Why in the F is it so hard to find nice-looking 15s in 4x100?

    It's not our job to babysit you and tell you the world is better when you discover you cannot afford the wheels you want.

    I don't know if you knew or not, this is R3V and if you are a douchebag, you will be flamed. Back in the day, you would have already been banned for being a whiney and annoying bitch.

      Howso? How am I acting smarter than I am? I came in, posted a half-observation/half-question. Are you that stupid that you read into my first post that I was trying to sound smarter than I am?

      If I had come in and tried to educate you guys as to something that you already knew, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.
      If I had tried to correct you guys in an area where you were not wrong, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.
      If I came in here and acted as if I know more about the E30 (or even automobiles in general) than established members, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.

      As it is, I did nothing of the sort.

      What makes you think that I can't afford them? I don't need to slap my e-dick out on the table to show what my bank account can or can't afford, but I could easily afford wheels and tires that cost far more than what I paid for my E30. But doing so just does not make sense. Again, if you go back to page 1, I even addressed that fact:

      No reference to affordability. I am sure that since you reside on the internetz, that probably means that you live in your parents' basement and save all of the money from bagging groceries to buy mad tyte GDM parts for your E30 and can't conceive a lifestyle where people have mortgages, student loans, multiple car payments, kids and kids-on-the-way, etc.

      But I could still afford to buy a set of wheels and tires, if I so desired.

      Really? What clued you in? For me, the titlebar had me confused as to what site I was on...

      How exactly have I been a douchebag? I made an observation about something that had me a bit confounded, and people enlightened me. Those that made incorrect assumptions were corrected. The thread died...then you (in an AWESOME act of douchebaggery) came in and decided to try to dog me for not anticipating the difficulty in finding wheels with the right specs. The issue was dead- I did not drag it back to page 1.

      And as for "back in the day..." I could not care less how long your history on this site goes back. I see all the time where someone with a lot of knowledge (about cars in general OR a specific platform) and joins one of the other forums that I follow, and the old guard tries to intimidate them into cowering in fear at the wisdom of tenured members. Very often, the new member actually has something to add.

      I might have something to add, and I might not. I am surely not an E30 or general automotive powerhouse, but to assume that because I am new here that I am not worthy to share your bandwidth is a really, really stupid act on your part.

                      Hahaha. Classic.


                      phen-fen addict, I actually have a mortgage thank you and a little bit of student loans remaining and a newer car with a payment... and have owned more sets of wheels than I can possibly count.

                      If I had tried to correct you guys in an area where you were not wrong, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.
                      So you admit it, then. Because that is what you did vs. nando.

                      It's not being a douchebag to treat the worthless shithead n00b like he should be, it's the R3V-way. If you don't like it, go whine about prices on bimmerforums where people of your ignorance are protected.

                      p.s. I've owned an Infiniti and the wheel selection was a lot worse than E30s.

                        Who cares how much you got shit wheels for shit cars for? Mille Miglia MM-II are shit. ASAs are shit. Rotas are shit. Small-ass BBS RZs on I30s look like shit. BBS RKs on a SpecV is an excellent way to polish shit.

                        Clearly, you have a fascination with shit. Perhaps you are interesting in pushing it 4" up a man's ass in your free time? If so, you could probably advertise your services on Morgantown CL, make some roses, and buy some real mesh wheels for your E30?

                          The Miglia's are Italian made, and actually pretty tough wheels. I know this from experience.. Countless track days and potholes in a 3400lb car.

                          I cant recall any Rota failures either. Calling them junk isnt fair really.

                            Same here. But your assumption that I can't afford to buy wheels is not correct.

                            Maybe a P10 or P11, but other Infiniti vehicles are 5 on 114.3. Most reputable manufacturers make wheels that are available in that bolt pattern.

                            While there are a lot of absolutely ugly wheels available, there are a lot of nice ones in that pattern as well.

                            If you were referring to P10s or P11s, then agreed- the selection sucks.
