you're building your car for your own enjoyment.
