Being different for the sake of being different is cliche silliness.  Do what you want for the sake of what you want and what you like.


Having the same vehicle done up like everyone elses makes yours lose appeal. At least to me, Id hate to go to a small car meet and see half of them look damn near identical..they might as well all be stock cause you got nothing separating you from them.

I don't believe in over modification when it comes to the exterior of a vehicle so I don't see it the same as you. Ride height, wheels, maybe de-mold and de-badge. I'm not putting a splitter on my Trans Am to look different. They made less than 1,000 silver T/A WS6s in total. Like Epicexecution said, you may see another one on forums or at a big car meet but you won't see one every day. I enjoy clean and tasteful mods so cars I like are always going to blend in on the internet.

Derp?


I didnt say that was a Subaru. 90% of the Subaru's I see on the road have Rota's or XXR's. Its almost like its a match made in heaven.

the thing is though, you really only see these wheels "all the time" on forums (and really, same thing goes for every wheel).  I personally cannot remember the last time I saw these wheels in person


You forget I'm a car photographer and run a car website. I go to shows and take pictures of hundreds of cars. I'm sick of seeing the same knockoff concaved wheels on the same cars.

So people should buy wheels they don't like?

They should do something different because a rando photographer is sick of seeing common affordable products.

There is some truth behind it though...

Remember when Rockstars hit the 8lug world? Every Tom, Dick, and Harry had a set of them. They died off quickly and now BMF is the new bandwagon. If i had a dollar for every truck I see in Houston with BMF Novakanes i'd be a fucking billionaire.

P.S. Toyo tires suck ass hole.
