The Ruination of A Once Fine 'Cedes - W124 Estate

[Kielan]

There was a time when you didn't shit out Haynes manuals too man... Just saying.

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.

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.

Welcome to the internet.

Welcome to the internet.

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

Anyway… Dope ride OP! Love it!

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.

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

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.

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.

Dope ride OP! Love it!

Thank you and thank 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.

[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.

[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...

[willshaffer]

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?

[QUOTE=Youngthugga;1286254]Thanks dudes loving the love as always

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

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.

[mike-81-240d]

Yep we're all allowed our own opinions.

Mine still stands that Kielan is sucking somone's kneecaps, but hey maybe I'll meet him in person someday and he'll be completely different versus how he comes off on the interweb.

Well then... Cars or something. Mercedes is going to break down on you eventually. Wheels are round. #offtopic
