bLinded_ Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Bosozoku is just plain dumb IMO. It's called "rice" if it is on a Civic and gets bagged to hell, but if the japs do it, then it is the coolest thing going. That being said, the wheels on the above car are a nice size. I think that amount of dish looks better than the 1' on the top photo of the Sakuras. Each to their own I guess :) Quote

LukeAE71 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Agree with Nick here, Boso can be damn cool. :) But imo the first car you posted doesn't do boso all that well. Still waiting for someone in Aus to do a Boso car. Some say they have, but I have not seen a true Boso inspired car in Aus. Quote
bLinded_ Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Mmm to me they both are very similar. They both have unnecessary ghey exhausts. They both have unnecessary large spoilers etc. Sure they are slightly differently inspired, but their wack cosmetic modifications look just as bad as each other. But as I said, each to their own. As for Aus Bosozoku cars, I saw a few pictures of a black TA22 which was border lining the Boso style. May have been on AE86DC? :) Quote

love ke70 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 how is this homo? i hope that was sarcasm, the only good thing on that car is the rims. and as was stated before, you can get them in pink or gold, so it doesnt have to be pink, but i think the pink looks good, not gay :) Quote
benzo Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Haha Marvis' Silly car is mad wouldn't call it pure boso, I don't think there will ever be true bosozoku style cars in Aus As for that TA22 there were pics of it on Auszoku somewhere On topic though, 14x8 -11 Techno's = :) Cheers, Ben.

love ke70 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 pretty sure we're not allowed to bag other people out, so i'm just going to say: wide wheels = heaps of grip :) they're for track racing track racers wouldnt run a rim that wide, or with that much offset, the load on the bearings would be insane, and the width of the rim/tyre, you would need a very heavy car to get enough weight on it to get any advantage, on a light car they would slow you down due to the massive amount of extra weight in the rubber, and on top of that, a tyre that wide on a light car can cause it to actually have less traction as there isnt enough weight across the area of it to get any force to the ground, would almost drive on water :P Quote

And then typed it out because I couldn't be bothered! You can use the racing excuse all you like but no way in hell a serious racer would be caught with a rim that wide on a car as small as a corolla. And for the record I think cherry blossoms are amongst the most ugly rims I've ever seen. Quote
godlovesugly Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 the celica you's are talking about is owned by FONZEY (something like that) on toymods. I'm a fan of his celica cause its different, ive seen enough celicas with simmons and 1ggte stuffed in them. Quote

OniBerserker Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 there is nothing wrong with a set of 14x8 -11, i think they were more refering to the excessive width of the 14x12's Quote
godlovesugly Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 yeah thats the on i was talking about. i like it. its pretty extreme for a car here but compared to those bozo cars its tame Quote
SLW42 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 you wouldnt wanna take that celica out any further then it would just start to look gay that is phat how it is Quote
