Thumbs down Something you should never do to a RL.

Class is in session!

Class,
This is NOT what I mean to happen when I say to get rid of the stock rims.

Class dismissed!

But even so, to each, his own.

Isn't it interesting how wide the spectrum of "taste" is

I was trying to picture a car that those wheels would look good on but I believe there aren't any. I've seen a few Camry's and Impala's with similar rims tho.

Please do not make fun of my car. It doesnt help my for sale listing on Autotrader, as somebody will come along that eventually likes it. If its not your style thats fine but it is mine, i like it very much thank you. They are JDM wheels i got from rent-a wheel.

I like em, they are different and one of a kind. As far as people not liking them, everyone has their own tastes.

By the way, any sort of publicity is good in the advertisement world.

I had no idea one could rent wheels to own. I definitely learned something today. I'm not trying to make fun here, I just didn't know you could do that.

In any case, the new owner can always take the wheels off if they are not their style, the RL otherwise looks to be in good shape.

WOW! i am surprised... any other forum i would get straight bashed for those ninja stars on my ride. Its not my car, i just got my RL actually but now i know i can roll straight up wack ass wheels and get away with it.

And that whole rent a rim thing is just ridiculous, but we have one here in Vegas because well image is everything here even if you dont have the scrilla for some bling.

No, you won't. While we try to keep it civilized around here, there is only so far you can mod your RL without ridicule.

For example, just try to put a big ass wing on your RL and see what happens. I double dog dare you!

Don't hate on the 3000GT; I just traded mine in last week to get my RL. you really think the exhaust sticks out beyond normal for them? I always thought it was perfect, and only ruined by people extending them with ridiculous tips.

I'm just curious what some of the guys would say behind your back if you brought this to an Acura dealership lol, maybe make an offer for a-spec wheels discounted 50% off. Whoever the owner was at the time did take good care of the exterior and interior, i think it had like 65,000+ miles.

Those wheels are meant to be on a Chrysler 300-C with blacked out windows and chrome mesh grille.

Kind of off topic, but I find it hilarious of what the members in the neon forum do to their cars. Kind of pathetic, and makes me want to throw up.
