I find literal translations much more interesting than the accepted idiomatic equivalents. They provide a real window into the culture. The whole "lost in translation" thing is real.

That is why I had in engraved in the true Japaneses form but you are right. There are a lot of famous Japaneses proverbs that are great but lose meaning in translation

深い川は静かに流れる is actual idiom, just like 能ある鷹は爪を隠す is idiom. There are a ton of idiom in Japanese culture

I speak Hungarian natively which is also a unique language. This stuff is fascinating when you dig below the surface.

Can't wait to pick apart your second example tonight.

Don't do it. OEM's are lightish and they work good. You dont need wide as compound > width for traction. 225/45R/17 rubber is going to be cheaper then what you are looking at getting. Everyone does rims so be unique

Who said anything about going wider than 225?
