- [Greg] The first question is from Ching Ching.
(laughter)
Cheap wheels with high-end tires
or high-end wheels with cheap tires?
- What do you think?
- Okay, phew, okay, alright.
It depends.
- No it doesn't.
- Well, can I-- - Go ahead.
- Can I even just talk?
- Go ahead, go ahead.
I'm sorry, I'm just giving you a hard time.
- That's shocking.
Anyway, I think if you're gonna
use the car more,
I would go with the more expensive tires,
but I think on a more personal level,
I would end up going with
the nicer wheels, just because
that's what most people see, usually.
I mean, some people do,
but usually, people won't go up
to your friggin' tire and be like,
oh my god, what is that?
But people notice your wheels,
and they do that to your wheels
from like 30 feet away anyway,
so I'd probably go with the wheels.
- I would probably go with the tires,
and I think just working here
has given me that idea,
because I care a whole lot more
about what tires are on cars now
than I do just wheels,
because if I see, like,
a set of XXRs,
but then he's running Pilot Sport 4Ss
or something like that,
I know that he's doing something with his car
and he just wants good grip
and he doesn't really care about the wheels.
Some people are about that.
- [Greg] Question two is from Yassen Daniels.
German engineering or Japanese engineering?
- On three.
One, two, three.
German. - Japanese.
- You're so wrong.
Tell me why I'm wrong.
- I mean, okay-- - Why don't you tell me
why I'm wrong?
- Here's the thing.
I don't really think either is wrong.
Alright, yeah. - Alright.
- Blah, blah, blah.
- Come on, give me a-- - I don't know!
- Give us a reason. - I just like Japanese better!
I just do, it's just my opinion
and what I like better,
I just like those cars better. - That's fair.
- It's just my opinion.
- Well, that's what this whole series is based on.
I would say German,
I just like German interiors,
I like German cars more,
I like AMGs and M series and things like that,
I just think they're awesome
and, like, they're like the dude that,
I don't know, it's like having
a three-piece suit on,
and just looking fine, looking functional, ready to roll.
And not that the Japanese market isn't that,
but I always feel like
the Japanese culture is like,
the Paul Walker-- - [Claire] Yep, Yep.
- [Alex] The cool, collected-- - [Claire] Exactly.
- Relaxed, chill kinda guy,
and the German market is like
the first Transporter movie, so.
- I just, one thing I don't really like
all that much about German engineering
is there's so many little, finicky things
that seem to go wrong on a lot of German cars.
- That's true.
- And that's something I don't really like.
- That's true.
Moving forward.
- [Greg] Question three is from Maxwell,
would you rather own a donk
or drive a car that scrapes on leaves?
- Claire, you go first.
- Okay, I would rather drive the car
that scrapes on leaves,
because there's no way you're ever
gonna catch me driving a donk around.
I can appreciate the amount of work
that can go into a donk,
like, there's a lot of work
that goes into some of them,
but that is just not my thing, at all.
- I would rather have a huge car
on some big old wheels. (laughter)
Just for no other reason
than to see what it's like,
because I've driven some lowered cars before,
so I know what that experience is,
and I know how painful it is.
I think it'd just be funny, it'd just be fun.
- You could drive through flood.
- [Alex] Yeah, put some 26s, some 28s on it,
lift her up to the sky,
and then just bomb around.
I don't, I mean, put some
Vision Morganas on that bad boy,
and just call her good.
- Have you seen the one around town?
On blades? - Oh, yeah.
- Every time I'm like, huh.
- [Alex] Yeah, I mean, it's not bad.
Next question, Greg?
- [Greg] Question four is from Monti Knows It All,
Vinyl wrap or paint job?
- That's hilarious, that somebody's username
is Monti Knows It All,
because I know a Monti.
And it's funny, because he would definitely
have the username Monti Knows It All.
I would say, paint versus wrap,
is that the question? - Yes.
- I would say paint,
I've always liked paint more,
I've always felt like paint is like,
the true way to do it.
I love wrap though,
there are so many cool things
you can do with wrap
that you can't do with paint,
that I just appreciate so much,
and there's lots of cool cars that are wrap.
I don't think it's like
wrap is bad, paint is good,
wrap is great, I just like paint more.
It's just one of those things
that I think because it requires more work,
it's more tedious, it's more intricate,
it's more difficult to like do the high-end stuff with,
versus, not that wrap is easy,
but I don't think it's as difficult as paint,
is why I like paint more.
