they look sick especially the blue ones. the big rims look allot better on the 04+ the last look out of place.

Interesting cars. Some good and some bad. I think you are looking attention to become "hate" thread.

I saw that GXP somewhere before.. FL maybe..

I'm digging some of those. I like the big rims, but new cars don't look good donked. You guys should get some rims with better offsets and lower those things!

paint on the GXP looks pretty damn good.

but honestly, the offset rears on a FWD vehicle is nothing short of hysterical.

You say this isnt a DUB Forum, wtf does that mean?? i can post whatever the kcuf i wanna post on here as long as its a Grand Prix, how the kcuf u gon tell me that my style aint welcome, u aint the f*c*in owner or spokesperson for this site, so kcuf your opinion, i post what I want to, thanks!!!!

And to reply on your comment about the last post: if u look at the times, then u will clearly see that i made this thread first, I had not even seen theother thread yet, im rarely even on this site. And i only replied on the other thread bcuz of the racist remarks that I read, i can accept anyones opinions but was it really that serious for all the extra "American" remarks?? NOW THAT WAS CHILDISH IF U ASK ME!!!

So because most of us on this forum are SMART and realize adding big ass rims to a GP will only hurt the car in the long run (i.e. tranny amongst other problems) makes them "boring"? Come on bro, use some sense you seem like you may have just a lil. Yeah some of these cars may be "boring", like mine for example. I have an '04 GT bone stock with HID's and tint. Boring, maybe. But, I'll guarantee my tranny will last a hell of a lot longer than those of the pics you posted. You have to realize GP's aren't made for big ass rims, they're performance cars (although 4 door sedans, I know kind of an odd combo). Would you throw 4's on a Chevelle? Nah, you probably wouldn't. But, if you consider some of these cars "boring", let's take for instance VictorSmalls, you've got to be out of your mind. Dude's car looks sick as hell, and would wax any of the cars you posted in while ridin' in reverse (maybe a little far stretched, but you should get the point). Boring? Hardly not. Just my .02, and if you wanna come at me with "kcuf your opinion" as you did with Nightmare, then you should really read up on what forums are all about. Everybody has their own opinions, you posted yours, and as you can tell 99% of us are against big ass rims. Just because two opinions don't match, doesn't automatically make one person right or wrong. As I said, some of us just use logic over what may look "dope" in the hood. (And you really shouldn't take that as offensive, if you do then maybe you have some type of issue?).

Now, in no way am I tryin' to start shit, and personally I didn't agree with what Nightmare had previously posted. He definitely went about it the wrong way, and I don't think that should reflect the rest of us on this forum. But, once again, everybody speaks out differently. Nobody should get their panties in a bunch over any message forum, whether it be here, WSHH, myspace, etc. you get my point.

I have been reading the comments and let me tell you that a lot of you guys are very immature!!! If the guy has 24's on his car the last thing he is going to worry about is his transmission!! If he is rolling on ASANTIS he must have the money to buy a new transmission if it brakes down. A lot of you guys need to start respecting the way other people customize their GP's even though some times it does not look good!! All the people in this forum have different tastes for their cars and they are just trying to show it off to other people that have the same taste, so if you don't like it then don't bother to comment or respond and problem solved. (by the way I like those expensive wheels but smaller )
After all who is spending the money you or them???????

Once again, when there is a post made, there will be comments. Whether it be here or anywhere else, you'll always have comments. Now, how people take those comments is on them. If you're going to get all heartbroken over words on a forum, then maybe you (not YOU, speaking generally) shouldn't be posting on forums. And let me enlighten thee, just because you have money for rims, don't mean you have money to fix a trans. If you want top resale value out of your car when/if you decide to get rid of it, you'll take GOOD care of your car. Just because you keep your car clean, or have big rims, doesn't up the value of the car. It DECREASES because of the stress big rims put on your tranny. Which is all we try to enlighten those who are thinking about, or have put on, big rims. And we don't "need" to respect what people do to their cars. Sure, it'd be the PROPER thing to do. But no everybody looks at it that way. I say to each their own, doesn't mean I'll respect them for it, or give them props. And just because you have ASANTIS, doesn't always mean you paid top dollar for them, or even paid for them at all (not eluding to anything here, just saying it's a possibility).

