OMFG that video from M4H is hilarious!

Given that your comp is decent and that you have a new car, but its wheels are nasty steel and hub caps I'd probably go with some new wheels. I just don't think I'd get those particular ones...Or, I can sell you a jensen sub, amp, and box for your accord. Let's say $150 shipped? :D

Thank Iron Woode for capturing it as well, and of course, Kellogg's Corporation for heartedly embracing the culture of the Riceboy. :D

You mean the old battlea... erm, MrsSkoorb ;) ... isn't letting you put it in your ride?

Oh don't worry, the sentra is going to POUND tomorrow, God willing (that's when the sub/amp/box I bought from OS should arrive. I paid much less than $150 though so I was just playin with him ;)).

Once that 12 inches of love in inserted deep into the back of the sentra, there will be a hearty pounding.

I'll be referred to on my street fondly as "That a-hole with the loud stereo". j/k :)

If you really don't need to upgrade your computer, just save your money for a hot deal...

Anyway, it would only take a few minutes to steal those $350 rims off your car, no matter how good or ugly they looked...

No one is going to waste time stealing stock Accord wheels.

WTF is wrong with stock rims and tires ?

it's a helluva step up from fuggin donuts. Maybe he wants to keep the stock look appearance without the donuts but rather upgraded rims.

It doesn't lose value like it does Computer Components and If he's worried about getting them jacked, he can invest like 20-30 bucks on wheel locks.

PLUS IT COMES WITH TIRES~!!!!

I think it is hysterical that most of the replies are

rims = chicks = sex
LOL!

From a old woman's perspective... Well, if you buy puter parts, they will be obsolete and worth much less in 6 months... rims will not depreciate but are not as much fun as puter parts....

In the end, buy whatever will INCREASE the value of what you already have and will not be wasted money a 6 months down the road!

I agree. It's funny that so many of you equate women with....rims? 95% of girls don't give a sh!t what rims are on your car. It's a fvcking Accord. You don't buy accords if you are getting a car to get pussy. If you have a girl, and own an accord, chances are she is with you for some real reasons, and not for the fact that you drive a honda econombox like 35% of other people on the road.

My daughter listens to a song that says:

"girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money"
"The girls with the bodies like boys with ferrarrs"

I dunno 'Square, I don't think the 6th gen wheels would look right on your car. Just save a bit more and get some 17's, along with the drop:cool: Btw, you even said yourself you spend all your time on the computer job hunting anyway, wtf do you need more speed for?

rims and tires != speed. And wtf would you need wider stickier tires on an accord for?

Uhm, believe it or not an Accord is fairly decent handler right from the factory. Don't get my started on those bloated Camrys.
