what is the point of getting pretty aftermarket wheels if they just get dirty with brake dust after one drive ?
the real answer is because these people fucking -thrive- on social media props
>>28783390I dont understand aftermarket wheels at all. They're so overpriced or if cheap, they're unverified Chinesium quality, and getting an OEM wheel upgrade option when you buy the car initially is always cheaper.I don't buy aftermarket wheels, I buy extra OEM take-offs from retards who are "upgrading" to chintzy aftermarket wheels. They're much cheaper usually sub-1000 a set including new OEM tires and TPMS sensors. And you do'nt have to have the tire shop scratch your rims changing them out.So I basically have stopped buying tires. I just buy a new set of OEM take-offs when the tires wear out
ricers doing ricer things
>>28783394>I dont understand aftermarket wheelsIn theory, they can look nice In practice, 95% of them just look like bland stock wheels from a different car I respect it if you're actually doing something interesting
It's ok for a car to be a little dirty. Just wash it every once in a while.
>>28783390>brake dust after one driveIndian/woman detected
Brake dust is easy to clean if you dont let it stack up like a grubYou do keep your car in top condition, right?
>>28783429looks like in belongs in here, I like it
>>28783432Very likely. I run semi-metallics and drive hard as fuck so brake dust is just part of my life. Thankfully it doesn't show too much on my factory chrome rims or my painted black Enkei's . It's a nightmare when you have silver or white rims but I don't know why you would ever have those.
OEM wheels usually look worse than nice aftermarket ones.Honestly if you aren't interested in modding your car in general I don't see you as an actual car enthusiast.
>>28783466Just looks a little sharper than stock.
>>28783468>nice wheels to match the car vs. >>28783466>the shit every 9 year old puts on their gold lambo in Forza
>>28783474How often are you thinking about 9 year olds?
>>28783507every time i nut
I have a different question; what's the point of getting pretty aftermarket wheels if you're just going to paint them black and hide whatever shapes they have?
Because my aftermarket wheels are wider than my stock wheels, letting me run wider tires and get more traction. Any other stupid questions?
>>28783474>Even 9 year olds have better taste than youyeooowwch
>>28783466nah they look shit
>>28783512Weight reduction orIncreased width orBigger brakesNigger
>>28783429Hubcaps are more fun and easier to swap out!

>>28783424Nah everyone does this. So many guys on rennlist putting expensive HRE wheels that look like shit on their cars.
>>28783915So, ricers
>>28783915They paid top dollar for plastic engined mcdonalds strutted leasebait that gets gapped by a 2 series, they're ricers
>>28783390>what is the point of getting pretty aftermarket wheelNon, but they used to be a flex
>>28783436i honestly used tobut i gave up on cleaning my car nowim too depressed and lazy to take care of shit nowthere is no point. its not like my car is attracting girls.
>>28783390if you buy aftermarket wheels just because you think they look good, you're a ricer. you buy aftermarket wheels:>because they're lighter>because they're stronger>because they look goodin that order
>>28783394That's fine if you only ever drive new slop cars. Old cars (good cars) all had OEM wheels that aren't ideal sizes. Need wider wheels to fit wider tires, need wheels with more negative offset for better fitment etc.
>>28783958Good luck leasing a GT3RS
>>28783424>never change anything or its ricePeak cope
Because if you're not a retard you get proper real aftermarket rims saving you 4kg per wheel in unsprung weight.
>>28783909What an insanely retarded video.
>>28783390what's the point of washing your ass if you're just going to take a shit again later?
>>28783393>>28783394>>28783424>>28783429>>28783468>>28783466>>28783961>modern /o/ can't comprehend bigger brakes or less unsprung mass or wider tires>the only thing they can understand is appearance 17x7" wheels from a gt86 are 20 lbs17x7 rpf1s are 15 lbs5 lbs of unsprung weight at each corner is fucking huge.
>>28784597>>28784623> save a few pounds at each corneryeah for like $4000-6000 incl rubbernot worth it. when you buy a car the upgraded wheel options are like $300-2000, much cheaper. you can fit the bigger brake package with those too, and you get OEM warrantyi haven't even considered used cars but it's even less worth it for those because the wheels/tires are like half the price of the used car, or more than the value of the car
>>28784660konigs and enkeis are like $400/corner at most, and good 200tw aren't much more than $200/corner and that's for large sizes. did you get your numbers from influencers or some shit?also>half the price of the used carthis is a fallacy, if you're improving the car then you have to shell out the cash. wheels aren't necessarily cheaper just because you have a more expensive car, % of car's value is a useless metric.
