and already attracting the unwanted attention....not from cops, but "ricers" and dumb people in general. as i was pulling out of my neighborhood. i noticed a black car a few cars behind me as i was making the left turn from the stoplight. i looked in my rearview and i thought that looks kinda nice. this was about 7-8 carlengths ahead of him. he sees my new wheels and hears exhaust and mustve though to himself "im sooooo gonna race this guy". the problem with that is he had a supra. he starts winding up, approaching fast in my rearview. i'm just thinking to myself "c'mon man, your car has twice the hp and then some. (removed) is he doin showin off his **** " what the heck was he expecting? me to pullout a magic trick from my sleeve?as for the D.A's it was this one random car, looked like a early 90's-ish dodge intrepid. we're at a stoplight(both in front) and about 100 or so yds. was the onramp for a highway. this just outright baffled me. lights green and....*click-copy-paste*he sees my new wheels and hears exhaust and mustve though to himself "im sooooo gonna race this guy". i dont even launch hard or anything..ive got an auto fer cryin out loud! he guns it and takes off. jaw drops to the floor in dumbfoundedness. i wasnt even getting on the highway. i continued on the frontage....and thats the story of the first day i got wheels! here's the pic ......try to get one on the car though. later.

Those are some nice rims Mike! I like the black with the Lava...looks kinda like what I got on mine .http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=23310And I get the same problem too here in Phx...there was a C6 the other day revving his motor at a light after I pulled up with the new rims. I musta seen this guy 100 times before and he never did that...until the rims

(removed). well he got caught up in traffic just down the road. and i caught up to him. he was in the left lane, i, in the right. the road made this 90` s-curve. after getting through that the car in front of him was going slow but the car in front of me and i were accellerating faster. now im a safe driver, i keep a cars distance apart when accelerating incase guy in front of me slams his brakes. this azz takes it as an oppertunity to "win the race". he swerves over in front of me into my lane, guy in front knows its time to get outta the way, he accelerates then cuts off the other slow car and zips off.whatever he was trying to prove to me, it only proved any simple minded person can make a car go fast if youve got the money for that kind of car, but why you gots ta drive like a jurk?those wheels look sweet dude. the red groove, very subtle. its cool at night the body looks like its floatin in air.

Wow, that looks really good!

They see a Vibe with wheels and hear an exhaust and they automatically assume Rice... or is it Race?

Well, it's no secret how new, snazzy wheels can add upwards of, oh, say 100 ponies under the hood of any given car -- so no wonder why they wanted to race. hehehe
