Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Guys, I'm looking to change up my second set of alloys...good ventilation for possible track work, and also just to show off the new brakes that I'll be fitting ;) Staying oem.

Do I go for the legitimately good looking Style 108's...or go for the amazing but bonkers tri-spokes, Style 38's. The latter of which are rarer and more expensive.

Ok well now it got harder, that looks sweet too

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Yeah the 38's are 17-inch, the 108's are 18-inch. But they're both very friendly fitment so that's not too much of a concern!

Maybe I'll do some photoshops onto my car, because the 38's definitely look better in the second picture.

Someday I want to own one of these, a Honda Integra or Prelude. Perhaps the Prelude is a more realistic choice, but I've only ever seen one in my area, so I don't know if they'll be common enough to have a somewhat-low price. 

 

 

 

My vote is Prelude all day, as long as it has the H22 in it, 5th Gens came with them stateside, some 4th gens did as well, it's a pretty easy swap for a 4th gen, I absolutely love the 4th Gen dash as well, with a sunroof swap from a 5th gen, the interior would be perfect (Glass sunroof vs metal)

You do realize those are American racing truck rims right?

i do, my dude. it's just there's always a 90s accord here that runs chrome 3 spoke wheels and it's the most 90s thing ever but they just look tacky imo.

TCM is completely spazzing out clicking and popping as well. Its a fucus with the shitty DCT.

Don't really see many of those anymore. The car was bullshit anyway. New car off the lot does the same thing, just more noticeable in the customers because the mounts are broken in.

Ok here we go.

So customer with the shot Jeep, unknown to me but known to my boss, is the son of one of our older customers. So shot Jeep's dad is at the shop dropping off a car for work and my boss says 'you better teach your son some gun etiquette'. Shot Jeep's dad is like 'huh?!?' and my boss tells him about the Jeep, dad had nary a clue and now my boss has spilled the beans. I hope his ankle is tasty cause he got his WHOLE foot in his mouth!

I feel like equal amounts of people went for each style of wheel xD The 38's have outright rarity value, I've been going to bmw shows for years and never seen a set in person. 

 

The 108's I'm watching on ebay send tomorrow afternoon though... So unless I decide to cough up a few extra hundred pounds overnight, I think the decision is made ?

Which is ironic because I've been scolded in the past for saying things to certain customers about their other relatives vehicles, like someone's son or uncle or whatever had been in for something and I'd say 'oh we just had your so and so in, how are they and their vehicle?' and I'd get the stink eye from the boss or secretary and then later pulled aside and chided for it because those two people were on each others shit list because of some on the down low family strife LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT WHEN THE BOSS HAS KNOWN THEM SINCE HE GREW UP. LOL.
