Ugly as sin, but for track wheels paint them black and run them.

I think youd change your mind with them on a car... just the fact they are 15 vs 16 for the ponys would make them look worse, unless you like that late 80s look.

Dude, didnt puberty hit you like 3-4 years ago? You seem like a total dick in pretty much everything you've posted lately. Drop the attitude, man. Nobody's calling you out, and if you're still pissed off that some people ragged on you for a while, get over it. Lots was deserved and lots wasnt, but don't come on SN where most people try to get away from pissy people and defecate all over any thread you feel like.

Just chill, dude.

To the OP, I think they are Riken rims or something. Either way, I'd do like 25th said. Spray em' black and throw some track tires on them. If its track only, might even be worth your while to see if those, 10-holes or turbines weigh the least. At least then you'll maximize the purpose of the wheel.

Thats why I said paint them black and use them for track rims. When he said he preferred them over ponys I assumed he was no longer referring to track wheels, and was talking in terms of street wheels. Might have been wrong, not sure, but that was my take on it.

Also to note, you can go fast and look good, noone says you have to have one or the other.

just ignore ryan. all he ever does is bitch and moan. if you like those wheels run em. personally I would look for a wider wheel like some beat up welds if I was going to run a DR. you'll see better traction.

Ok, but we're not mind readers. How are we supposed to know if you've been having a tough time? Honestly. Thats all I'm saying, Ryan. I've never been one of the guys on here to give you a hard time, but you gotta drop the attitude.

If you're having a tough time, start a thread. There are people on here that would give their honest best to try to help, but don't take out your ****ty day on the rest of us. Most of the people on here work for a living, we deal with *******s all day, we dont want to come online and be around another one. Know what I'm saying?

I've had 3 major surgerys in just 2008, no idea what your issues were, but we all have them.

Just remember if you bring that attitude on a forum, theres a good chance you could get banned. Granted if and when you actually have real life problems, the internet is the least of worries, it might suck when your back to better and cant visit your favorite sites anymore.

They resemble CSA 5-stars and I believe that is what they are after comparing looking at this picture and comparing them to a pic on another board. Supposed to be a rare and light wheel.

Well Ryan, I'd say positive affirmations will be your best friend at this point. If you get trapped in the misery of what if, then you're going to be ****ed up either way. I was told 3 years ago that I'd be a paraplegic within 6 months. I was told that they couldn't fix my pain or my back, and I told them they were wrong. Obviously back surgery is not on the same scale as potential cancer, but dont let it beat you before you're even sure.

And if it turns out that its something that you do have, then you'll be wanting all of the friends you can get.
