          I agree. Retarded looking and what statement is someone with them trying to make? I'm a rich mofo and even my wheelz got bling.

          Complete waste of money.

                People with those rims are usually attention whores.

                        They are pretty fucking annoying. I sure wouldn;t mind if I never had to see another set again.

                        Hell.. I've got 10's, but I keep em' clean!

                                              neither.

                                              and no big ass airplane wings bolted to the trunk lid, no curb feelers, no R-Type stickers or bad tint jobs, no Eminem booming at 400 db, no glowing lights underneath.... none of that retardedness.

                                                          LOL! A neighbor has *all* of the accessories on his *Nissan 240SX* (no shit). HUGE spoiler, custom underbody fiberglass, fiberglass side-panel molding to add rear-brake vents and no door handle, huge ram-air hood, hood pins, coffee can exhaust tips, etc. We're talking about what must be over $4,000 in mods.

                                                          The sad thing is that the owner can't afford to paint over the primer, nor can he afford any engine mods at all (not that you'd want any on that car).

                                                          Oh yeah, and he has chrome spinners... on the front wheels only. He's probably saving up for the rear ones.

Like $5,000 worth of hop-ups on a car thats worth like $8,000. And those stupid mufflers that are the size of a coffee can. Lame.

I guess they improved the rear-wheel weight ratio since then, since the 200SX had shit for rear-wheel traction. I assumed that the 240 was similar.

                                                                        The car I was referring to has no turbo, no power-adders that I could see from looking from under the car (OK, I was curious when I saw the hood pins, which are a racing necessity). All show and no go... heh.

                                                                                        they're supposed to make the car look like it's still moving when it's come to a stop and be all cool looking.

                                                                                        i personally think they're quite lame.

                                                                                            second, if i'm buying a 4wd, i'm buying it for a purpose. if i want to go flying through a snow drift or play in the mud, i don't want to have to worry about my z-rated race tires getting me stuck.

                                                                                                  Esclade being a women's Heeled Boot.
                                                                                                  Its called a boot yes, but a far difference from the same boot youd wear kicking the shit out in the barn..

                                                                                                  The boots a lady wears to the club is gunna be different from the "boot" theyd wear out in the garden..

                                                                                                  You cant expect that same boot to do both..
                                                                                                  Two different animals.

                                                                                                  You just dont buy a 60k Esclade to do off roading and mountain driving..

                                                                                                  Its used for lookin nice in the city..

                                                                                                  And you dont drive around a 4 runner with mountain tires to drop you off at the Valet of the hot club on a strip hoping to look good either.

                                                                                                  Two different beasts.
