You are so sad dude, i bet you dont have a girlfriend, a fast car, or any friends. If ignorance is bliss, you must be in paradise right now...how is it rice...go ahead explain it. I love how all of these idiots just throw the term out there, its really lost all meaning at this point.

By the way, just because you have a million JDM wheels that you spend your life savings on doesnt mean u can talk shit.

yeah, it seems to me that anything now-a-days, that isnt JDM is rice to some people. it's ok i like the idea and thats all that matters :). i just got back after an hour driving around cuz every store i went to ran out of flat blacK wheel paint. gonna get them done hopefully today.

I still say no time attack, just flat black with unpainted center cap

NO, you cant. They are different shapes. Acorn shape as opposed to another shape..dammit i cant think about what the other shape is. I am 100% positive on this one.
Oh, ya dont paint em timeattack. maybe some rota slips, but no SI's

The aftermarket lugs are conical.

my life savings spent on my wheels? you don't know me to say anything, lol. don't make yourself look more like an idiot, so please, for your sake, quit while you're ahead.

i don't have a girlfriend, you're right. i am divorced. i have plenty of friends, and i am building a 280whp k24 eg hatchback.

everyone see's it differently, like i said, i simply stated my opinion, i didn't mean to make you sad or offend you but painting stock wheels IS rice, thats like painting your steelies, or painting hubcaps, or using aftermarket lugnuts on your oem wheels. all rice. everyone has a different interpretation of what rice is considered, this is mine. so take it how you want to take it.

Im not 100% but the aftermarket and tuner lugs are just a smaller diameter to fit inside of cast and aluminum rims... A lot of guys here run chrome lugs or rays lugs with steelies lol. I think the plain black would look good with the lugs. I didnt like the red strip though.

Rennen 01-03-2008 08:34 PM

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
i like the red stripe, but its a pain in the ass to do, so i just painted them flat black. i just drove back to school and finished unpacking so i havent had time to take pics yet. oh btw, aftermarket leg nuts do fit. i drove about 400 miles with them on and they havent fallen off yet :tup:

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
i think they wouldve looked sweet with the red stripe.. i always thought it was like a bead tho.. on the outside of the wheel, i didnt know it was just painted on..

hey has your funding ever grown in the past year for your CBR? lol i cant tell if that number in your sig ever goes up lol

RHCP0801 01-03-2008 10:49 PM

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
i drove thousands of miles with my oem wheels and tuner lugs and nothing ever happened but its pretty dangerous i guess lol

Rennen 01-03-2008 10:54 PM

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!
 
yeah, about the CBR fund... i started in the summer with a job... then i quit... and spent it all on beer. :lol:. im trying to get another job right now, but its kinda hard with school and the fraternity.

looks sick bro, did u put any clear on it or no.
U should also consider painting that silver strip on ur hood black, i think it would look better.

that looks really mean.

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!! New pics on pg 4 =)
 
i was considering painting it black, but i remember that i have a chrome one at home. i forgot to get it while i was home for the holidays so the silver is gonna stay until i go home again :).
