The pink is a little too much for me. Fake vs Real will always be a debate. I choose to buy real ones, but hey that's me and not them. As long as people aren't rockin' Rotas and putting Volks stickers or telling everyone they are real I have no problem. Not everyone can afford it, that's life.

Take a look at that mod list, there is nothing but engine upgrades... No brakes, no suspension, no safety, nothing. Some might look down on that, or the fact he buys parts for purely cosmetic reasons. If someone made a thread about STICKERS slamming people that can't turn, there would be a bunch of hostility in it too.
Welcome to the tuning world, every part on his mod list is now worth a fraction of its origional MPRP.
Yes, yes I am. Our 3,000 pound cars can run an 18x10.5 with just a little roll and pull. You'll need those to properly run grown up sized tires. But hey, pink stickers are WAY cooler bro.

NOthing to say thats already been said. I wonder what Rota haters and Expensive wheel haters say when an owner owns both?
The whole if you could afford them you woulda bought them goes right the **** out the window then hunh.
Nice Andy. As always. I giggled when I saw this.

To everyone posting in this thread: you really have to know Shunder to know this is right in line with his personality. Shunder just loves to work on cars. He has done all his own work (including paint and headlight mods) and helps all us local boys with whatever we need, whenever we need. IMHO he is the definition of what makes our scene great. He cares not for fashion or popularity, only what looks good to him, and has quite a sense of humor (take his license plate frame for instance)! This is all done just to mess around and all in good fun. Knowing Shunder these stickers will be gone in a couple weeks and he'll move on to respraying the calipers or valve cover just to tinker with something. And that is what this is, a reason to tinker with something and poke a little fun at a very expensive wheel that everyone loves. He's not claiming that Rota is better or Volks suck, it's just simple ribbing like when SNL pokes fun at a celebrity's laugh or hair cut.
In short, I luv ya "A", keep doing your thing, as long as it's my calipers cuz they need a respray baaaad! LOL

Thanx for the kind words. It's kinda funny to me that I've got people taking my back on this but don't worry guys y'all know I don't give a damn what anybody thinks. I built my car for one person and that's me. If I like it and it makes me happy then I'll do it. End of story.

thats awesome, i saw a civic with REAL volks and he had a license plate frame that said "I love your fake wheels" funny thing is that his real $4000 wheel and tire package cost a quarter of the price of his car!!!!

My wheel and tire package retails out to be close to the blue book value of an EVO IX. EVO VIIIs are getting so cheap a new set of Rotas with good tires are almost worth a quarter of those. What's your point?
