Aftermarket

Aftermarket wheels are trash and loved by ricer morons. A tell tale sign of low IQ.
What's his name, what wheels and ride did he have, and what will it take for you to forgive him for stealing away your girl?
Dont be a hater, dont judge others. Just worry about yourself kid.
Depends what you get, co-worker was running RPF01 for track days and they got bent from all the cornering.
He's using Gram Lights now.
This. Guy got cheated on by someone with sweet rimz
You are literally retarded and know nothing about metal forming.
Yep. HRE master race
>implying brembo bbks fit under my stock 17s
was so close.
I felt the same way OP. Until I saw these gold wheels on this Golf literally two days ago on CL.
Stupid fuck isn't selling the car with the wheels. I almost want to pay him 2k just for his wheels holy fuck they look so good on this.
Fuuuck
The cracked and scratched hubcaps on my Pulsar certainly look amazing.
Enjoy your heavy, weak cast wheels poorfag.
kosei k1's and enkei RPF1s are tasteful and look good on basically any japanese car
I've never seen a stock alloy that wasn't forged.
Aftermarket wheels are typically cast.
Glad you like it, to me the wheels are obviously too large. It's also a shite photo.
when no wheel for your car fits 305s
Name one car that C4 salad shooters don't look sexy on.
>protip: impossibru
I have TSW Mirabeaus on my Accord, given to me for free.
They're 19s and as light as the stock 17s, and they sure as hell look better than the stock wheels.
False.
>he doesn't know OEM wheels are mass produced by aftermarket wheel companies
Those are shite
>Rebuilding DA9 Integra
>Car came with one steely, 2 salad shooter 14's, and one GS-R 7 spoke wheel.
>Said fuck it and ordered some Enkeis in 15's so I could run a tire that wasn't a donut.
Don't tell him that Enkei and BBK make OEM wheels for tons of companies, his head will explode.
t. can't afford new wheels
>Tfw stock 19" enkeis
>OP is naive enough to actually think car brands manufacture everything that goes on a car
I'm about to blow your mind. All AC compressors in cars are sourced from other companies among a lot of other things.
>made for the car
Means nothing
>usually very aesthetic
Name 5 sports cars that look good with stock wheels. I'll wait.
>very durable
This is usually true, but nothing prevents a good aftermarket wheel from being durable as well
>specific for the chassis
Uh, wheel dimensions are standardized, if something has the same bolt pattern and center vote, and is the correct diameter and width to fit it'll fit.
>almost always gaudy
Good thing there's plenty of choices of not shit ones as well.
>wheels
>rice taxed
>it is literally impossible to make both a lightermans stronger wheel
>ergonomics
>how the human body relates to the car
>having anything to do with wheels
>look out of place on older cars
You are aware there's more than just pep boys to buy wheels from right?
Weird, I've heard nothing but good things about Enkei wheels.
You have shit taste. They'd be way better smaller and in a different color.
>Good thing there's plenty of choices of not shit ones as well.
Wrong, any wheel that doesn't look like ass is available at the smallest in 17". Which is fucking trash. I would understand not offering 14" wheels. But why the fuck can't I buy a 15" or 16" aftermarket wheel that doesn't look like it belongs on a rat rod?
What car do you have and what type of wheel do you want?
man, nothing like radial tas on a spray paint black f/g body. takes me back.
