    Just incase anyone was wondering. Where I live its called "Euroing" or car shows with these mods are Euro car shows. Don't understand it since only a few cars from europe ever are at these shows, German mades usually. I don't know but its ur fault!!! :D :hehe:

    These are 2 Cars that I admire.

    WRX STi
    and
    Lancer Evolution

    These are nice euro cars. Its ok to throw 20's-22's on a Escalade, a Tahoe, a Yukon, and Navigator. Any others just look wrong. Also for Trucks, a Ford Lightning,Dodge Hemi, and a Chevy Silverado. Those are about the only vehicles that look right with them on. Spinning Rims are pretty nice, but the hub caps are for ****.

    back to the original topic, you probably don't want to know how much a set of the real spinning rims costs... its a ridiculous amount (close to $1k+ a wheel)

    I saw a Mercedes CLK the other day with a set of these spinning rims on, and people were actually pointing and laughing in the street :hehe:

    I thought the light-up window washers were bad but at least they were cheap and tacky - these things are expensive and tacky which is far worse!

    The mind boggles as to whom they are trying to impress with these things? Surely if you spend £4k on a set of alloys you do not want passers by laughing as you cruise by?

    Why not spend £2k and a nice set of Volks Racing or Veilside wheels - half the price and far far cooler.

    Oh and as a side note: 4x4's suck - regardless of wheels :naughty:

    ok on a functional note, they migh be able to draw more air over the brakes at a stoplight where otherwise the whole brake assembly would just heatsoak and could ruin the brake fluid
    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
    ....ok i tried to say that with a straight face but couldn't those things are just ridiculous
