The Ruination of A Once Fine 'Cedes - W124 Estate

[Kielan]

Kielan is just mad about fake wheels because Mike Burroughs is mad about fake wheels. Why is Mike mad about fake wheels? Because the rep companies put the real wheel companies out of business. Stealing designs from a company who is already weak in the knees (BBS) and then replicating their products for less is a low blow, and destroys what were already very low sale figures.

With that being said, people here are unoriginal, and have a small mindset. We just piggy back off each others ideas, and views. This is probably why I want to shift my interest to 4x4's, and back away from the "Stance" scene.

BTW I own zero fake wheels, trying to be unbiased here though.

You nailed it dude, I'm a weak feeble minded follower who only says something because some one else does.

I don't give a shit what your reasoning is OP, it's the internet. I am entitled to my opinion as you are to yours. That being said, I also think of myself to be correct, and don't care what your reasoning is as to why you think reps are "ok" even if they are just "temporary". Continue doing you and whatever it is that you want to do with your car. It's your money, your car, your pride, whatever, I really don't give a shit. Have fun, don't do anything stupid, you'll be fine. I'm not going to beat the topic of real vs fake wheels to death again on here. It's been done enough times.

Homeboy up there would like to think that I am a nut swinger and that's fine, he doesn't know me and anyone can make shit up from behind a keyboard on the internet.

Don't need you hypebeasting comments Will




Hype beast is my middle name and fishbowl for the looks.

I dont understand this flame war. These wheels were bought for the purpose of rolling around till he can get real wheels. And do any of you buy your wheels new from bbs? so how are you helping the company?

[Kris]

I had Schmidt THline in 18inch under the 406... never had more trouble then with them.... 3barrels broke in 35000km...

no i have RS rep's on the daily...

[AMGwheelwhore]

Ive owned a ton of wheels in my life both "real" and "fake." It all comes down to you're budget and where your at in that moment of time. As long as you like it, do you man.

[Youngthugga]

I still don't. But I've never put fake wheels on anything because I was broke. At least OP gets that he has purchased complete shit and hopefully regrets it. I understand money isn't easy to come by, and car shit is expensive, but cheaping out and buying fake shit is not the answer. I've been a student the entire time I've been into cars, I get it.

I ONLY bought these wheels because I was tight on time/money. I looked and looked for real wheels that met my budget/size/offset needs and couldn't find anything I could buy/build and install in 3 weeks. The situation just didn't work out that way so I was forced to pick reps up. The plan was just to roll around on them for a little, flip em, and buy something cool. But my car's at the point where I literally can't run the stock wheels I have anymore so I have to buy wheels before I can sell my current set. So I'm going to wait til I have something locked down to get rid of them. I'm not proud of them by any means, but I don't regret them, they serve their purpose and fit well, this isn't the last set of wheels I'm ever going to own haha.

He knows they are fake, he wasn't scammed.

Dope ride OP! Love it!

Thank you and thank you

Haha, it was great meeting you guys and getting to hang out.

Meh.You'll find it wherever you go. It's human nature. Every orchard has a few bad apples.....just do whatever brings you pleasure and don't let others get to you.

Solid concourse hangs for sure man, it was awesome meeting you guys!
Exactly, it's extremely hard to be original today, in anything. And anyone with a good product is going to be copied, that's the way the market works. I doubt you go around bashing people for ordering fake otterbox cases for their iphones.

The look on Mikes face when I showed him made it 1000% worth it.

With that being said, people here are unoriginal, and have a small mindset. We just piggy back off each others ideas, and views. This is probably why I want to shift my interest to 4x4's, and back away from the "Stance" scene.

Welcome to the internet.

Not sure why I even wrote all that. I know better.

Anyway… Dope ride OP! Love it!

[Dudermagee]

And you care for what reason? He spending your money? His fake wheels make your real wheels less valuable? You protecting the integrity of BBS?

He knows they are fake, he wasn't scammed.

I was heavy into kicks when I was younger. I never wore fakes but a lot of dudes did. Never understood the people who would get so worked up over what the next guys was doing and would call someone our for wearing them.

Let 'em rock fakes if they want… I'll stick to the real deal and keep it moving.

Nothing worse than a whiney purist who gives their opinion when no one asked for it.

Holy jesus that is some dedication!
Awesome car dude!

I'm down for the real gangsta ish gOing on in this thread.

New tails look ffffffffresh. 10/10 better without pinstripe btw.

great work man!!

Thanks dudes loving the love as always

and peel that tint fool

Yeah yeah peel tint = so euro many scene points I get it, whatever.

Welcome to the pre-owned w124 community, mate!:



Many of us have been there once...
Nevertheless: I like what's going on here

Getting into these cars I didn't think Mercedes owners were cheap

Why hello dar mr benz <3

Any hub issues with the front while fitting the wheels?

Only issues I had were brake clearance related nothing spcrs couldn't fix!

I'm ready for some legit wheels on this thing. I fucking love it though. Keep doing what you do man.

Should be saving your money for real wheels instead of getting that tattoo.

You're probably right but the tattoo came before I had useable/saveable income, real wheel fund is in the works now. The look on Mikes face when I showed him made it 1000% worth it.

called the fuck out

I like my ESMs and how solid they are. Well made, great attention to detail - I broke 3 lug bolts on a rear without even kinking the wheel And that "GO TRACK THEM AND SEE!" argument is invalid - this isn't a purpous-built 600hp 'vette. :-)

You are the exact reason that I don't even bother with 90% of the shit on this site any more.

100% Agree with Kielan these are the cheapest feeling fake wheels I've ever dealt with, one of the center thread pieces for my center caps cracked on a balance machine last week......
