since llama posted his :)
now that llama posted his pics, i must steal his thunder! haha. heres a couple of pics of how my car looked for 3 days =/. my mom has this weird mentality where she's convinced aftermarket rims will kill me, so she forced me to take off the rims i bought, off the car i bought...go figuar ...any ways...here it goes:
btw, can any one help me a bit with photobucket, idk why but it always resizes my pics ghetto. i used iphoto to export all my pics to the same size ("large" like the last pic), but then when i upload them from my desktop to photobucket i get some smaller pics n some larger ones whats going on...also i must get jp neck pillows like llama then i can take interior shots!

Your Mom has some unique opinions about rims! Does she think that because the rims are wider/sportier, that you'll drive faster and crash? If so, she's just being protective of you cause she cares about ya. Being 50, and with a daughter about to start driving in a few years, I don't want her tricking out her cars until she's at least 60

Parents comments when I buy aftermarket parts
"waste of money" true but its a hobby not an investment, guys will do what they want. But under their roof, its their way. at least show respect.
ouch mom wont let u keep rims, musta been a dent in the pocket.
sorry to hear but i guess its
Time to move out!
looks sexy by the way

haha my folks are the same way, they are oldschool and don't believe in the after market car world. But thats ok because i do, and the way i persuade them is just by telling them how the add ons will increase safety(some times its true sometimes not so much ;] )

weesped, did you try:
When cars are built by the factory they try to make it as cheep as possible to keep overhead down and profit margins high. Therefore rims from a reputable aftermarket company are actually safer than stock since for the small business, reputation will either make or break you.
As a small business owner, i approve this message.
