[14alero]

[kwhauck]

still ugly........

[14alero]

Thank You Sir

[Spilner521]

still ugly........
I agree

[[ion] C2]

Yup. Chromies for the homies.

Thank You SirThat's what she said.

[Bad99Olds]

C2;392288']Yup. Chromies for the homies.

That's what she said.

hahahahahaha so politically incorrect

[14alero]

Yeah i was going to trade for some black with chrome lip but those wheels are played out and already had some and everyone has them

[AGT]

^^ LOL :lol:

[Trickyslick]

Get what you like...enjoy.

[kwhauck]

yours are ugly too.....

[jayson_waltz]

^ full of compiments today aren't we? lol i agree tho

[[ion] C2]

yeah they are, i think everyone said that when he first posted them then he deleted his original posts and pictures. he works at a customs shop or owns one and someone said something to the effect of "well i know never to go there for anything" :lol:

[kwhauck]

i speak my mind, and i am not a fan of big ghetto chrome rims on aleros, or most cars for that matter, if they are chrome, i like a nice clean 5 or 6 spoke design and no rivets or shit like that.........but actually i am having a good day, gonna finish out the work day buy going to ride 4 wheelers this afternoon.....

[14alero]

Not really was asking for comments just posting that i am getting them and kwhauck that just like saying aftermath has big ghetto rims cause he rockin 20 s right but keep your stockers they look sweet

[kwhauck]

if you post you are gonna get comments, and just posting to let people know is pretty stupid, cuz you are gonna get comments especially with ugly rims........."ummm just posting to let everybody know I am gonna go take a big poop, but don't post any replies, cuz i just wanted to let everybody know....."

your car looks so much sexier with those OSV's!!!:eek:

[billytheman1188]

Oh yea, chrome looks AMAZING on any car. It makes your car stand out, and on the aleros it looks good with clear headlights and the chrome piece around the windows really goes good with the rims. Go chrome or go home:coolio::p

[Trickyslick]

I love how there are such a bunch of biches here...again lets all get the same rims and lets do the same shit to our cars that really makes you origional...and the word custom means to make it to an INDIVIDUALS taste not the same as every other a-hole's. And you wonder why we loose some many people here, because you have a select few that think they are god around here...I asked nothing about my car because I dont give a Shit what you think....

I agree OSV's...but I dont have that kind of money to spend.

[[ion] C2]

massive wings and fart cans with 50 spoke rims are custom and individual, doesn't mean we have to like it.

if you don't give a shit why'd you type up all that bullshit. if you can't handle opinions, get the fuck out. there is no need to sugar coat things here just so you feel good about blowing your money on shiny chrome ghetto wheels.

[Trickyslick]

I just cant stand that you think you are the all ever knowing, just because you have some stuff done to your car...yeah black rims make you different than every other civic out there. And I typed that shit up because Kwhanuch decided he had to throw shit out there. As I have said before just because you dont like it does not give you the right to be a TOTAL F'N A-HOLE

[[ion] C2]

oh shit

Your rims are chrome, so that must mean you're just like every gangsta donk and pickup truck that come with factory 15" chromed steelies, right? Going by your ever so insightful logic.

Also, my wheels are gunmetal, dumbass.


I can't stand that you think just because you post it online that EVERYONE'S SUPPOSED TO LOVE IT AND SAY HOW WONDERFUL THEY LOOK when the majority of people think IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT.

Welcome to the internet, where we say it like it is, and not say whatever makes you "FEEL GOOD."

[billytheman1188]

So chrome rims are "ghetto".....heh. Well i am 100% happy with the $1300 i spent on my rims. You know why? Because a car with chrome rims will look A LOT better than a car with black rims, gunmetal, etc.

I would think you would feel bad for spending money on black wheels..... you can just go spray paint your rims black and get the same effect.

[[ion] C2]

No, they aren't. THOSE chrome rims he has are ghetto.

