The one with the ghosts...uh-huh. But, we should post that one all over so people quit asking about lambo doors.

I suppose the different strokes for different folks thing applies here. At the end of it all though, i assumed they would look more out of place and way less proportional. If it has to be done, the TL's pictured dont do too bad a job with 22"s on them, not my cup of tea, but hey. I think its also a result of the latest donk/bubble/box craze going on. It makes it look more appropriate if thats even fair to use in this situation. Anyhow, it never seems to work well when you put huge wheels on a sport sedan. Clean/tidy/simple is normally the best route.

Also, can someone please explain to me the need to advertise what size wheel you're running on the side of your car? I mean I know I'm like the super-white dude who probably "just doesn't understand that culture" but seriously, I just don't get it.
"Yeah, man. My wheels are 22". It says so right there on my fender. In case you didn't know, 22" is huge, so I need to let everyone know just in case they're not privileged enough to have the time of day to come up and ask me."

Do I even bother with a response?
If you're gonna call me out, be prepared to get schooled, whether that's on the internet or real life. I'm surprised you're even capable of figuring out how to submit a message, considering that you somehow missed every single one of my 8,000 posts with pictures of my 3G. (or never mind the fact that you could have researched that little tidbit by looking at my signature...)
If you want to say things like "keep everything above the belt" then don't go implying that I'm somehow inferior to you, because obviously if written word was any indication whatsoever, you're not.
Wait your 30 with a 2nd Gen (huh?!) TL what happened; that management job at Burger king never fell threw
Now take your toys and go home.

I think he was just messing around, and possibly siding with you. I wasn't, though. But, I will apologize for being a jerk earlier.
I get offended when people try to imply (or express) that I'm sort sort of racist or anything related to it, because I'm the furthest thing from that. I even said in my original post (the one that got your attention) that I "probably just [don't] understand that culture." Basically, I was just throwing out a disclaimer that I didn't get it. It wasn't intended to be spiteful; I was just questioning it because it doesn't make sense to me, personally.
To be clear, there's nothing wrong with questioning a "culture." This whole AcuraZine thing is a culture, and I'm sure people who aren't interested in online forums, or in modifying their cars, would be very quick to question the culture, but there's nothing wrong with that, per se.

FWIW - I didn't see the whole "language flame war" thing on page 2 until AFTER I posted mine.
So, I was supporting your choice to do what you wanted to your car, while taking a jab at your post language. But, would not have done so had I seen the 2nd page sooner.
I was too late to edit/delete and did not have a "report post" option on my own post to request deletion.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Brett - I didn't want to comment here, but it's the only place you've posted pics of the new wheels (not allowed to comment in the sticky in the Wheels subforum)....they look great! You need to start a clean thread with a lot pics from all angles.
All - text messaging is the most assinine form of communication ever, and the subsequent "language" of abbreviations it spawned is just sad. I don't care if all the kids are doing it...all the kids used to where Jams and parachute pants, too. It was summed up best in an episode of The Boondocks.
