Either that or having them painted...

What I like to see is a paint job with the ghost effect (you know the ghost flames)...

The paint tut will be up as soon as I get more paint...

So are you calling me skillfully challenged? Look at my signature...I do post things, mainly in the model forum. I'd love to have some die cast hot rods but they are just so hard to find.

Basically my point is, is that it seems like every single model on here has DUB's, and nothing further. I would like to see some modifications that require more skill, maybe a body kit. Yes, body kits can be classified as ricey but at least it requires some more effort.
I never called you skillfully challenged, I have seen your work and I have been impressed. I would like to say that I have posted two models with bodykits. You can see them both in my signature. I've seen several other people post cars with bodykits as well.

I think alot of people don't have the skills neccesary to work out new bodykits or to finish paintjobs. Those two things also require alot more time than fitting on wheels. Wheels are pretty easy to fit on, for most of our member its as easy as a drill.

So don't criticize people for doing what they like. I don't think I, or any other people, have claimed that our cars with rims are anything amazing. They're wheel changes, nothing more. I'd furthermore like to note that there aren't many other options besides dubs. Those replacement wheels are the only readily availible source of rims that I know of so thats why you see alot of those. If I had more options I certainly would not be putting dubs on so many cars.
