Dude, I've liked your rims, and I think that yes, you should do what you want, but people here hatin' on someone because they don't want/need/can afford some crazy expensive rims is ridiculous.

Not everyone can afford them.
Not everyone wants the downside of owning them - theft, damage, etc.
Not everyone with money - and I have plenty - wants to put parts on to brag.

Your tC is clean.
That's cool.
Just don't knock others here folks.
I don't see any criteria at the beginning of this thread telling people what makes a rare rim, so give a little slack folks.

the only reason i'm "hating" on anyone is because they can't follow directions, i have no problem with people buying crappy wheels if they want to, its not my car so thats the end of it. i understand people don't want to deal with crazy ___ wheels that cost a fortune (thats why mine are off 300/365 days a year) the point is people should not be posting wheels in here that don't classify them as the title. thats all i'm saying, if they want to go out and buy 500 dollar rims and have them bend thats fine, all i'm trying to do is keep people straight.

I didn't mean to single you out here.
But...
If there were serious rules about what to post, they should have been stated at the beginning so people understand.
There's tons of wheels I've never seen, so to me, maybe they are rare.
In reality, maybe not...

Ben wasn't the original poster though. Some other dude was. He probably wasn't aware this thread was going to turn into this mess anyway. Best thing we could do would get the mods to lock this one and start a fresh new thread with everything outlined.

STFU. While some of those might cost a lot, there's a lot of them that don't.
And that's not a rule tool, it's four examples.
Aside from one or two here, none of YOU even have rare rims so what are YOU posting here for?

be quiet. While some of those might cost a lot, there's a lot of them that don't.

Does it matter where I post? Who says I'm not getting a set of expensive wheels anyway? At least I can appreciate rare/custom/expensive wheels.

In the words of my friends at High End: "Do it right or not at all."


SciontCya, if you don't have anything intelligent to add to this conversation other than "insulting" a 12 year old, I suggest you leave and go bug other people. Just don't come in here telling people what they can and cannot do with their own money and picking on kids (which makes you look very immature by the way).

I'm sorry...my Works VS-XX very much belong on this thread...if you look...its the first brand 05mftc mention....You don't even know what rare or expensive rims are...




Also...I'm sorry that I can afford this wheels and you can only hate on me because I have them....

i think $500/wheel is a little steep, for the tC. $300/wheel is a good starting point for a car like the tC. that said it can boil down to company; konig, motegi and sportmaxx, don't belong in here--no if, and's or but's about it.

if it was 500/wheel then this thread would be so dead.

I was actually going off what Ben said earlier. In fact, he even said $700 ea., but I toned it down to $500. But that's still true what you said.
