Am I the only one who doesn't think it looks that bad?

Would love to see these in 17's

One of the Jalopnik comments said those rims look like whales' anuses. I LOL'd.

humdizzle 05-05-2015 02:05 AM

Not a fan of oversized wheels or the whole cambered stance thing. Not of fan of things that make performance worse in general.

But to each their own. It's ur car. Do what makes YOU happy.

That depends. Are you the owner?

Reminds me of some guys at work that own 2nd hand bimmers with huge staggered chrome rims and really low profile tires. And somehow they pay a lot of money for those 30lb + monstrosities. It goes with the big gold chain and the stupid Nike Air shoes with the laces open.

chaoskaze 05-05-2015 02:21 AM

Wut the.........I was like ???? then I saw the wheel...... Damn it need to wash my eyes.

Wise 05-05-2015 02:29 AM

Adding heaps of unsprung weight? Check

Ugly as fuck? Check

Shitty fitment and oversized? Check

Congrats to whoever owns this. You just hit the hat trick of shitty wheel choices.

Do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't hurt other people.

I'm sorry but those chrome wheels hurt my feels and assail my eyes.

Veloist 05-05-2015 04:42 AM

I don't see anything. That FR-S looks bone stock.

EDIT: Nvm I was looking at the one in the far right.

Kimsey47 05-05-2015 08:25 AM

I'm assuming it was parked in the woods hoping it WOULD NOT be visible to the public... FAIL.

soulreapersteve 05-05-2015 09:11 AM

Do those spin when the car is in motion?

Tcoat 05-05-2015 09:23 AM

They are just rims for crying out loud. Bizarre ones yes, but still just rims.

A. Wins the award for worst wheels I've seen on our platform thus far.

B. Anyone notice in the background far right there is another white twin?

fang_gt86 05-05-2015 10:27 AM

I have noticed that the white ones tend to travel in packs. Never seem to see just one.

They're probably "lease to own" wheels from some place where "your job is your credit." Those places usually lease the tires too and charge the customers four times what they would pay for the same rubber at WalMart.

No worries. If you get behind on your payments, you can always go get a payday loan.

G-awesome 05-05-2015 12:53 PM

ballin. not.

The one in the background belongs to a buddy of mine. It's actually pretty nice, sitting on coilovers and Ambit RS18 wheels. We had a laugh about it, since he made it onto Jalopnik, but for the wrong reasons. :lol:

But please kindly do it with Civic or Dodge Neon and leave our beautiful 86's alone.

You have to put that statement into perspective. One can do whatever they want to their car, but others can have whatever opinion they want of it.

Of course. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions.

daiheadjai 05-05-2015 02:25 PM

Rimshots all around

Tromatic 05-05-2015 03:59 PM

Been waiting for a Donk to show. Not quite there yet.

continuecrushing 05-05-2015 04:07 PM

I had it parked in the forest to prevent people from seeing it until it was done

Heh. Not around here when it's not praise for some rolling clown-car.

KalbiCool88 05-05-2015 04:39 PM

Nazi's loved wheels, so that may not be the best term. "Wheel Fascist" may be more appropriate. And it's not about the wheels themselves, it's the overall look. The wheels may be "nice" by definition, but it makes the car look like ass as a whole. Like has been said, we all more than support the effort to do whatever, we also reserve the right to point and laugh at the result. Appearance is totally subjective, but somethings are just nasty regardless.

ETA: WTF has happened to Jalopnik? It's become the DU of cars.

svtfever 05-05-2015 06:48 PM

looks awesome........ I mean... WTF, WHY DO PPL DO THIS CRAP. to me it destroys the cars looks and purpose

fang_gt86 05-06-2015 10:42 AM

Four posts of stock wheels are up for grab on CL.. Ghetto wheels are here to stay whether we like it or not! Lol

My ex lived in a sketchy part of the city and it was a given that I would see these rims at least 3 times taking her home.