My car came with 20” wheels that weigh around 32 lb each. Would I likely see much benefit in responsiveness and ride quality by swapping to the “lower trim” 18” wheels that also only weigh 22 lb? Tire OD would remain the same, we would just gain an extra 2” of rubber and drop around 35-40 lb of unsprung mass.
>>28784677those wheels are chankjank bullshits for 4icelets
>>28784593It's hilarious when BMWs are all lease bait but 718/911 have very low lease rates.
>>28784728>overpaying for light, stromg, high quality wheelscouldn't be me to be honest familia
>>28783390>tfw you love both your OEM forged BBS wheels and aftermarket wheels
>>28784734>thinks chankjank is high quality
>>28784739>japanese wheels are bad>actually here are some high quality japanese wheels>they can't be good because they're japanesecircular argument, also you're a retard
>>28784751konigs and enkeis are cheap chankjank pikachu bullshits kek cry fucking pussy ricer
Most people aren't going to do anything that less unsprung weight would be noticed. Only reason to get a second set is you want a winter and summer set.
>>28784752not in my experience but feel free to prove me and thousands of other people wrong. hint: you won't because you're a retard that spends his whole life schizoposting on /o/ and signing his posts with buzzwords instead of posting any kind of coherent arguments.
>>28784758
>>28784758The trick is to never reply to anyone that uses the words McDonalds, stilts, ricer, etc
>>28784770the trick to what, having an ugly slow gay pikachu bullshit on stilts?
>>28784767>AI summaryLOL retardanyway half the OEM parts on most cars, including most OEM wheels, anything that says "BOSCH", and whatever smartphone you posted that from are made in china now. your argument is still circular and the burden of proof is still on you to prove that they're low quality.
>>28783512I was looking to get winter wheels and tires and powdercoat them black kek
>>287833901 pound of rotating mass is like 50 pounds of static mass.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1-hH3nmyl8
>>28784776>nooo everything is cheap chankjank that means cheap chankjank pikachu bullshits are actually good quality!!!kek fuckin ricers say the darndest things

>>28784807they're literally just cheap chankjank pikachu bullshits THOUGHi don't support that kind have uttershitem8none of those are buzzwords either
80% of this board's posters driver some flavor of 2015 econocar that doesn't even give you the option of putting in an aftermarket double din with functioning gps & carplay, I wouldn't expect anyone here to understand the appeal of aftermarket wheels.
>>28784660>it's even less worth it for those because the wheels/tires are like half the price of the used car, or more than the value of the car>muh resale valuewho gives a fuck
>>28784821>he doesn't have an Alpine™ sound system
>>28784827I keep asking if Alpine is still in their shit phase or if they're going back to their roots and I never get an answer.
>>28784821>double dinFuck that shit, single din CD+usb is all you need.
>>287846604k usd for full forged bbs rims and a set of advans or cups is absolutely worth every penny if you actually have a good car and not a peice of shit. No one's saying that you need it on a junker or a car where pefomance doesn't matter
>>28784821police wheels are where it's at
>>28784660>when you buy a car the upgraded wheel options are like $300-2000, much cheape1. No one cares about new cars you faggot2. """"""Upgraded""""""" wheels are worse than aftermarket. They're meant for dumb fucks like you that just go by looks. The 17" 86 wheels ARE the "upgrade".RPF1s will run you like $500-1000 for a set, figure ~$1500 give or take for all 4 corners.
>>28784834My head unit, disc changer, amps and subs are all over a decade old so I couldn't give you an answer on modern stuff personally.
I want spinners to come back. I want a set of spinners to turn my car into a wiggermobile but my only option is getting a newly made custom set which I do not want to spend $2,000+ for
>>28784862Not always new cars do get good upgrades. Stock gr yaris runs 11.6kg cast eneki and the factory forged bbs set are 8.6kg and are pretty cheap compared to getting an aftermarket set of forged bbs in a comparable weight.
>>287848273" Tangbands are where it's at, dawg.
looks better to me
>>28784963For everything else there's the ol' stroker.
>>28783390>what is the point of getting pretty aftermarket wheelsyeah why do anything cool to your car at all? Why even drive it? Just park and never drive it. Insufferable broke homosexuals swear
>>28784991rhd sucks.
>>28784993>rhd sucks.bro you live at your mom's house- your opinion is to be disregarded
>>28784993what would it all cost just to put in a bigger subwoofer (not crazy big just a little more than stock lets say 10")
