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.

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?

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.

^^^ Tampa has gone down the shitter a bit from what I hear. is this true?

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to begin with, although it had a huge breakbeat/(lots of ecstacy) scene that has since pretty much dwindled down and been replaced by this huge "dirty south" hip hop shit.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

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.

We also have the highest traffic accident rate in Eur ope

I remember back in the 80s and 90s where at Spring Break, you heard rock. I went through Daytona last weekend during their Spring Break and it was full of punks and all hip-hop. What happened?

Also, someone mentioned about Shaq and Kobe and their rims, well about a couple weeks ago, Dwane Wade had his rims stolen which were valued at about 20Gs. I guess that was for 4 of them, but now a days, I wouldn't be surprised if that was 20 a piece.
