I think silver and silver looks good. Its not a 95 but you get the picture.



I don't really like the bronze on the slips and the gunmetal looks like black. Unless you get steel gray.

JDM cars who sport REAL JDM parts are SHOW CARS. Rotas: $400 Spoon: $1600, therse $1200 that can go under the hood. All the really fast cars at the track that ive seen have guess what? copies.

think before you speak.

LMAO..haha I'm with you on that one, otherwise people wouldn't get so defensive. And for whoever said all the fast cars at the track all have knockoffs.... all i gotta say is..right.... all the fast cars dragging have m/t's and bogarts. If you're using the rotas for autoXing then thats anothing thing... cuz if you damage the wheel who ****** cares its ugly, fairly light, and cheap anyways... so no harm done.

i guess not everyone likes rotas...

but im still damn happy i got slipstreams instead of gsr's or si's that weigh more. plus, i still havent seen many silver slipstreams around.. everyone seems to be caught up in the bronze/black style

yeah, but not everyone and their brother has greenlights. not yet, at least.

every car now is SLIPSTREAM SLIPSTREAM SLIPSTREAM SLIPSTREAM.

i said nothing putting down knockoffs in general. when i said rotas, i meant rotas. they're everywhere, everyone wants them and everyone has them. i'm not saying they look like **** (i don't think they are heaven though) but when it's on every car you see... it gets annoying.

my refernce to altezzas was not as RICE, but as TRENDY and EVERYWHERE.

Knockoffs are fine in my book. But when things become the latest trend and it duplicates and binds together in a big gooey mass, then it's something different.

BY the way, to the person who said every car at the track has knockoffs... what track do you go to??

If I didn't explain my comment or it wasn't taken the way I intended, then I hope I just did. otherwise feel free to reply to me. you asked for an opinion. i gave you mine.

yeah so in case you didn't think rotas were mainstream and trendy now...
BAM

Guess what, buddy. You drive a honda/acura(TRENDY & EVERYWHERE).

You want to be original and stay away from the trends? Buy a yugo, paint it pink w/ green spots, ditch the gasoline engine and build one that runs off pencil shavings.

hi. you have taken the arguemnt and thrown it into a proportion that is too big to make much sense.

so if i took your standpoint, i could say, why do we all wear clothes? EVERYONE wears clothes! we shouldn't wear clothes.

it's not a good analogy; technical, yes, but not logical.

I didnt say,"Everybody drives cars, we shouldnt drive cars". I was talking about brands, which is what you are talking about.

But my whole point is, you talk about how you hate trends, yet you are part of one of the biggest trends today "The import scene". Not only that, but you are driving and modifying one of the trendiest vehicles in the import scene, a honda/acura.

Here are your exact words:
But when things become the latest trend and it duplicates and binds together in a big gooey mass, then it's something different.
Now tell me that doesnt describe the import scene to a "T".

People need to stop letting everyone else dictate what they do and how they modify their cars. If you like rotas, then get them. If you like jdm, then style your car that way. Who cares what everyone else is doing.

I dont know about you, but I dont build my car based on whether or not Im gonna get a or on some damn message board.

Hi. He asked for my opinion. That's what I think, I'm not telling you to think my way.

I never said I hate trends. I said it's something different.

But my whole point is, you talk about how you hate trends, yet you are part of one of the biggest trends today "The import scene". Not only that, but you are driving and modifying one of the trendiest vehicles in the import scene, a honda/acura.
where the hell do you think we are? you're still using a general category as an analogy. there's a big difference between a car and a wheel. variety, rarity, price, etc.

I dont know about you, but I dont build my car based on whether or not Im gonna get a or on some damn message board.
If you didn't, then you wouldn't be defending them so much would you? He asked for an opinion. I GAVE HIM MINE. If you don't like it, then don't use it. He asked us what we thought. I didn't come out of the blue and yell it out.

This argument will go on forever.

so true, rota's have become a huge massive trend, but i don't agree with the term of them being rice, just something veyr played out. HEHE i already got my choice of wheels. I won't tell anyone because i want this to stay good hehe.