Mine are GUNMETAL WITH A CHROME LIP RETARDS. The same effect CANNOT be had by fucking spray painting the shit out of stock wheels and magically they turn into Motegi Racing FF7 wheels with BFGoodrich KDW tires.

The logic you guys use is hilarious!

[Trickyslick]

And you need to check yourself....mine are polished with gunmetal...

[[ion] C2]

Really. That's gunmetal.

The point is, you both purchased ugly wheels and then hate the response you get. Don't post it up if you don't want actual opinions. You don't get a "feel good" response, you get what it is.

[billytheman1188]

I wouldnt call them ghetto.....but the spokes are too close together and im not a fan of the rivets. But my sister has 18" chrome on her car with some rivets and the rims are bad ass.....

There is no need for kwchauck to chime in and be a douche to everyone about their rims just because he has some "cool lightweight rims"....lol.

Chrome rims that make a car look amazing
or
lightweight rims that wont really make your car that much faster and look like regular old rims.

tough choice

[[ion] C2]

heh Wedsport wheels don't look like "regular old rims."

http://www.dynamic-dyno.com/9-2X/images/17x7pt5_14pt5lbs-WedsportTC005Grey345.gif


and you better bet that rotational mass reduction will make a big difference go race with your heavy chromes compared to stock wheels, big difference in performance.


there is no need for everyone to comment good on something that looks bad! you post shit online then expect to ONLY get good opinions? OPINIONS!

[Trickyslick]

Yes they are polished spokes with gunmetal lip and center...and I understand if you dont like them...I didnt ask you or Kwchauck. One thing is constuctive the other is just being a DI#K

[billytheman1188]

i dont really care what anybody says, lol....im just stating MY opinion.
And i do notice a difference when i put my stockers back on, but i would NEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER spend a lot of money on some lightweight wheels so i can get a few extra horse.... too much money to spend for a minimal amount of performance

[billytheman1188]

One thing is constuctive the other is just being a DI#K

exactly!

[[ion] C2]

what can you say constructive about wheels someone already bought? lol

"they don't look good, but you should buy ______"?

[IRONDOG442]

I got some Alero 442 wheels I can sell ya! If you like unique they're all you !!!

[01OldsAleroGt]

jesus christ people... we are sounding like a bunch of bablin arguin kids.. seriously.. if they like chrome.. let em like it.. if they like light weight racing wheels.. let em...
to each their own people.. ok

[14alero]

well dam i didnt what this getting into an arguing match Im going to like the wheels cuz there different im not getting gunmetal and chrome lip cuz everyone has them i want to be different i didnt say they were ugly like you called mine but dont care thanks

[[ion] C2]

We're not stopping them from liking their wheels; we're giving the honest opinion.

If they like their choices, then they shouldn't care whatsoever what others think. You can put down my car all you want;l I don't care, because I like every aspect of it.

If they really think they made a good choice in their wheels, they'd brush it off... but it sounds like they're unsure, which is why they care so much in finding anything to seem like they somehow made a good choice in the style of wheels, lol.

[IRONDOG442]

Here they are

[[ion] C2]

^:lol:

For the record, I liked 14alero's old wheels.

[SittinOnChrome]

Most people who slam chrome rims cant afford them. People on here like those cheap ass 16 & 17 inch crap racing rims on thier aleros so you're going to get slammed. Who cares it's your car do what ya like

[Bad99Olds]

if you post ur shit on a car forum, especially this one, you had damn well better be prepared to take the good and the bad. this is where people express opinions. if you want a freaking peptalk to home to your mommy and nuzzle her teet. jesus. grow an effing pair.

[[ion] C2]

but everyone's supposed to like everything here

[Midgear]

if you post a picture or link and ask for opinions.. you're going to get it straight up. and dont expect them all to be pretty and nice.

its not the people that give honest opinions.. its the way people TAKE those opinions.. then get all pissed because -some- people out there have different tastes / opinions.

if you're looking for opinions on this board.. just expect the worst. if YOU like your idea anyways.. what the hell is stopping you from doing it?


EDIT: stock polished aluminium wheels ftw.

and pie.

