^Why does that matter? There are like 3 members that bought the same wheels as me after I did. He is in PA, you are in TX, you will never cross paths nor ever have someone mistake one car for the other. Id bet there is another white AC somewhere in the USA with the same exact wheels and they have never set foot in this forum, the world doesnt end with NICO.

I've been a member of this forum for a few weeks, I have never seen your post and i didn't know you had those wheels, I don't make it a mission to copy people, get over yourself man.

Thanks man,

You have to get the windshields from the dealer and they have to order them from canada, why they are not in the US is beyond me but they are nice to have in the rain, they run about $160.00

Doesn't matter! When you feel like you're making a unique decision that's going to set you apart from everyone else and find out someone else is doing the exact same thing why should you feel that you've made such an awesome decision? It's not as awesome and your new purchase isn't special anymore, it's just another one of the many.

If it was done intentionally thats one thing. But clearly you two both made independent choices. Although it does suck, it's no ones fault so relax. I wouldn't want to rock the same wheels as someone else but if it happens it happens. And actually I think a lot of people have this set up so sorry to burst your bubble. One could even say its your fault you're in this scenario for not thinking outside the box enough.

Not trying to be rude, just saying.

But on another note..

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, I'd feel the same way as you as far as wanting another set. I'd be trying to sell ASAP lol. Wouldn't even have the wheels on right now.

Was gonna say that as well. Getting butt hurt because you think someone who just happens to frequent the same forum as you bit your style is a little ridiculous. If you wanted to be "original" you wouldnt have bought wheels off the shelf and installed them as is.

Well like I said it wasnt my intention to copy, I've never seen this guys posts before. But this set was actually my 3 choice of wheels, the first 2 sets i wanted were out of stock for an unknown period of time. So no worries hopefully i wont be running these next summer, plus I'll run stockers from november- april for PA Winters.

I completely agree with Alex here. Actually, I agree with everything you said. I've seen accords (not trying to offend), eclipses, and a few subarus with those TSW on them. I agree that it does suck when 2 members have the same wheels, you can always change the color of it if you like or just sell them and jump on another set :gotme . I'm staying away from wheels with the letter "T". Also agree with DJ (rare), those TSW's, I've seen them on racks in performance shops. I liked the look of them at first glance, but I didn't like the lip when I did a double take. Chillax amigos, we're all bros here, it happens! :dblthumb:

Another way to look at it is like this. You wouldnt walk into a tattoo shop, pick a design OFF THE WALL, and expect no one else in the world to have that design, would you? If you are going to think like that then you ALL bit my style when you bought your AC bishes!

Lets get this thread back on track. OP, nice job with YOUR ride, YOUR wheels look great with the rest of the exterior mods YOU have done. Good work.

Instead of getting the reps save up and get the real deal and you will be the only one who has them like AlexM. Don't be getting all pissy because someone else got the same reps as you. Just my opinion in this situation. Me on the other hand i would only settle for the best and that's why i won't put anything on my car unless its the real deal.

You're trying to be original in a mass produced fwd coupe all while rolling on a low-mid range set of wheels? You have to pay to play for the kind of action you're hoping for.

The only thing that should matter is if you like your wheels, otherwise you'll be swapping out wheels every 3 months because someone else has the same setup. If it's any consolation, you've got an inch on him. :gapteeth:
