Don't get angry, I'm sure when you get the car repainted they will paint over that.
Of course knowing you, you will get the whole care painting pink.

That is true... thankfully a lot of my car has been repainted so it doesn't look that bad but if I had the dough I would get a new paint job no question. Anyways good job on your award, car looks hot! Lovin' the rims too.

I'm probably going to sell them though...seems like all of the sudden 3rd geners have decided to be original and are prepping to buy them...cause you know...all VG's should have lightweigh 18" rims

Who let the dogs out?
What a gross, disgusting, cancerous, dilapitated, horrifying, hideous, trash heap, shat on wheels the new MOTM is.
I have to go buy a new keyboard now because I lost my lunch on it after seeing that piece.
punk
congrats

lightweight 18's are the rims on peeps cars that pay mods to be MOTM. no one wants those but on the real your car is wayy nice and you need to chill on the rim thing. just cause a few people were thinking of getting in on a good deal fer those particular rims you get all bent outta shape and i dont think neone near you went through with the purchase
congrats on MOTM.

In the past few years anything bigger than 17 was still a rarity so I figured i'd switch it up and get them (i tried getting subzeros a year ago as well) in 18" w/ a polished lip. If people want to copy that's fine...I'll just switch it up again...no sweat off my back but i'm not about to roll into shows this year when the bodywork etc is done and have another 3rd gen max park next to me w/ the same rims

but did you really think you can be that slick and be original by getting these wheels???
Rota Subzeros are quite popular now and are gaining popularity not only because they are cheap, but they are built strong and are light. Weight/price.. you can't really beat them. Plus I think I remember you mentioning that you even pointed Henry/KMD to the group deal forum yourself... It was coming sooner or later, I'm expecting more and more people to pop up with these wheels soon enough.. I bought a set of 17s myself because the price was just too good to pass up, but I've already put them up for sale.. still skeptical about it though.
Basically, anything "cheap" will be popular and you can't expect to be original with it. Just like nearly every Konig style wheel has been played out for years, just like every other Honda has ADR wheels on it.. etc..
I think they fit your car great.
However, if you plan on doing shows, I can definately see your concern.
But, this was kind of bound to happen once the word spread..

also i'd like someone to quote me where i said i was the originator of the subzero trend...for the people that know me around here i'm 99.9% sarcastic and my posts are just sarcasm...i never said i was the originator and never would. i've been looking to get subzeros for the past 2 years and almost jumped on "theblue's" GD a year ago...

My opinion is this...people come here and get sh*t talked on them and they cry "i'm being original and i do for me yada yada yada"...when it comes down to it i see a trend and i'll say i don't like it if i don't like it. There's THOUSANDS of rims that come in 5X114.5 and the whole weight ratio for VG's isn't a factor. It's not a fast car...simple as that...

I guess I understand why there are quite a few people who like to swap wheels every 1-2 years..
