Would getting a rear window spoiler and having a trunk spoiler be redundant? Or would it increase traction by a lot..?
edit: And yeah.. whats wrong with stock rims? Tonight I'll go out and take a picture of mine =)

I do ask some dumb questions, but not all the time. The traction thing was meant to be sarcastic.... I did not think at the time that you guys would take me seriously. But why does everyone think I want to trade straight up? Are you kidding? I work at an investment firm, I know the value of things, and I am not retarded =)
Sorry that I came off as a retard.

nowhere on the post do you indicate that you'll add money. it sounds like you just want to trade straight up.
just because you work as a mailboy or coffee getter at an investment firm doesn't mean you know the value of things.

i just dont see spending all that extra thousands in a set of authentic brabus wheels. The authentic chrome ones look exactly the same as mine i just chose not to put the brabus center caps on. i can see people spending for a real set of HRE's because they are 3 piece wheels. I rather use the extra cash for other mods or save it up for something else. Wheels are wheels if i put you blind folded in a car with authentic brabus wheels and did the same thing with the same car with replicas i guarantee you won't be able to the difference. The ride is the same, handling is the same. It just all depends on how good the replicas are. Btw stop hating

I think we all know what he meant, he just phrased it poorly. Having Authentic mods, for some people, is an automatic bragging right and they think that it makes them better than the people with replicas. I'm all for having authentic wheels if I can afford it. But BRABUS wheels specifically, I would not buy the authentic ones ONLY because there are so many replicas flooding the market.

There is absolutely no difference bro. There are plenty of lower priced wheels (same goes for jewelry, handbags, clothing, etc) out there that aren't blatant knock-offs.

BTW, let's just say that I didn't exactly pay full price for my wheels either. More like 71% off.
