That's about as un-rice as it gets, a bit on the boring side, even

But what's the verdict on this, the plan for what my car will look like in the end?



I mean... we've got a big "go faster" stripe, big rear spoiler, a wide body kit that makes the car almost wider than it is long, eyebrows for god's sake... Sounds like rice, right?

IMO, to "unrice" that car, you need to ditch the riceboy wing, ditch the stripe, have the wheels either be silver or black, and lose the eyelids. That car stands out like a riceboy's car does, and ultimately, you'd be looked at as a ricer where I live with that car. White wheels and matching white stripe=surefire in cognito ricer.

Nimble,
Why is having white wheels on a red car rice? If that is the case there are many Mini Coopers that are rice when they are still stock. Why is black okay then?

Also, I would think that a nice set of white rims are less rice than the stock hub caps that most of us have. Afterall, isn't rice when you have somthing that pretends it is something that it is not?

here is a little of what is rice, what is not.... but as for the MINI and the white wheels, it is not rice because it is stock, now you throw white aftermarket wheels on a red MINI... that is rice... black wheels are not rice, because they are not flashy, and rolling stock steelies pretending they are black aftermarket wheels IS rice
