Got these golden alloy today... the car now picks up so quick it feels like a performance ride!

15" taiwanese made one-piece alloy, i paid USD$550 for them and a new set of Goodyear SL (185/55)... wheel balanced and labour included... what a deal.

brassplayersrock² · Oct 11, 2007, 01:45 PM

why?

G4ME · Oct 11, 2007, 02:01 PM

ohhhh god

Sealobo · Oct 11, 2007, 02:09 PM

Why what?!

analogika · Oct 11, 2007, 02:24 PM

The rims are actually nice, I'm surprised to say.

The car, however, is...um...stunning.

I can see why you'd want to have it in stealth black.

lol~ it's my grocery beater... what can i say...

we have some sort of a one-box jap car culture on this side of the planet... they have roomy interior, excellent fuel economy and strange style.

Another stunning shot for your viewing pleasure...

I hereby dub your car "Manga Hearse".

Well, you *did* bother to put $550 into golden rims on your "grocery beater"...and to tell us about it...

Looks like it...it's similar to the US's Scion xB. There's a new one that lives about a block from my house.

Art Vandelay · Oct 11, 2007, 06:15 PM

The xB and the bB used to be the same car. Now the new xB is on its own platform and shares nothing with the new bB. It is also much larger than the bB now.

Isn't there supposed to be a little center cap thingy?

(this is as "technical" as I get)

brassplayersrock² · Oct 11, 2007, 07:28 PM

you mean the gizmo that goes in the middle of the flashy gold things? yeah thats called a center gizmo

richwig83 · Oct 11, 2007, 08:25 PM

damn thats ugly... and those rims are way to small to look even remotely cool... 550USD is really cheap but.

Ohh yeah and they really do need a centre gizmo.... bare bolts are the pits!!!!

17" plus..... thats where its at

Laminar · Oct 11, 2007, 09:41 PM

Centercaps wouldn't cover the bolts, just the hole in the middle.

turtle777 · Oct 12, 2007, 12:33 AM

Aaaaarrgh. Now I'm blind. Darn you

-t

Sealobo · Oct 12, 2007, 12:46 AM

Thanks for the reminder... i am so gonna get a set of BBS center caps... haha.

brassplayersrock² · Oct 12, 2007, 01:14 AM

while you're spending, may I suggest that you get spinners as well

iMOTOR · Oct 12, 2007, 02:33 AM

olePigeon · Oct 12, 2007, 12:20 PM

You need neon lights on the botton, and some Jersey chick dancing in the passenger seat.

BadKosh · Oct 12, 2007, 01:20 PM

Is it RC or just a static or battery powered toy?

moonmonkey · Oct 12, 2007, 11:43 PM

I wondered who's car that was.
If you are the guy who used to own a porsche I know where you live.

O really?... where?

brassplayersrock² · Oct 13, 2007, 01:48 PM

you never answered my question Sealobo

Sealobo · Oct 13, 2007, 03:28 PM

What exactly did you ask?!

brassplayersrock² · Oct 13, 2007, 05:17 PM

why?

Sealobo · Oct 13, 2007, 05:34 PM

guess i will have to ignore you this time... yeah... i mean, next time.

brassplayersrock² · Oct 13, 2007, 05:37 PM

okay? i asked why. some people might go on and explain why they did what they did.

Sealobo · Oct 13, 2007, 05:51 PM

apparently you failed to observe the thread title and the first line of my first post.

are you not smart enough?

He said why he got them in his first sentence.

That's probably just too obvious for bpr.

Think Sealob will get an apology for his insinuating that he would edit his post? Should we be quoting bpr now?

Railroader · Oct 13, 2007, 09:16 PM

On Topic, I think ti looks nice Sealobo. And if it improved performance, who cares how it looks.

brassplayersrock² · Oct 13, 2007, 09:59 PM

k, other then them being cheap, why did he choose them. there, i showed that i noticed one reason why he got them (which i have since reading the post the first time), and asked a question that should be more obvious of a reason why i want to know why he got them.

Here Alex, I'll help you. Here's the first sentence of the thread:

Did that help? Otherwise I got nothing for ya.

Ready to apologize or admit you're not smart enough?

brassplayersrock² · Oct 13, 2007, 10:21 PM

having a bad day rr? need a hug?

Nope, quite a good day actually. Met a lot of cool new people, ate some interesting food. Don't project your experiences onto my life ok?

It takes a man to admit when he's wrong. I guess we know where you are in life.

brassplayersrock² · 11:01 PM

i could easily say **** you rr, but i won't. I'm cool like that. I asked a question a second time and the op replied rudely. no need to apologize or say that i am wrong.

also, rr, I'm sure you want things here to be civil, but you dont need to waste your time by going after me for being a jerk when the op was in the first place.

have a good night rr

Actually you just said that. So you're not cool.

The OP was wondering what exactly you were asking since he said why he bought them in the first post but you kept replying with "why?". Writing a proper sentence helps.

"He was a jerk first!". Sheesh. Act your age.

Doofy · Oct 14, 2007, 12:02 AM

Sorry guys but

isn't actually an answer. The car now picks up better. So did Sealobo buy the wheels specifically for this purpose or did he buy them 'coz he thought they looked nice and the performance is just an unexpected side-effect?

Of course, there's no real reason why Sealobo has to have a reason to buy new wheels other than "because he wants to and he can". Just pointing out that the first line is not an answer to Alex's question.

You did. No, you are not.

You need to apologize for accusing him of possibly changing his post. That's rude. Note: you did change your post. That's hypocritical.

Look in the mirror dude. You were a jerk to him by continually asking him "why?". He asked you what you meant by "why?" and you simply repeated your "why?" question. That's rude. YOU were the first one being a jerk in the thread.

I think it is a sufficient answer to the "why?" question. Actually, it is a preemptive to the question.

However, "why?" has no meaning and is clearly indecipherable. "why?" what?!?! An intellegent question would be "Why did you buy those rims?".

brassplayersrock² · Oct 14, 2007, 02:51 PM

thats good to hear you had a good night rr. were you able to try the other type of Cassava dishes that I suggested in your food thread?

It's too bad you won't step up to the plate and apologize to Sealobo.

Sealobo · Oct 14, 2007, 03:41 PM

nah... no apology is needed; why ruin a totally good thread? and it's not like if brass would tell everybody if he's smart enough anyway... lol.

i will soon post pix of my newly acquired center caps... they aren't even cheap this time; they're free!

That's cool. Just watching your back.

Free is the best price

IceEnclosure · Oct 14, 2007, 06:19 PM

aren't center caps just adding weight? not much but they are purely cosmetic. Those exact wheels are fairly popular in the states as well. Branded as SSR, what are yours? Also, you gots a nice boxster ya? Screw the haters!

You're still responsible for your actions. That includes taking the appropriate medication and refraining from activities that might cause it to surface.

Just slink away like jerks always do. You're just making a fool of yourself by not owning up to your mistake.
