Guest GTPChris Guests Posted 28/09/04 03:58 AM Share Posted 28/09/04 03:58 AM (edited) Dazza,Similarly, what one person thinks is rice, another may not. A hyundai excel is not a performance car, why would you put performance tyres on it? To me rice is the false economy of paying the unnecessary expense thinking it will increase the performance of your car. A nice set of 18's will set you back more than the cost of the Excel without any real performance gain. It's RICE.

Try something original, not something that is a ripoff of something else you are pretending to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is an XT Flacon or an Executive Commodore, but would you call them rice for putting 18's on them?Dazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean it is try hard as I have hosed more than a few GTs, the element of suprise is better than the look of the stripes IMOBeware the phantom hoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of the ultimate sleeper vehicle. ie XT with Turbo and stage II APS. You'd need 18" wheels on a car like that to match it's performance.IMO - 18's on a stock Falcon or Late model camira is borderline rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRBloke Donating Members 1,219 Member For: 21y 4m 14d Posted 28/09/04 11:38 PM Share Posted 28/09/04 11:38 PM Borderline rice?What a load of sh*t..... Ive seen plenty of XT Falcons with 18's on them and they go just as good as they look... 182 KWs really isnt slow compared to 5 years ago. As if said before in previous threads, who really cares what other people do, that's their business. I for one wouldnt mind putting a bonnet buldge on my NA, yet everyone would say that's crap / rice... The only reason I didnt buy an XR8 or an XR6 T was because im too young to get insurance, so does that mean I can't enjoy the looks of a bonnet bulge? People do things for a reason, Its not just because we cant afford the real deal or because we are trying to shortcut the system and have something nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
