You said, and I quote "those are wheels that should go on a honda," you didn't say anything bout the stance and fitment so I am not sure what you meant. That's why I thought you were knocking on their 3-piece forged wheels. Anyways, size, stance and fitment is all about personal preference, has nothing to do with rice. I don't think size is an issue cause one guy has 18" wheels and the other has 19" wheels, which are pretty common sizes on our cars. You probably just don't like the fact that they're low I am assuming. If you feel that being low is not classy, then that's just your opinion, but I don't think being low is rice, cause the lowrider guys started the low scene way before "rice" was even a term to describe cars.

LOL It came with the house. Plus its a slope so playing basketball on it isn't that great.

It's his opinion on my wheels. Anh-Tuan, pretty sure we're in a whole difference car scene he is in. Do I believe the wheels belong on a honda though? Naaah, pretty sure I can buy an old honda with just my wheels alone We know its all preference and I think the word rice is just being thrown around way too much to define cars now a days.

Everyone has their own opinions... And yeah your right Luan I'm pretty sure our car scene is completely different than most of the people on these forums.......

this just made my entire life. hahahah fack

I haven't been on the forums in a few months, I've been too busy digging out if the snow up here. I'm glad I ran across this thread! I've been cracking up at the banter. I see both sides of the Coin here. There are definitely some over the top rides, but the majority of the photos are pretty close aside from a few creative minds at work.

Anyway, I'm not gonna mislead anyone here, my '09 c300 4matic is still a great car. I have knock off CL63 rims, it's "murdered out," and I still list window tint and a K&N air filters as mods. Lmao. All of which were (at one point) all that was available when I bought it 5 years ago. (i.e. The sought after C63 grill!! Haha) I've ranted about getting the CLA, but never did. So to many of you fellow w204-ers I'm probably "that guy." Lol.

Anyway, keep these mods coming, I enjoy them. I'm still waiting for someone to buy a c300 and replace the engine with a c63. Now THAT would take the cake.

PS, our cars are getting old. We've been spoiled that they still look "new" to the untrained eye. Maybe next year I'll get a new one and tint the sh** out of it!!

I haven't been on this forum in over 1 year. But this thread made me laugh so dam much that ill keep on stopping by to get a good laugh.

JasonHu

Like Bunk and Toobs, I haven't been too actively lately but I had to poke my head in just to say that I enjoyed the laughter in the banter.

Josh.A.Hussey

This thread is hilarious...

OP... I have a question for you.. What are you thinking? Did you get picked on in highschool?... Did you pass highschool? Is there a reason you're such a pr**k?

You claim "to each his own" but yet use some terms which aren't exactly nice...
Do you think people will respond well to "gawdy"?

This controversy could've been avoided easily as follows:

"Cheap japanese rims
--------------------
What are your opinions? I can't stand them!"

Instead you called out a fair chunk of the people on this forum in a way that is not going to invoke "friendly" conversation as you claim.


.... Also
I'm 90% sure if we all gave our definition of "rice" it would be verrryyyyy different from one end of the spectrum to the other.

I can't believe this is actually a thread? It should be stickied and renamed "how not to act"

This is really funny I'm glad I got the chance to put my two-cents in on it because I have really enjoyed writing this post.


Oh yea... Euro&Loon RICE AWNNN if I was in Socal I would be right next to you!
I like to keep a car for every occasion, and cruisin VIP style is definitely not an occasion I'm going to miss. My W204 is a little more conservative than yours but I also live in the 500 year old province of snow and craters... Front lip would be a death wish.

Andriy242

+1 on the above post.

It's truly to each his own and some of us can't slam the car so it sits a millimeter of the ground because of snow and roads that have potholes. But at the same time you shouldn't use "GAWDY", maybe just say rice cause some people love their 264" rims on their benz, even though it's stupid and ruins the ride quality, that is their own provocative.

See for me this is rice or a bad looking benz.



But this is to my standard and other people might think that it's cool.
And this is what I think a good looking benz is

blue00r6

I love my gawdy rims!

Those are plasti dipped correct? Looks really good.

Everything is awesome except the drop. I don't mind it on other cars.

Because "to each his own".

w204_Generic

And because he posted for opinions= constructive criticism.

itsLoonie

Well you asked why right? And I gave you an answer I know he would agree because we are in the same scene. Because we can, we will, and we like it!!!!

Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to shrug your opinion off. I believe a person should be able to do what he wants to his own car without being criticized badly but it comes with the territory in the car scene.

I wouldn't call it 'constructive' criticism but that's just me. You don't like the style and how low it is. That I get but that's just an opinion. Is it bad for the vehicle? Yea we know it's bad, people remind us all the time. We do it for our own pleasure.

In the end, you do you Have a nice day w204_generic

w204_Generic

Notice how I quoted him and not you. I wanted him to answer my question.

Also, notice how I said everything else looks great. Constructive criticism= my view upon his style of lowering his car. Doesn't really fit the image on a Benz what my point was trying to come across to. If he likes it, it is fine with me, I just want to know why on a Benz. Also, In which you mentioned, "it's bad."

itsLoonie

You're right. He should answer and he should give his insight.

And constructive criticism = an opinion or insight on something for the purpose of improving the outcome.

And when I said bad, I meant mechanically not exterior wise. The whole image of a mercedes thing I won't get into as that's all your opinion.

Like I said before I'm not trying to start something here as I've been in so many of these conversation being in the car scene.

Your car, your money, your style...DO WHAT YOU WANT!! The only one seen behind the wheel is YOU!


Here is my gawdy, "riced out" setup...

xXHotelCrazyXx

Ill answer his question for you "Generic." Because it is his car. He has achieved the desired look he so sought after. Because he doesn't want to be "generic" and look like every other W204 out there and it makes HIM happy. He doesn't do it for your approval nor anyone else. Surely you are smart enough to expect the same answer from him and there is no need to ask a question you already know the answer to.
