M325is 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 hey mate, by saying that and i quote " people who like chrome wheels are the ones who like putting a gold or silver wedge between their front teeth, tacky". Aren't you being a bit impolite, id just say that there's so many people n everyone have there own way of saying and liking things, i guess we should keep our comments to our selves rather than getting all stressed about it and coming up with all sort of things. Sorry if you have a wedge dude but i'm just stating my opinion. Kinda the same as when a fat chick asks if her bum looks big in her new outfit... I'd say yes! Positive criticism Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) It's not so bad seeing a tidy BMW/Cars in General, with big chromes, it's worse when you see a rooted heap of sh*t, filled with dings, rust and primer patches, with the biggest rims ever included. Oh, and I forgot the 10" FartCannon Edited May 16, 2009 by antil33t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Chrome looks hot on the right rims. And right car for that matter. Exactly as a lot of people have said, Its all in the design of the wheel. And 95% of the time the design is horribly tacky. I'm all for the each to their own thing. People can do whatever they want with whatever they have. Although I cringe when I see a stock standard e36 316 sedan dragging its ass on the ground lowered on 19" chromes. Its not cool IMO. Looks soo tacky, looks soo cheap, looks so wannabe. I am 17 and I'm soo f**kin happy I not going through the chromie lowering phase! And to be honest, I laugh when I see one roll past. I find it quite amusing. EACH TO THEIR OWN. Thats so right Nick...you'r nearly 50 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 I wish spinners had been more popular. You never see them now. And I don't mean hubcap ones either. I mean the real deal. Also love those LED rims. I wouldn't put them on my ride, but they are cool. Phases are normal. My old e30 had blue under-car neons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first e30 325i coupe I bought of this guy had a button up where the hazard lights buttons are, Didn't know what it did (flicked it a few times trying to see what it did) and had no idea my car had green neons underneath until i was driving one night and someone told me my neons are gay lol.

Lucan 196 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 Haha these threads always are good for a laugh Like somebody said earlier, people are going to put things in or on their car that make them attractive to people of their own age group "coolness factor" if you dont like something, you're pbably not intended to be the car owners target group (or groupie) haha Speaking of time attack i was thinking about putting a pinstripe around the lip of my rims haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
