the popos dont a give a rats a** about neon.....im at stop lights at night and right next to a cop, they just dont care....they have better things to do than to pull people over because of vehicle lighting (cough murders/ real crimes!!!) =)

that dosent make it legal.................that just means its a "feel good law"
feel good law: a law not strictly enforced but used only as a defence incase something bad happens,
examples: helmet laws, no powered rec. vehicles on side walks (dirt bikes, go-peds, mopeds)
once in a while you will be writen up for one of these laws...but only to make sure people remember its still a law. i rode BMX for about 5 years, and even before that i was on a bike since i was 3, and i never got pulled over.

one other questions, this time about a particular brand of 17's...i know iknow this isnt cosmetic, but since the subject is here, is RIAX a good brand for rims?

never heard of them. i wouldn't trust them.

let me ask you this: what price range are you looking at JUST for the set of 4 rims, not including tires?

based on that answer, I can tell you if you'll get a decent set of rims new or a POS no-name brand.

what im trying to say, is it a good idea to get 18inch rims? consider a show factor, and daily driving factor (although the roads around here arent that bad)

Ill vouch personally as I have driven both. 18s for daily are not fun. 17s are much better. 18 inch tyres are much more expensive and since they will be thinner, is it safe to assume that you could damage a rim much easier. 18s are also ass heavy. if you want show, ide get 17s, if you want speed, then 15s or 16s are the way to go.

my price range for rims including shipping are 300$-450$ ... but it doesnt make a difference anymore, i asked the seller on ebay --who originally was selling the ADR S-07R rims (17inch), and then took them off of ebay all of a sudden-- to repost them and he did, and im bout to buy them...=)...292$ + 135$ ship & insured....not bad

 

[rselah25]

thanks for all the advice and stuff guyz....yea, maybe if my car wasnt a daily driving car, id go 18's...but safety and damage to rims are important when driving everyday (40 or so miles)....so 17's will do me great...

blah blah

rselah, good luck in whatever rims you choose. if you need help choosing tires, feel free to start another thread or look thru the info here or whatever.

this thread is done.
