Anybody have a clue? For product choosing purposes.

alloy ?

donno, but i wish my 99 SE's were a bit shinier, the darker color is a bit lame methinks.

Ahhh.. Alloy just means a mixture of two or more metals..

The SE-L rims are "titanium tinted aluminum alloy", according to the specs...

Adamantium


...actually aluminum alloy with paint and clearcoat on top.

Oh, mzmtg. You're such a Berzerker....

whats a berzerker?????

damn! lol I was about to post adamantium

One definition I am familiar with is that going berserk means literally going "bare shirted" in old Scottish dialect (compare Cutty Sark, which means "cut shirt", or "short shirt"). Scottish warriors (perhaps from Pictish times) would get hopped up on a drug and go into battle in a frenzy without any protective armor.

Dictionary.com gives an alternate origin which I have never heard before:

Word History: When we say that we are going berserk, we may not realize how extreme a state this might be. Our adjective comes from the noun berserker, or berserk, which is from the Old Norse word berserkr, “a wild warrior or champion.” Such warriors wore hides of bears, which explains the probable origin of berserkr as a compound of *bera, “bear,” and serkr, “shirt, coat.” These berserkers became frenzied in battle, howling like animals, foaming at the mouth, and biting the edges of their iron shields. Berserker is first recorded in English in the early 19th century, long after these wild warriors ceased to exist.

So how is that me?

I dizant kno. Ask the playa that called you that. yo

It's cause of your cracked-out megadeth smiley.. And your adamantium laced skeleton

lolol berzerker hahahah omg So how is mzmtg one??????? does he bit the hood of his car??? or foam from the mouth???? Those are fighting words lol

And the word of the day is BERZERKER...... lol.......

mzmtg may have chewed the tires off of the last car that he beat in a race

...... anyways... my guess would be aluminum alloy. It's pretty standard. Do any manufacturers make wheels out of titanium? I know they'd be so ridiculusly expensive each one would prolly cost more than my car itself but, uh, they'd be pretty light/strong.

Adamantium is the material that Wolverine's (from the comic X-men) grafted skeleton is made of. When he got super-****ed, he went into this "berzerker" mode. Kinda like how the hulk transformed. Basically, its kinda like going from bad-a$$, to SUPER bad-a$$! From what I have read, mtmng knows his shlt... it was a respect thing. I was trying to give him "props" as they say.
