Decision Decision
 
Well hopefully my wheels with sell soon....in the for sale forum for all you who didn't know I was selling them. I have a decision to make. I'm so stuck between three things and need some opinions. Here is what i can do.

A. Buy my same wheels in 19" and get either the Alpine IVA-D310 7" Flipout/Pioneer AVIC-N2

B. Buy Work Emotion CR Kai Gunmetal in 18" and buy the Alpine IVA-D310 and the Pioneer is out because its more than the Alpine

C. Buy the 18" Volk GT-7's in either Gunmetal or Black with polished lips. And nothing else and have about $250 left over.

Let me know what you think guys.

Al Gore FTW 12-16-2005 01:31 AM

i'd go with B.

dirtySAMURAI 12-16-2005 01:39 AM

B as well.

boricua_civic 12-16-2005 01:54 AM

Just stay with your wheels, no need for you to change them, they look perfect.

project: EM2k4 12-16-2005 01:55 AM

I would also go with plan B... u get 2 things instead of 1, hahaha

mugenman 12-16-2005 01:56 AM

ive told you once and imgonna tell you again. go with the volks and give me the extra 250 lol

drew22mader 12-16-2005 02:06 AM

The only thing about the Work Emotions is they are flat gunmetal and very dark with no shine to them at all. The Volks look nice and will have Wilwood BBK behind them.

Get the volks and just save money to get the indash. you don't need to buy everything at once

drew22mader 12-16-2005 02:28 AM

Here is the Work

project: EM2k4 12-16-2005 02:41 AM

Those volks look hot... alot better than the works IMO, I would go with the black volks instead of gunmetal if u decide to go with plan C.... The black rims stand out more with the diamond cut lip.

D5cIvIc 12-16-2005 02:45 AM

the last pic with the WORKS looks freaking nice man

HonCivX02 12-16-2005 03:38 AM

kRzYEM2 12-16-2005 04:02 AM

cant go wrong with volks or works... dont get the same rims

disturbed24st 12-16-2005 06:27 AM

02civic_rida 12-16-2005 09:21 AM

i didnt know u work thinkin about going with works! DOOOOOOOOO IT!!!!!!!!!! works own teh hell out of me! soo sex mang ;)

WKHCivic 12-16-2005 10:12 AM

go for the works they look hot..but i like the rims you have now personally

gearbox 12-16-2005 10:47 AM

last pic looks awesome. i would go option B for sure.

goodtimes 12-16-2005 10:49 AM

go with works

drew22mader 12-16-2005 10:55 AM

On the websites it says they supply the decals so you choose whether or not you put them on, but do they only come in blue? Cause thats all i'm seeing......If i would get the Work I wanna rock the Red Work Lugs. Also....

Has anyone ever seen the Emotions in person? Cause in all the pics i see they are look very dull and i can't get a good sense of what they actually look like. Any pics of them on cars would be good too.

Mutha Fn FBM 85 12-16-2005 10:56 AM

Option B.

01vic 12-16-2005 11:18 AM

get the works
volks look way to bling and dont go with youre beautifully simple and super clean ride
works look great, and nice photoshop work also...

Slow Gold 12-16-2005 11:26 AM

The works and blacked out headlights would set it off.

DDragon7 12-16-2005 11:26 AM

I vote for the works, looks better then the volks imo.

sOMEdUDE 12-16-2005 12:43 PM

drew22mader 12-16-2005 12:54 PM

Nm, i found out those were 16x7, wow 18's should look pretty damn good on there. hmmmmm

white2K2EX 12-16-2005 01:30 PM

I think the black GT-7s look the best.

goodtimes 12-16-2005 01:32 PM

XTREME2K2CIVIC 12-16-2005 01:53 PM

I say Volks all the way... In black or gunmetal.. Either way baller status...

A. 19's? thats way to big for a civic, and those wheels are ugly on your car.

B. CR Kai are ok, but 18's are still to big. Good thing you picked the Alpine over the Pioneer because the quality sucks. Plus you can't use the NAV going over 5mpg but you could on the N1. But you know everything so who has to tell ya?

C. Volks? Nice choice but 18's? You are driving a civic not a Escalade.. Maybe you can get a chrome emblem for the side of your ride that says 18 " dawg... Drop down in size a little, maybe 16's or something.

02civic_rida 12-17-2005 09:38 AM

^^ Sounds like your a lil upset with what he said in ur thread?


if you dont like his car thats fine. what he said in ur thread was simply fact of products and specs.... what ur saying is all opinion I semi agree with u on the 18s being big, however, the way his car is done, he makes it look real guud. some people can pull it off, drew22mader and XTREME2K2CIVIC being two examples and others that cant, i wont mention any names, but this question of this thread was A. B. or C. not D. HATE .... if theres something to tell him tell him through pm

XTREME2K2CIVIC 12-17-2005 09:43 AM

Totally agree w/ you 02civic_rida.... Someone's hatin'...LOL....

19's all the way baby... BALLER STATUS.....Big Pimpin' and I love it...

drew22mader 12-17-2005 11:12 AM

Its all good, I could careless if 1 person doesn't like my car. There is always someone out there that won't like it. But really, I don't think its a matter of really not liking the wheels. If you're mad at me because i said something about the headunit then o'well.

