meh, not many people here have ever liked anything over an 18 and that will probably never change, but I honestly don't understand all the harshness on the 20+ crowd, I guess their jealous because they can't afford tires bigger than 18" . Seems like quite a few douche's like Nightmare have popped up recently, and I guess everyone will have to ignore them like we did Ben when he was still here.

As far as the racist shit, Flip and the Mods have got it under control.

i say rims should only be as big as they have to to clear the brakes. thats why i bought some 17" rims. my snow flakes had clearance issues with the 12" F-bodies for some reason


but thats only my opinion i have seen some 20's that look good but they are few

Funny how you single out the one who actually has the balls to speak up. So the all the other people in this thread who agreed with me and told the guy how wrong he was for calling everyone's ride boring because they didn't want to waste money on rims, guess you just neglected to single them out, too, huh? Maybe this "harshness" you speak of has something to do with the 5 threads that popped up at the same time, ALL having to do with rims. Not to mention the OP blatantly calling everyone who doesnt agree with him "boring" and "ordinary." one or two people making a new post about the same thing, that's understandable, it happens....but come on man. it's gone beyond "coincidence" at this point. Looks more like somebody got butthurt, send a PM to about 3 of his other rim-lovin buddies, and they decided to have a troll-fest on GPONA.

Oh, and all these "racist" remarks....these terms that have been used that you guys consider "racist" are all words that have been introduced thanks to this gangsta-culture shit. "donks" "flossin"....need I go on? And what do you think rolling around on donks and bumping your JL 12's as loud as you can does? PERPETUATES these racial stereotypes. So, please, keep digging your own hole. I never once said ni*ger, never made a black comment, and Im well aware that there are PLENTY of white guys who are into the hip-hop culture thing. To each his own, I guess it worked for Eminem. Matter of fact i have complained a few times times in this thread whan a racist remark was made, so dont even go there Milestone. Has nothing to do with racism, its called "personal preference". Yeah, i agree, racist remarks were made, but not by me. so back off, i simply told the guy to go start shit somewhere else. if you honestly think the OP's thread was harmless then youre more naive than I gave you credit for

Really? Do i need to refer you to the Ugly Car/Ricer thread on this forum where you have contributed multiple times to flaming other peoples choice in appearance mods? And that makes you any better than me because they're not members on here to see the shit youre talking about them?And by the way, I didn't just "pop up" recently, sparky. Might wanna check my join date. Up to this point ive kept to myself and have had the luxury of ignoring stupid shit like this, and avoiding the Ricer/Ugly Car part of the forum which might ignite my intense dislike for those kinds of appearance mods. but sometimes i guess the situation just presents itself, so excuse us for standing up for what we believe in. Of course, I wouldnt expect someone like you to understand being pro-active, not when you can sit back and let your money do all the talking for you.....not when youre so much better than everyone else who has to pay rent or insurance, or spend money on something LOGICAL. Huh, big man? What the hell was I thinking? Yeah, please, feel free to ignore me. tell ya what, just keep my name out your mouth altogether

First off, if you re-read my post I never said that you made a racist comment. I see you must not be that good at reading and comprehension. I pointed out how you are trying to go off on someone and telling them to get off this forum about making a post. Naive... far from it. Just cause you don't like how someone else decides to modd there car does not give you the authority to bash them and then throw every sterotype in the book at them. What's funny is how you are trying to defend your ignorance by saying we introduced these racist terminology in our hip hop culture. Well here is alittle history lesson the "N" word was not introduced by a rapper, it was a name given by slave owners in order to degrade my people. I really don't think you want to go there. Also everytime I open up a appearance post I usually see the same things on different cars. Everyone is running either bullets, or KV5s, and most of them even have the same size tires. After awhile most of them starts to look the same, so yeah we could do with a little variety.

i fail to see how vinyl graphics, stick on ports, chicken wings and fart cans has anything to do with wheel diameter.... unless your rolling on extreme offset deep dish 13's. "Ricer" mod's enhance neither performance or appearance, now that's stupid.

some folks view appearance as more important than performance, to rail someone because they would rather bolt on 24's then go fast is kinda dumb, just agree to disagree and move on.

and yes, your a douche.....carry on.

I'm in agreement with Nightmare on this one. This was not a random thread started by a random person. This was put here intentionally, as were the others.. and if you guys can't see it.. you're all f*ckin retarded...

And Milestone - I think what he was trying to say with the terminology in the hip hop culture is that they made it no longer offensive, they changed the meaning of it, switch the R with a A, and we're all good.. And the stereotypes have been set in place.. and they're going to stay there, and you know it. If I see a donk rollin down the street, I immediately think, black dude that's makin a lot of money.. or a wigger living off his parents.. Depending on where you live, a lot of people would thing it's a G-Banger rollin thru. But I live in WI.. and c'mon now. If anyone living in WI thinks they're a G-Banger.. they're f*ckin retarded too..

