i just shot my penis 5 times for thinking that was real

You two are generalizing. Some of the people are overzealous 90% of the time. Some, i.e. me, Option Zero and some others on the boards, are in search of two things: higher cornering speeds and world-class braking. I never skimp on tires and my big brakes weigh no more than stock despite prodigious increases in rigidity, clamping force, and heat dissipation capability. I have no dust shields, and I ignored the Z32 uprights I've had sitting in my garage for 18 months because of compatibility issues with my next coilovers. I'm running on admittedly crappy KTS coilovers because, yes, I have a budget and am slowly saving for DA coilovers. However, lighter unsprung weight will actually maximize the performance of the simply mediocre KTS'. I had to say all this because I hate being called a poseur.

byhi, I'm not even sure if you're from this planet. You seem to be from a planet where everyone is holier-than-thou and talks out of his ass. No one cares if you can spin your big-boy wheels. People do care if you can outbrake and outcorner them. Your Colossal-momentum (tm) Big-Boy Wheels add precious feet to your stopping distance. Guess who's going to have the last laugh when you're yanking your bumper support out of the rear of a Silverado? Do you have bling or a big clock around your neck? Is your ring tone "Money" by Pink Floyd? Please stop e-balling.

Spare us your lame, your tired, your wretched excuses. Stop cluttering this thread with vitriol that has no rational point behind it.

Personally, I think the Volk GT-U is a very good-looking wheel and I've only seen them on a couple S-chassis. CCW also makes some great-looking wheels, and the price tag makes them rare.

This thread makes me chuckle.

Some of you guys take this WAY too serious.

Those wheels are pure sex but impossible to fit on my s14..
Mrmeph, maybe you can bid on the pair of 10 -16 on yahoo and then ship it to me..obviously I'll pay anything..

OptionZero

Alright, meph asked this thread to get back on topic, so I didn't respond, but given that it seems to have started up again with the mod not opposing it:

Yeah, a corvette is a better car than a 240. And an f40 will take the corvette. and a couple race cars will beat that.

Yet some find enjoyment in MAKING the 240 fast, then BEING a fast 240 driver. That's something to be applauded, not scorned.

saying that the 240 sucks, then shrugging off improvements that *actually* would help, then attacking those who try to make it fast...well that's all quite laughable given that *you* drive a 240. So why'd you buy a car that's admittedly so flawed? For style? Hooray? So you have your purpose for the car, others have theirs. For the record, the Corvette, RX-7, and a host of other cars look better than any S-chassis ever will, so your battle is just as futile as others.

The hypocrisy is glaring to me. You prize wheel sizing perfection and crazy aero, whether functional or not, simply because it's an area that YOU value. Those falling short of your standards or different from your tastes are inferrior by definition.

Yet in other areas, if someone applies the same rigid standards and same disdain for inferiors, you laugh at the effort they put in: in the HID lighting thread, you say, who cares, as long as it works- you don't need a proper retrofit and fine tuning; here with rotational inertia, hey, it doesn't even matter much and you won't "beat a corvette" anyways; so it doesn't matter.

Hey, it doesn't matter- to you. I'm all for laughing at people that fail miserably in areas they know nothing about, when someone shows diligence and knowledge, I respect it, and so should you. The guy asking how 5x100 17x7 +40's? We can all flame him to death because the journey is doomed by its own stupidity. But the guy that wants to shave a second or so from a laptime? Let's give him a hand.

Drifting is a sport that glorifies style- but isn't about outright speed. Perhaps spending so much time caught up in it has shifted your values, but don't assume that it should be so for everyone else.

and Ni Yon Zenki: don't even post

KA24DESOneThree

Make it so. You can pull it off, Massimo.

Oh, and props to Option Zero for making more sense than I do. Using their logic, why don't we all drive F1 cars, since they are the pinnacle of technology?

SSR Formula Mesh 17x10 -20 for ultimate hotness. Or maybe I could just pull the BBS GTP wheels off the shelf at work...

sw20>>s14

agreed...but back on topic:

ssr formula mesh 17x12 -25





ssr formula mesh 17x9.5 +15 *sigh* the ones that slipped my hands on yahoo auctions...only if i had a day or two more they would be mine; all mine! -_- ...

I could buy the 2 18x10 for the rear..but impossible to fit the 10 on front..

byhi

a local guy had SSR formula mesh in 18x10.5 +12, 18x9 +04, i thought those sizes were gang rape goodness

JH

You might want to consider investigating further before spreading misinformation also. Koenig licensed SSR to produce several wheels specifically for the Japanese market... their designs, SSR's construction/manufacture. In japan, those Koenigs are also referred to as SSR-Koenigs. Koenig "imported" some of the SSR-made wheels into Europe also. But a lot of European Koenigs were made by OZ.

chmercer

they arent referred to as ssr koenigs. they are called koenig wrv. because thats waht it says on the wheel face. it says KOENIG WRV on the wheel. so people call it that. i dont call fn01rcs work racedoughnuts, because it dosent say that on the wheel.

JH

Actually they are. Much in the same vein as how people refer to SSR's Vienna lineup of wheels as SSRs, Viennas, or SSR Viennas, despite the lack of blatant SSR markings, those particular SSR-manufactured Koenigs are also often referred to as SSR-Koenigs (there ARE SSR decals on the wheels btw... you can see them next time you look at one in real life) in Japan and elsewhere. It would behoove you to just consider this one to grow on...ya learn something new every day, w/o having to berate people. It's just funnier when you do diss people, and then realize you were wrong.

One to grow on.
