That will be a while. Probably wont get to drive S2K again until April, or whenever the weather stops being ****. Wont be picking up tires until then.

I like how you bag on rice but your car is shaping up to be the rice equivalent of the Death Star (tm)

Enjoy and good luck with it, just find the irony deliciously amusing! hahahah

Two more questions,

1. Do you like the Miami Dolphins?

2. Are you a troll?

played out visually but 3-4 pounds lighter rotational mass per corner is never played out if you drive it.

20yr old TE37's are played out as well, but I'd rock them on every car I have if I could

Nope and nope. I just want wheels that are going to stand out. My S2K is beautiful as is. AND it sounds sexy with the Nvidia N1 with test pipe and DC header. But after Import Alliance Summer this year, making it into showcase, but yet 13/15 S2K's were on RPF1's, and no one bothered to take a pic of 'just another S2K on RPF1's' I took the only pic of my car. LOL. Dont care what you say, you dont get your car ready and go through all of that to get no love. With just this change of wheels, car will be on radar.

TE's are a different level of wheel. You can still get different current models, and not everyone and their grandma has them.

As far as the troll question... how?

So you want to put wacky wheels to get love? Build it for you, fxck what everyone else thinks. My Evo is pretty modified and crazy colorful. My wheels are candy green/teal. A few shows I went to I didn't get any LOVE but that's because I didn't have fender to lip or -10+ camber. But at the end of the day I love how my car looks and what I've done to it.

As far as the troll question....You have what looks to be good taste. The prelude and s2k both look to be very cleanly built. But to ditch sbc RPF's that go ohhh so well with the bluish silver body to some crazy PIAA wheels painted in completely opposite colors??? It just doesn't make sense to me, that's all.

It's not completely for that reason. I defintely want something that stands out. Prelude had everything done to it possible except turbo. It stood out, because RHD, Volks, Recaros, ect, and non OEM paint. Obviously there was no hella flush 10+ lip, but it had those other things. This S2K, while I love the way it flows together, it's just a bit plain. And I dont plan on RHD swappin it LOL.

And I'll probably end up keeping the RPF1's because they are staggered and +45, which means ONLY an S2K or FD owner who isnt looking to go toiletflush is going to want them, makes them a hard sell. Class or brash.

**** a GTR. It's butt ugly and auto. It's a car that does nothing for me; looks, sound. If they had put that car in the body of a G37 and gave it a manual, I'd actually have one. Infact, my choices for this purchase were Evo X or G37S. Based on being the only 2 up-to-date Japanese cars I like the looks of. G37 looks a bit better... but Evo speed potential.

And of course being in the US can now finally get R32's.... which I could have gotten. But I'm not paying ricer tax on that ****. Cars worth like 4K over there, not paying a dime more.

Holy hell, this guy went from immediately attacking a car that is NOTHING like anything he's ever owned, so defending his choice of cars, parts, and colors. I do believe he is a Millennial of an entitled generation. There's no respect whatsoever.

Come into an Evo forum and bluntly bash someone's used toy before you? Of course we're going to rip apart everything you own, just because you're trying to be a little hard ***. A little niceness and respect goes a long way in here, I'm not sure how childish the S2K forums are.

By the way, that lip/**** on the Prelude could fit an entire Mexican family picnic on it. It reminds me of the Pontiac G6 wing which was horrendous.

So, welcome to the forums, and play nice.

I mean in Japan. Any of the old cars are worth peanuts over there, but yet people want $15K+ for them over here. A GTR that is below legal US import age sits there worth a few grand, as soon as its old enough it's value is 3-4x.

All this because I dont agree that plastidip should ever be used under any circumstances? You're a joke. I bet that you, as well as anyone else on here sees a Civic or similar car with shortcutdip, you probably rip on it because "hur dur poor Civic driver cant afford paint"
