I wouldn't do it, but I don't consider that rice.

Well doesn't that mean rotas are bad then? I'm just sayin...

Nope, Rotas are still functional wheels and they don't say "Volk" on them. These are the equivalent of hubcaps with "Volk" on them.

the videos on the ebay link were pretty funny, because they were actually put on

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would want to draw attention to the fact that they have drum brakes. That's definitely borderline.

I actually saw a civic hatchback with these on the front calipers. He also had the rear calipers painted red.

Once I got back to work I immediately IM'd Ryan from Fine Line and told him my world had changed. Now this thread is happening, so I am wondering what's REALLY going on?!
