Lets revisit english class for just a second. Such a sentence is a superb example of "hyperbole". This can be defined as purposefully exagerating to make a point.

Therefore, if doing something just to be original is okay, then any course of action to be original would be okay=false.

Ok, let's set the record straight.

That is not "JDM hotness". I've been there. Many times. No self respecting Japanese with any sense of taste would paint their wheels green, over red brake calipers, let alone the idea of just mounting green wheels in the first place. If Takata decided to have their trademark color be baby **** brown, would you all be lining up to be rolling OMFG JDM HAWTNEZZ POO BROWN WEELZ DAWG!!!111!1!1!!

Once again, leave it to the toolsheds at NW Homolutions to make me want to sell my car.

WTF? I didn't even bother reading past the first two pages but I don't get why all of you are saying "thumbs up" when deep down inside, you know those wheels are unbelievably ugly.

^^Who told him what to do? He asked for opinions, thats what he got. Who are you to tell someone "who cares about what you think"? When that was basicly the original question on a thread you didn't start.

Next step is to have them stripped and powdercoated.
Anyways let me know what you guys think. I am pretty much set in doing this(powdercoating).
To be honest it looks like ****.

Seems to me you just lowered the value of your car to that of a wrecked Evo.

I think your missing the point,

this is a public forum and he posted asking people's opinion's some people love it most people hate it, in the end he's going to be the one having to live with it yes, but at the same time he's defacing his evo.

Kinda reminds me of

lol

Ahhh, the "rice defender". There's a lot of you guys in this thread.

It's no wonder import guys get so much **** from old school hotrod guys. How about you attention ****** that feel the need to paint your wheels green do something else to get noticed?...like go fast.
