Just a comment on originality

how come alot of u folks wanna put on the same wheels as other people. I keep seeing all these post for Zauber Getting wheels. Damn whatever happen to people wanting to not drive by a car with the same wheels like yours, that sucks.

If u need help with rims lemme know cause i have a few ideas. Im not gonna tell what im riding cause i dont want anyone biting, but there 19's in chrome..haha.. lets kill all that Zauber getting crap..get yah own style

Who are you? The "Mr. Blackwell" of wheels?

I agree with you on some level... but at the same time, it also bothers me whenever people go out of their way, just to be different.

As far as "originality" goes... NOTHING out there is original... everything's been done. If people desire a certain wheel on the car THEY PAID for... that's their business.

(In case you didn't know... Mr Blackwell is this "fashion police" who thinks he's always right when it comes to what to wear, yet he's like this total "gaylord" that dresses really really bad, my point is... what makes you think your opinion is right?)

I'm NOT trying to start a feud... it's just, you come off like you're the "Mr. know it all."

For example... I think chrome wheels suck... but that's just my opinion...

Oh, BTW... I have a set of 19x8 "Rezax IIs" by "Work" www.work-wheels.co.jp look it up... and see if anyone else has a set of those.


...that's just my "commentary" on your "comment on originality"

I dont think that people shouldnt be bittin peoples style but i also think that they didnt make rims for only one person.And in our case we dont have alot of options on wheels so we gotta take what we can get. especially if we dont have the money.Its bad enough the car cost 30k. So if people dont want other people gettin the same rims they got then they should help out and show people more options.I only seen 4 19's wheels that are chrome that i like and one set cost more than 4700 dollars. so give people more options and they wont bite ....:p

i know people wont bite me cause im not postin pics.

You want to be original, get a set of these. I guarantee you will be one-of-a-kind!

I remember those. The only car I've seen it on was a VW Cabrio. What's funny is that the screw part for the cap is on the bear's tummy.

I agree with the originality argument, however, you're missing the fact that we all don't live in the same town.

You have what, one guy in Florida and another in Illinois that have chrome Zauber Gettin's??? Who cares if they have the same wheels. It's not the same as some guy who has the exact same car as you, see's you driving around town, and then goes and creates an exact duplicate of your ride right down to the wheels.

This forum is for TL'ers to get ideas. Were it not for this forum, I would never have heard of Zauber Gettins or Bersaglios etc...
I'd be looking into buying a cheap one piece bling bling package at the local auto shop.

Kudos to you. At least if you get something different and it gets stolen, you know who did it.

By the way the 19's i have on my car i have not seen any pics of em here yet. i will post mine soon as i see em on someone else car... Hope i didn't offend anyone though. It was meant to just me a thread that we can debate on a bit... but no more talk bout Zauber Gettings
