I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I agree, go cheap you get cheap. Ive seen some rotas straight up crack from just autox. But thats b/c they arent as strong as their forged counterparts.

black is played out big. i look at my polished black fno1r-c's and sometime hate them cause everybody is rockin the look. but i personally like it. i guess thats why there are powdercoater's out there. what about something bronze with that color?

that's cool. Everyone has their own opinions and I respect that. I personally would rather get a cheaper knock off rim and curb the shit out of that than to curb an expensive rim. But for rims that I, like most people, will end up selling in a few years, I prefer to go cheap.