Maybe Flip or another admin can make a separate section for those who wish to have big rims, and maybe that would keep the flaming to a minimum. But when you post in a general area, more than likely there will be flaming (as you can see).

as far as those vehicles go, that blue gxp is the only one that looks 'kinda' cool to me. IMO, the other ones look ridiculous. gp's are supposed to be simple. if you want something flashy, get a bmw or 350z or a G35. i just think its crazy when you try to do too much to a grocery grabber...

disclaimer: all words typed in this message were not intended to offend anyone.

^i think i might use that in my sig from now on so that people stop complaining...

Expensive rims they may be, but just don't do it for me, guys.

Personally, I'd have spent the money on performance mods, with wheels to suit the mods. Big wheels just make the car look out of proportion to me!!

Barf, I usually don't care for any wheel over an 18.

And to the OP, don't get all pissy when someone posts up that they don't like big wheels then call their cars "boring." Keep in mind that MOST of the people on this forum have performance in mind when building their car. I guess I'm the owner of a boring car to.

LOL!!! OK, let me put it this way "Let them do what ever the HELL they want with their cars". You don't have to respect nobody,you can post all the bad comments you want but what do you get out of that?? Criticism is acceptable but some people take it to the extreme!!! To me that is very funny and cool because you guys make me laugh!! I don't understand why some people here try to set the standards for the looks on these cars. Just because you have more mods then everybody that does not mean you can dictate how our cars should look or be modified!

Anyways, to me this is a joke and I am done talking about this topic! I will shut up I don't want people to get offended or something!! lol

Criticism is only as extreme as you make it to be. Most of us do constructive criticism, but I guess we have to start disclosing that in order for nobody to take offense. You say you don't understand why people "try to set standards" on our cars, then what do you call your opinions? If we looked at it from your point of view, then YOU are setting standards yourself.

"Just because you have more mods then everybody that does not mean you can dictate how our cars should look or be modified!"

At what point was any of this mentioned? That is an assumption, unless somebody on here directly stated they have more mods, so they are dictating what is acceptable/not acceptable. As I stated, I have a plain as day GP GT. No engine mods outside of a drop in K&N, and I have 12000k HIDs. So, IF you are referring to me dictating because of my mods (and I say this because you directly quoted me), you are sadly mistaken.

"Anyways, to me this is a joke and I am done talking about this topic! I will shut up I don't want people to get offended or something!! lol"

If it's such a joke, why waste your time with a response? Maybe you took some offense? If you prefer to donk out your GP, more power to ya. But don't expect anybody to not flame on ya when you're wondering and asking a question on this board "I blew my tranny and I don't know why? My only mods are 24" rims."

I agree. I think it is like 3 or 4 threads about huge rims flame. It has been like 2 weeks?

I'm not fan of big rims on small car. I don't need talk shit about that. Just vomit and don't say anything. It works for me.

It's his car let him do what he chooses with it. I understand that we all havee different taste it is cool not to like it and say so. But reading how some of you are responding to these post make me not want to come on this site no more. I'm black, and alot of these post to these threads are borderline racist remarks. That's why, even though it I might not like how it looks, I still defend these guys for being different. Not everyone wants a race car.

-- Sun Mar 07, 2010 8:27 am --




I mean really is all this necessary?? And what really gets me is when the guy defends himself from a post like this everyone else on this forum attacks him, and defends this guy. How do you defend a post like this?? If this forum is all performance, then why do we have an apperance section??

_________________

Come on guys, They deserve to post whatever they want just like the rest of us. We can single them out because they like the look of the big wheels. I don't care for the look, But they do and we should accept that for what it is.
