If someone offered me sigs or GTS rims at the right price I'd take em..... Wouldn't mean that I'm a sheep, just means I know I like that wheel.... One off wheels & rare-ish rims normally cost an assload too so that would normally push everyone back to the norm.... Norm is good!
thats a fair enough point. but theyre still way too common. and theres plenty of mass produced rims that arent common or stupidly expensive.
With your custom bar issue, it's all about how you pull it off - Honestly I think your issue is that you show your bars whilst they are being built & then they never actually get completed. My opinion (not that it should matter to anyone) is that you should think of your idea, build it, finish it THEN realise photos etc etc Because when people see a primed & plastic welded bar half finished they don't see the possible brilliant idea behind and just see two bars frankinsteined together....
End rant lol
and i wasnt referring to myself in my post of bumpers n kits with people being called RICE. what i was meaning, was people are either afraid to try in fear of being called rice, or they have no imagination and just go for the sheep option in the form of the readily available and well overdone hsv kit. the commodore scene is mostly the same old thing in a new colour or with an LS1 ......
as for my ideas, about 10% get tried, and 1 of those ten might get finished. i have way too many ideas for one person to try and accomplish. i need my own custom shop+staff but dont have the money....
