Nobody in their right mind would put those boat anchors on their FD! BTW, did you even bother to search? No you didn't!

satoacs

show me somewhere where you have found the specs of these wheels. i have looked and only found the sizes. i was asking who is runing them becuase i was wanting to know how much they weigh and what they look like on an FD.

i was lookin at the Sparco NT...somethins and i was tryin to find them. its hard to find the rght wheel, thats why i keep posting these threads. each time you come and do this, just answer the question rather than telling me i didnt search even though yuo have no idea if i did or not. if the question doesnt apply to then dont post. its easy enough not to go through and post in every one of my threads.

im tired of this. im not going to leave unless you get me kicked off this forum. my questions arent as stupid as you make them out to be. my questions are more intelectual than a lot of the other threads that ppl start on here. go post in those for a while and leave me alone. just let me learn some stuff. im not 27 yrs old like you.

You would have found out if you did a search, but you didn't, didn't you?

You know you didn't.

If the search button works, then click it.

And BTW, looks here like you're being a hypocrite.

Then go away. And make sure the door don't hit your big head on the way out!

I beg to differ. And judging by the little red square next to your post count, the consensus is that you're an idiot.

satoacs

all you do is tell me that i dont search. you show me somewhere where you can find the specs on those wheels.

i said that because even i found that, that was a thread where i know he couldve found out the answer by searching and he clearly didnt.

if you wanna tell me that i "clearly didnt" search then show me where i can find out the specs of these wheels. then ill believe you, i dont know that theyre "boat anchors" becuase i couldnt find the specs. dont tell me i didnt search because i did. i do every time, you dont know otherwise so shutup.

wtf?! ur come backs are getting worse and worse, you sound like a little kid. first of all youve never seen me, so you dont know if i do have a big head. second of all how ****** big does ur head have to be to hit it on the way out of a door? youd have to either have a big head or ud have to be retarded, which one are you?

like i said before that little red square means nothing. you may rate me down on things, but ur the one of a ver few group who find it necessary to do so. the comments on those are just plain stupid. all it is is a little box that you use to take cheap shots at people you dont like. besides that it means absolutely nothing.

thats bullshit. you and a few others are the only ones that think im an idiot. im just trying to learn something, all you, and the other few people, do is make it a little harder to find the information and try to discourage me.

Guess what? *I* did a search on Maido wheels and there were only a whopping 2 threads on this whole forum - *this* one, and the other was in reference to someone who has them on his RX-8. If you knew that, then you could deduce that 1) no one here has these wheels, and 2) you wouldn't bother to ask.

As for these wheels being "boat anchors", there is an unspoken rule that any wheel w/ chrome is going to be a heavy one.

The least you could do is at least be smart about looking for wheels for this FD you don't have. Consider brands that most people have (Volk, Gram Lights, Fikse, CCW, SSR, Work, BBS, Kinesis, 5Zigen, Blitz, et al.), because you'll know that these companies have a fitment for the FD, and the specs will be available, unlike these shitty, ugly wheels that you're always finding.

True, I've never seen you, but I don't have to, to figure you for a dumb ***.

Oh, it takes a LOT more than a "few others" to mark you down to a red square. More like 10-20.

just because theres no posts by people that doesnt mean that they dont have them. i was just making sure. its not like i can go to a retailer and ask them questions about it. they wont know how it rides, all they will be able to tell me is the size and weight. if no one had them then this thread shouldnt have any replies.

chrome is heavy i knew that, but its not heavy enough to be "boat anchors". its not the smartest way to go if u want good track times, but oh well. it may be heavier than wheels that arent chrome, but you can find chrome wheels that arent heavy. there are some wheels out there that are only coated in chrome to keep the weight down.

you keep going back to the fact that i dont have this car, that doesnt matter. there are plenty of people on this forum who dont own an rx7. at least im being "smart about" it and planning ahead. im figure out what im gonna get before i go out and spend money on something that im not gonna want to keep.

i did look at those brands and for the most part i dont like them. there are plenty more brands out there. you suggest CCW i did and posted a queston about it and you thought it was necessary to tell me that the wheels i asked about were ugly.....

how does seeing what someone looks like tell you anything about intelligence. go ahead and tell me that im stupid and try to discourage me from all this, i dont care im still going to do it. if youstill feel its necessary to keep coming back and doing this then go ahead, its not gonna stop me.

10-20? whered u get that number? ive been rated down 3 times and one grey one, i havent bothered to figure out what that grey one is.

satoacs

and now you or someone else rates me down one more time

Sure you can. Type in "maido wheels" or "maido st5" in Google or Yahoo!, find a Maido vendor online and give them a call.

Other than myself posting, this thread *has* no replies. Hello!

You totally missed the point on this one. With these kinds of wheels, the emphasis is on the "bling factor", not weight, not purpose, not build quality or construction, and more often than not, these wheels will be heavy because weight will not be a priority in its design. For example, a CCW Modular wheel in race trim will lack center caps, have extra holes drilled in it, and use lightweight fasteners all in an effort to shed weight. Maido-type wheels won't have this type of "engineering" built into it.

Sure it does. You waste bandwidth making bullshit posts all the time, especially when you can find the answers if you bothered to searched, which I've brought up MANY times. Do you ever listen? Nooo!

I was referring to the SUV wheels you wanted for your imaginary FD. As for CCW, your thread asked for 19" and 20" wheel fitments, and you lied about calling CCW, saying a dumb *** answered the phone and couldn't tell you anything. Whatever...

It's your dumb posts that give your ignorance away.

From what I understand, everyone is given a +10 in reputation points on the forum at the get-go, and every time a post of yours is "disapproved" of, 1 point is taken away. So, at the minimum, you'd have to have at least 10 people disapprove of your posts to turn your reputation icon red.

Wasn't me. And you thought I was the only person here that dislikes your posts???

But to be honest, I did neg. you one time, and it was for that big stereo thread in the Interior/Exterior section last year. I tried to give you many more, but I wasn't allowed to do it.

satoacs

i dinn say you were the only one that dinn like my posts. i even said "you or someone else"

well im glad to hear that you only did it one time. i just tried it to see if it would let me do it to you, but it doesnt, ive never done it to you though
