You're right. Expressing a strong opinion is ignorant and lacks class.

I'll rephrase it. I don't care for the wheel fitment used on the Nissan. At all.

Note - if the rim and tires sticks out past the fender wells it looks alot like a latino mobile straight from Mexico, and dump the wheel spacers or adaptors... Many have said that in other threads....

Quoted for truth. I said this before, but if I remember correctly, it was turned around on me as being racist against Mexican low riders.

Cheap shot at an owner, anybody?


BTW, just because something is VIP Style doesn't make it good. It's all subjective. I'm seeing this VIP style thing become more like JDM was. Just because it's JDM/VIP, it must be terrific.

No.

I think this is what you said in your own sig, "Life is short play hard...... "

at $200 a rim, I don't think you can be playing anymore harder playa.

But I'm not judging the way you're fixing up your car based on your background...

Cheap shot because I give my opinion about his wheels

yes VIP has some extreme fitments but I wouldn't say it was mexican or place a race on it

I'm sorry I have no respect for someone who's full of it these threads speak for themselves:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=184178 Check his "dyno" sheet on page 2

And we can't forget this wonderful thread below

Hahaha. I totally forgot about those threads. Thanks for reminding me.

Back on topic... I don't think jibby was referring to VIP style cars as looking like Mexican sedans running 'outie' wheels. I think it was more specifically that Nissan that Roo posted.

Yea jibby hope your wheels and tire combo can handle all that power you claim. That S14 fitment is very close to some VIP styling I have seen. I just don' t agree with calling it's "mexican" I know the types you speak of. Wire 15" wheels poking out are a lot different than 18's or 19's with aggresive offsets.

It's not that you have a strong opinion, it's how you choose to express it....or rather, why you even choose to express it. If you don't appriciate someone else's wheel fitement, there's no need for an ignorant comment.

If you're going to post a picture of a car with extreme styling, you should expect to get extreme opinions. I chose not the beat around the bush in my original post.

By the way, my post wasn't 'ignorant'. I know what's involved in wheel fitment, what the difference between high and low offsets is, etc...

To point out the irony, your use of the word 'ignorant' is 'ignorant'. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ignorant