_________________

^nice to see that someone will speak up Thanks Tyler. i'm sure that the rest of you guys know better, you're just taking the high road and giving the OP the benefit of the doubt. good for you

But Milestone, youre way off man. you know why I said what I said, and it had nothing to do with racism. You guys are completely missing the whole point of my post to begin with, the OP could slap gold spinners on there for all i care. The guy came over here to stir up shit, plain and simple. Hence why he's posted maybe twice in this 3+ pages worth of thread HE created. that says a lot to me, but maybe im just a judgemental asshole. but hey, at least im not the one having a racial identity crisis, eh fruitloop? how's that bling treating ya, snowflake?? whatever. either way, i had NO intention of insulting you or "your people", as you call it Milestone. I am well aware of where the word nig*er came from, im white remember? It was shamefully "my" people who came up with it, and I cant begin to imagine the feelings of hatred and oppression that word evokes in you. For whatever it's worth, I'm sorry man. What I was trying to say is that these terms and slurs are quite often glorified, if not encouraged, by the rap/hip-hop entertainment and music culture and to say that these terms haven't been associated with a certain type of demographic in society(i.e. gangsta-wannabees and mommas-boy wiggas[Malibu's Most Wanted comes to mind] as Tyler stated) is just wrong. I can't speak for the intentions of anyone else, but i was certainly not trying to be a backwoods sister-fukking racist prick. But please explain to me why it has to be this whole "my people" thing all the time? Are we not the same species? I would think that kind of attitude would be a tad racist in itself, but i guess it will always be there. anyway, im done contributing to this pissing match, this thread has gone way off topic

......Still don't like big rims on a GP. Sorry, I apologise for getting back on track!

Are you guys through with your handbags now??????

Around here the "race card" no longer works. It's done and over.

And Gaz - It's called a satchel, thank you very much. Indiana Jones wore one...

I saw my first one in person today. Just north of Tampa I spotted a Bleen GP with 22's on it at a gas station. About 6 skinny thug'd out white guys were crowded around it like it was the best thing since sliced bread. I was wishing I had the GP so I could show them what was up, but I was sporting a Hemi 300C on vacation.

Damn this thread has gone way off-topic. As Tyler said, the race card no longer works. And, although I didn't agree with how nightmare went about in his first post, he does have a point. The hip-hop culture has pretty much thrown out anything that has to do with racism. This thread did come up the same time, and it is of no coincidence. (No Tyler, I am not one of the retarded ones )

fruitloop, you need to re-read what you just wrote 'cause you just stuck your foot in your mouth.

"i fail to see how vinyl graphics, stick on ports, chicken wings and fart cans has anything to do with wheel diameter.... unless your rolling on extreme offset deep dish 13's. "Ricer" mod's enhance neither performance or appearance, now that's stupid.

So, by your comment, you're agreeing to bash the ricer's because you think it's "stupid", yet in their minds those "vinyl graphics, stick on ports, chicken wings and fart cans" make the appearance on their cars looks good. Just as those who wish to put 4's on theirs think they look good, only those 4's will do much more harm to a vehicle than what you used in example for ricers. So, as you say, "just agree to disagree and move on."

What... I don't think I've ever seen chicken wings on a car. Am I missing something?

I guess it all boils down to personal preference, I like big rims (in proportion to the vehicle they're on).

I don't like the typical "ricer" mods

and that's MY opinion.

LOL!

I watch this thread everyday & its getting way off topic..

Alot of members want a big rim forum but I dont see why?? Wheels are wheels so I dont understand the problem. People will love them & hate them. I understand everyone doesnt like the samething but if that was the case all our cars would look alike. Bring race into this is not right & the comments are not right.

If I see the "N" word anywhere on this site that member will NOT be here anymore. I have not locked this thread because I think we have great members that will work through this 20+ rim stuff & it will go away so when someone else post their 20s it wont be a big deal.

damn,, what I miss?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like those Asantis wheels on the GXP, but you should have went with the 3" lip all around instead of the just the rears. Looks RA---tarded...

So what if example....

black guy say "n" word to other black guy like yo n... nice ride! Diggzz your big rim.. What sizez is that? 26?

Are they allowed to say that? lol

I have classmate who is black. We have been friends since 1996. He talk like black people but I'm cool with that. He knew me very well. Sometimes, I say "what's up n..." It doesn't hurt his feeling. He knew I'm playing. He response me back what's up white fool. lol

Kind suck for racist stuff. That's sooo 1970 or whenever. It seems no one move on and be friend each other. Guess that's life that racist still exist.

_________________

I never liked the "N" word. It even offends me when black people say it to one another. It gives off the wrong impression it's like people forgot what the original meaning of this word is. So I appologize if I overracted.

What it all boils down to is that most people on this site want to see Grand Prixs modified in both performance and appearance tastefully. Don't expect people to accept your car if it looks like crap. We here on GPONA tell the truth no matter how much it hurts. If your girlfriend is ugly we will tell you and the same goes with your car.


AND BOOM GOES THE DYNOMITE

I suggest you shouldn't go to the site "stuntworldusa.net" then, where the OP hangs out. I did a bit of looking around and saw no negative things stated about Gpona thankfully. The N-word however is stated more than once in all the threads I've looked at with "grand prix" in it.

No offense, but I personally think it should start to be forgotten about where it came from.. Times change, things are different now. As I like to say.. people need to get over it, and move on. I'm sure in lots of parts of the country there is still black vs. white areas, but those parts of the country are best left in the dust anyway.