I enjoy riding on my 18's, and if Volk would offer the wheel in 19", you better believe i would jump on that. Volk, Work, SSR, Wed Sport, etc.... "BALLER STATUS" as Xtreme2k2civic stated. Not many people can afford wheels like that, or would drop $2500 + on wheels, and plus they are rare. So when i post a thread saying, A,B, or C, don't come on here all mad and tell me useless crap. I could care less man. And, the chrome thing on the side of my car, why on earth would i put 18"? My ride is clean, and you're the only one who think that its not. hmmm, sounds like your still mad.

Oh and also, before you go and try to tell me that you can't use the Nav function over 5 mph, you couldn't be more wrong. On the Pioneer, it does work over 5 mph, so before you try to tell me it doesn't, go on google and search it. Everyone has hacked it and it works no matter what speed. Please man, don't try and tell me about stereos. I have forgotten more then you prolly know. Unlike you, i research stuff and then make my decision.

Now, I'm done with this man, You can ask anyone on here, I like to help people as much as I can. I'm not the type of person who is gonna hate on people and cause drama on 7thgen. You came on here saying that a headunit was prolly the best for under $1500, and i simply told you it wasn't and you didn't like it. Ok, its over, so don't go whoring on threads.

Last time I checked SSR was bankrupt and sold to Tanabe, True "Baller status" indeed:_please:

drew22mader 12-17-2005 12:00 PM

I would still consider them that, Speed Star Wheels is the one who went bankrupt, SSR wheels will still be sold, and they aren't cheap either. JDM>Other IMO of wheels. Just when you think of great wheels, Those Volk, Work, SSR, Wed Sport, "real" Racing Hart, Advan come to mind.

Shaggycivic 12-17-2005 12:29 PM

I'm not hating, I believe someone told me in my thread that if I post I'll get opinions.

Look, all I'm saying is I got some true opinions in my thread and I took it like a man. I didn't cry, some of his opinions was right some was wrong. I will state that the NAV touchscreen isn't going to be as good quality picture as mine but we can sit here and argue that all day. Doesn't matter, its over.

I'm simply stating that the kind of cars I've always been into 17's or bigger just isn't "in".. Its been that away since 99 when I started getting into imports with the 99 Si EBP. It just isn't my thing, I'm not hating but I did give a full opinion when usually I just let it go and let people build their cars the way they want. I just returned the opinion is all it was.

Yes, 19's look like complete trash on civics. So does 18's, whats next, some bags? Buy a SUV and throw some spinners on it baller.

Pictures of my car? I have some from the dealership when I took delivery on it a few weeks ago, its in the introduction thread. Its how I like it, CLEAN. Will I change my rims out? I thought about some Volk TE-37's Bronze in 16's, but I've decided to stay with HFP since nobody around here has them.

I've said all I'm going to say, if Drew wants to hate me for giving him a opinion then let it be but I'm not holding anything against anyone from here on out. I just wanted to give me opinion and I wasn't lying or stretching it. 19's look like trash and always will be. Might as well go chrome..

gearbox 12-17-2005 12:42 PM

just overnight the advans from japan end of story

drew22mader 12-17-2005 12:55 PM

Dizzle are you sure? I think SpeedStar Wheels was the ones who went bankrupt, Speed Start Racing Wheels I thought was the "real" deal Speed Star.

Shaggy, i did say if you post it you'll get the opinions. BUT..I put in my thread though i told people to choose between the 3, i never included anything after C. A, B, and C and not anything else. Read first, talk later. If you didn't agree with it then don't post in my thread, i was only asking for the choices. You saying 19's on a car looks like complete trash is just your opinion. Seems like you come on here just to start trouble. You say your ride is clean, well so is mine. Your thread stated a false fact and i corrected it, mine asked for a choice between 3. But you had to be angry and go on my thread and say that stuff.

gaugeof12 12-17-2005 12:56 PM

Yo gotta go with the Works. There is a red 240 runnin around here with them & it looks HOT!! Thats just imo, your car will look great with any of them.

Don't cry Drew, I never wanted to hurt your feelings. Since you keep coming back telling me I'm just here to start trouble I'll finish it off by saying this.. I didn't ask for opinions in my thread. You gave it anyways, I didn't cry.. I may of made a mistake but lets its the best picture quality under 1100 which is 400 under what I mentioned. If you want to talk shit you show me retail brotha, not your special "deals". I paid under 300, but did I mention I got a "special" deal, no. I'm talking about retail, what most people pay anyways.

On that note, I mentioned my opinion when you asked for it. I gave you my opinion, all 3 was ass so I stated what I felt was a good opinion. All 19's look like shit on civics, bling bling dawg.

Don't cry just because I returned the favor, I said I didn't mean it in any harm and just wanted to state my opinion back. I'm done with it, you can continue all you want after you get off work salting my fries when I go to the drive thru..

drew22mader 12-17-2005 01:36 PM

Salting your fries? You think working at a fast food resteraunt would pay for all the stuff i've done to my car? You don't even have a clue what all i have done to it. I go to College and I also work there since you must TRY and bash where i work. LOL, buddy you don't even have a clue! You turned this thread into an argument.

I'm done

Shaggycivic 12-17-2005 01:51 PM

I'm not going to hold a grudge, its all good.

To give you an answer its C. I'm a sucker for Volks, but I still think 16's with a little bigger tire would be :sweet:

drew22mader 12-17-2005 01:55 PM

k, lets forget all that crap man. I don't wanna argue with people and have enemies on the site.

XTREME2K2CIVIC 12-17-2005 03:03 PM

Dont sweat it Drew...Hes just a poor nOOb...:lol:

02civic_rida 12-17-2005 04:53 PM

so am i :( lolz
