The Rice Thread

Saw a totally messed up BMW 3-Series today which was the real definition of rice. Couldn't take pictures of it since it passed me on the Autobahn at high speed.


But I saw this while eating chow at Burger King (God bless America!).  :praise:






And this is not rice, but it's still a "what the fuck" moment.  :lol:

Did the E46 non-M3 coupe ever come with those headlights?

Never. Ever.

This guy is apparently trying to make his normal 3er look like an M3. His next paycheck will probably go to replacing the mirrors and frontal body kit with genuine M3 parts. :lol:

Aside from the grille that actually looks cool.

It's not an E500 or E55 AMG. The grille, headlights and the rims make it looks hideous. It's not rice but it still looks weird.  :tounge:

Even with these "cheap winter rims"?



If you've seen these rims in real life they look awful and cheap. And they can even make an E-Class look awful with their unwanted presence on one!  :tounge:

These are "el cheapo" MB winter rims specifically issued to taxi fleets "free of charge".

Yea... I agree... I've seen 330i ZHPs on their winter rims (they look like those)... 17" steelies, silver, looked awesome. I think Wimmer feels like anything not OEM = rice

You guys are ganging up on me just for the fun of it. I get it.  :lol:

In reality you think those boring emotionless rims are butt ugly, but you're just saying you like them to annoy me. I get it.  :thumbsup:

Not really, they can look great if pulled off right (as they appeared to have been on that W211)

I actually wanted silver 16" steel wheels for my first Accord, but couldn't find any in its bolt pattern (4x114.3)
