[COLOR=white]why are people so obsessed with rims?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]also, I saw these morons on the road this weekend. They were jumping around in their cars like idiots. The cops pulled them over right before we got to Daytona so that was worth seeing[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffffff][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]people are idiots. At first I thought they were rednecks, but I was wrong. The white car has DB for Dooney and Bourke. How fuckn lame. Then the fuckn rap shit they were playing was even worse[/SIZE][/FONT]

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

^^^^ Why would anyone do that!!!

Grillz.... I'm so pissed at myself for even using a "z" there! :suicide:

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

Rims, dubs, whatever have been big for a long time in the black community and even among lots of white people. I think hip hop culture made them bigger than ever.

And that Chris Rock bit was funny.

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

and now....

[QUOTE]Pimpstar rims are programmable using a Wi-Fi equipped laptop and can display images as you roll down the street. The LEDs are full color so there is no limit to what you can display on them, and the software allows you to rotate through a series of six different images per wheel. The wheels are carwash-safe and run from the car’s power to spare you the embarrassment of running out of battery in the middle of your flashing light display. The wireless technology begs to be hacked and since these are destined to go on the uber-SUVs, we recommend replacing “Low Ridah” with images that say “Losah.”[/QUOTE]

"white people turn up the treble black people turn up the bass"

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

To me anyone that gives as much as a shit about rims is a hick.

Sorry, but do you know how to DRIVE? And I mean DRIVE, because even my grandma can go fast in a straight line.

If I had the money to buy a really shit hot car, Id actually try to make it look as low key as possible.

People who need to show how badass they are through this type of shit must have a real problem with self-respect and affirmation.

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

Fuck the rims, what's under the hood is my opinion.

Put your money where your mouth is, bet your rims in a race, guaranteed I will be leaving your car on cinderblocks before it is all said and done.

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

hmmm i like to have nice rims on my car... but thats def. not my priority.. as fumanchu said id rather put it under the hood.

Re: Why is the obsession with Rims?

to be honest, i really dont care about rims, i dont even care about souping up my car or getting it to go fast, i just want a nice car with some decent rims nothing crazy flashy or anything. I'd be perfectly content with a black bmw m5 with some nice black rims, but if your a baller (shaq, kobe, etc.) and your rollin in a escalade, theres nothing wrong with having some 24" shinyass spinning fuckoff rims, it comes with the territory.

[quote=speciale]^^^ Tampa has gone down the shitter a bit from what I hear. is this true?[/quote]

i guess its who you are talking to, to be honest i never really thought tampa was much to begin with, although it had a huge breakbeat/(lots of ecstacy) scene that has since pretty much dwindled down and been replaced by this huge "dirty south" hip hop shit. times change, sometimes its good sometimes its not. one day dirty south music will go out of stlye and well see what happens next, im hoping for a breaks revival:twisted:

Hmmm...do you know the country well? Because if you don?t, you hit the nail surprisingly on it?s head! ;)

In Europe, portuguese are known as reckless drivers and showoffs, most of the time without any reason to showoff, that?s why I feel so qualified to comment. And yeah, we?re mostly hicks.:D

We also have the highest traffic accident rate in Eur:what ope