[billytheman1188]

if you post a picture or link and ask for opinions.. you're going to get it straight up. and dont expect them all to be pretty and nice.

Thats what i love about aleromod.:lol:

[[ion] C2]

Haha this forum is nothing. On XceedSpeed, if you post anything about your car or any pictures, 95% will be negative comments. (Unless you own a Camaro, Mustang, SRT-4, BMW, etc.) It's a massive bitchfest all the time in every thread that's made there.

[Bad99Olds]

Thats what i love about aleromod.:lol:

u were just complaining about kwhauck bitch on the last page and now u say thats what u love about it? ::confused face::

[[ion] C2]

lol owned

however it does make for a nicer community when people who have negative opinions just don't post... >_>

[Midgear]

^^ good luck with that shit.

[Bad99Olds]

hahahahahah yea really. anybody got any pixie dust?

[14alero]

HaHa you guys are great

[billytheman1188]

u were just complaining about kwhauck bitch on the last page and now u say thats what u love about it? ::confused face::

Yeaaa, sometimes i need to vent;) But when a guy spends a lot of money on some lightweight wheels because he thinks its going to make a significant difference......i had to say something.

[Bad99Olds]

um it does... its simple physics, chris already made the point, lowering the weight of the rotational mass helps significantly

post 666 ftw

[[ion] C2]

it does... and he spent less than your big ol' chromies ($758), and his wheels look awesome. they look good, were at a reasonable price, but because they're lightweight what a waste of money... right


post 5433!

[billytheman1188]

I understand it helps some.....but how much power are you going to gain?

Personally, i dont like the wheels. And yea, i might have spent more but nothing looks better than some nice chrome wheels. IDK how the wheels will look on the car......they just have a weird design, and the tacky writing on the side doesnt help......

[Bad99Olds]

the lightweight wheels dont add hp, they allow you to more efficiently transfer the hp you do have to the ground, by allowing the wheels to encounter less resistance while rotating due to their lighter weight

[[ion] C2]

allows you to accel faster less weight to spin

[billytheman1188]

the lightweight wheels dont add hp, they allow you to more efficiently transfer the hp you do have to the ground, by allowing the wheels to encounter less resistance while rotating due to their lighter weight

Thank you for the obvious answer. i know the wheels dont PHYSICALLY add hp.

[Bad99Olds]

that too chris

[[ion] C2]

this too

[Bad99Olds]

^^?? lol

[jayson_waltz]

there can be a compromise. they do make good looking chrome rims, just seems not many people on here go for them. instead they go for the fugly "bling" ones

[14alero]

didnt trade those rims were beat

[kwhauck]

wow......this went from barely over 1 page at lunchtime to 4 pages just now........and the whole time i was reading this i was thinking what i should respond with, and it seem like every answered for me.......but just to rephrase everything, i like my lightweight rims, i got a good deal, and i don't appose chrome rims completely, i had a set of OSV and decided to get rid of them, i also really like billytheman's rims, as i stated a nice clean 5 spoke chrome rim, very nice looking.........as i previously stated........

BTW, i am currently looking for a nice 5 or 6 spoke chrome 22s for the bravada

[IRONDOG442]

Where did you get the OSV wheels ?

I know I didn't sell you a set and neither did Reed Schram, so the question remains where did you purchase a set ?

[TheMeaningOfLife]

screw all ya'll Eagle 077 betchs!!:lol: :lol:

[kwhauck]

i had a set, that i bought from shrams (this was like 2 years ago) i believe they were off the silhouette, i stripped the tires and sold them right away, held on to the wheels for awhile, then decided no and made a healthy profit, bought wheels and tires for 600, sold tires for 500 to local store, and sold rims to member for 1200.....

[14alero]

Ok here they are getting them tomorrow night all black these ar not mine on the auction but just a pic of what they look like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-motegi-black-sp10-4x100-4x4-5_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713Q2em153Q2el1262QQ categoryZ43958QQihZ006QQitemZ160285671883QQtcZphot o
