    Grow up, there was absolutely no insult in the post!

    Just because I said it would look like a "chav mobile" is down to my personal opinion of what it might look like nothing to do with the owner of the car.

    Jeez, chill out man. All I was getting at is black wheels and small bits of wrap don't make a car a chav wagon and labelling someone like that without knowing anything else about them makes you look like the immature one.

    Because internets, I give up on this thread now. And because I've done some serious growing up since writing this, I'm going to refrain from responding anymore on this topic.

    bye bye

    surely by describing the car as a Chav mobile you are labeling the driver a Chav,I also find it strange that you feel this is not an insult

    the car was made with some shadow line trim and also with some chrome trim which seems strange, surely it should be one or the other rather than a mix of both

    I am not a fan of black wheels on dark cars but it is not my car, the recommendation for using Lepsons is the way i would go, not used them personally but i know a few people that have and they are very happy with the results

    Why? Would the Jag look nice with Fuchsia wheels and Powder Blue trim?

    This would look good - but I think the wheels should be green.

    Lets all like the same things and have no personality! YAY!


    Always run with the herd. It is the ones that stand apart from the herd that get eaten first :D

    If your car looks the same as everybody else's you get away with a lot more than if your car stands out as unique ;)

    They cost a lot more to maintain and keep looking good.....

    LOL... This has turned into a pretty weird thread.
    People who equate black wheels to being/looking like a Chav... That says more about you, than it does about anyone else.

    They are not chavs - they are simply lazy people who don't want to spend time cleaning their wheels. ;)
