Why People put 'Low Rider' Wheels on Super Cars?

Okay so nearly every garage I've been in has horrible looking cars. The average; a blue super car(Adder) with red 'Low Rider-Flare' wheels. Usually the car also has white wall tires and a musical horn. So why does everyone like the look of this crap?

Personally, IMO, they have absolutely no taste at all. They probably just like the white-walls.

Whitewalls on sports bikes, too. Every time I see a Bati 801 (motorcycle of choice for the "I don't actually give a sh*t about bikes but OMG FAST LOL" crowd) with whitewall tires, I die a little inside. Then they die a lot outside.

Looks like all their ( possibly hacked ) millions can't buy them a decent sense of style. Apparently,

 

Chrome - DA BEST and also, White-walls - ALSO DA BEST.

It's there own opinion don't judge others on how they make their character or vehicles. Worry about yourself and not others.

Not everyone.

 

Nice forum avatar, OP.

We're not making personal judgements about them. Their cars are f*cking hideous, though and we're free to comment on that.

I think the Low Rider wire wheels look good on a lot of vehicles including some Supers.

The contradiction is strong with this one.

No, it isn't. I've still made no statements whatsoever about their personal lives.

 

The comprehension is weak with this one.

I don't use Lowrider wheels on anything other than vehicles that have them as their stock wheels, however I do use custom tires on bikes because I feel that custom tires are better than stock.

Those cars are usually going by so fast that I don't have time to check out their wheels.

I don't like it either, but I can appreciate the fact that it's unconventional. I like it more when people try to do something creative (however horrible the outcome is) than when people try to recreate the real life version of a car. There's zero creativity in that, just pick whatever most closely resembles the real thing.

their garage, their rules

 

whether or not they choose to acknowledge that their car looks like sh*t to other people, well that's on them.

I can sort of understand whitewalls on something like a Bati with a matching white secondary stripe - go for carbon black (or whatever matches the tyre rubber) for the primary, and some solid matching black rims, and you've got a very striking monochrome, almost 'modern spin on art deco' look. But that's the exception that proves the rule...


In response to the OP, though, I get the impression that some folk really don't design their rides with any unifying 'look' - they'll take individual elements that look 'cool' (or are the most expensive/hardest to unlock - chrome, certain rims and paints, etc.), and slap together, regardless of the end result.

Which is ...fine, I guess - if you're desperate for your PVs to serve as driveable 'scorecards', showing your progress, then knock yourselves out (although most folk would probably get a better idea simply by looking at your rank or stats...). But I personally have more time, respect and appreciation for people who've clearly customised their PVs with a clear, unified design concept - be it a movie car homage, recreation of a real-life car, or even just a signature design motif.


In short, the best cars (IMO) are the ones where the end result is truly the sum of the individual parts - as opposed to being undermined by conflicting stylistic choices.

Why do people do it? For the same reason that I run around the game in a white disco suit....because it isn't reality.

I have a Midnight Blue Adder with normal Sportscar Rims.

I think it looks good,just because a lot of people like to put Baby blue on their cars doesn't mean their tastes are bad.

Personally I think they look ridiculous on supercars, but their reasoning could be because f*ck you.

I too dont get why they do it as it looks stupid to me. However if they like the look of ot then let them enjoy it as I'll probably never see that car or person again in GTAO.

What people choose to do in the privacy of their own garage is no business of mine.

Even though people's garages are their own business, the question was *why*, not *they shouldn't*.

Why? Because the differences in the wheel choices are solely aesthetic and people have differing tastes in what constitutes "nice". They aren't real -the cars, nor the tires, nor my concern as to what they do with either of them. Final answer: Different strokes, different folks.