- I also like paint more,
I like the depth, I like working with it a lot better,
and a lot of people have that misconception
that wrap is super easy and carefree,
but it's actually kinda a pain in the butt,
because once you scratch that,
it's not like you can buff it out,
or anything like that. - Yeah.
Well, that and certain wraps
will actually peel off your clear too.
- Yeah, if you don't prep it right.
- Especially over a long period of time,
if you don't prep it right, it will.
- So, it's a little, like,
as far as wrapping cars, it's a little,
if I don't, like, know the shop
that's doing it very well, or their crafts,
I'm a little leery on it, - True.
because it's a little sketchy sometimes.
- Next question, Mr. Greg.
- [Greg] The fifth question is from Eric Girbach,
it is cheap wheels with perfect fitment
or high-end wheels with (bleep) fitment?
- Ooh. - Wow.
- You said a bad word. - Wow.
Ah. - I know the answer.
- See, no, because I'm arguing with myself
internally right now--
- So there's like two of you right now?
- There's two mini versions of me right now
talking about this pros and cons system right now
inside my noggin.
- It's a double-edged sword,
because it kinda sucks either way.
- The thing is is that I've seen cars
that have nice wheels
that have pokey fitment,
and it immediately disinterests me.
- Really?
- Like, high-end wheels
that don't have proper fitment,
I really don't care about.
- Like, bad poke, or the little aggressive poke?
- No, no, no, I'm okay with like
a little muscle car poke-- - Yeah.
- I'm talking about like two inches of accidental poke,
because they thought it was a 35 offset,
and then they got a 15 offset,
and they're like wait a minute, what?
You know, that's the stuff
I'm not a huge fan of.
I would probably go with
perfect fitment. - [Claire] Yeah.
Now that you brought that up,
and I'm having like flashbacks
of these cars in my head,
I would probably go with the perfect fitment.
- Because I don't think there's ever been a time
that I've looked at expensive wheels,
and they've been bad fitment,
and been like, yes, I still dig it.
- Yeah.
- But I've looked at cars
that don't have the best wheels
that have perfect fitment
and I've been like, oh that's killer,
that's killer. - Yeah.
You see that bad fitment,
you're like what is going on,
I'm gonna slowly back away from this.
- And there are some cars that look great
with perfect fitment that you would never expect,
like cars like Mazda I think looks killer
with those wheels
and I would have never anticipated that.
- [Claire] No. - [Alex] With those wheels.
So, alright, sorry, next question, Greg.
- [Greg] Three piece wheels
or an iconic wheel like the TE37?
- That's a good one.
- That's a really good question.
Would you rather have the best wheel of all time pretty much
or would you rather have the trendiest wheel of all time?
Right now. - You wanna go first?
- You wanna go first?
- I would think I would pick the iconic wheel.
I'm just, I like three piece wheels,
they're cool, but it's not something
that I like really want or need.
Because if I have a really good, iconic one piece,
I am perfectly okay with that.
- Yeah, I think,
so I went from three piece to rotary forged wheels,
just for the winter,
and like, no part of that bothered me.
I don't think, even with trends,
I don't think you'll ever keep something long enough
for the trend to go out of style.
- [Claire] Right.
- [Alex] Volk T37s are an iconic wheel,
I still think I'd probably choose multi-piece wheels.
- [Claire] Oh really?
- [Alex] And here's why,
and the conservative part of me
wants to say iconic,
because those are forever,
but I'm not gonna own a car forever, right?
- True.
- Plus, if you wanna try something new,
what do you have to lose?
- True.
- So I would choose a three-piece wheel
because there's so many cool things
coming out right now,
because there's so many different styles of wheel,
not so much to tell people
that it's a three-piece wheel,
but more just to have the form.
- Yeah.
- You can do so many cool things
with multi-piece wheels,
the floating spoke, hidden hardware.
- Yeah.
- You give it a really clean, almost naked look,
where all it is is the face,
and there's no hardware ever on the whole thing,
and then you do no step lip,
you just keep it, like, outer lip, inner barrel nothing,
I think that's like the cleanest three-piece wheel look
you can go for,
it doesn't look, in my eyes,
it doesn't like ricey,
because I think the hardware is gonna
go out of style in a couple years
and people are gonna go away from all of that,
but I still think it'll look good.
I'll go with the multi-piece.
I know, that was weird.
- We're actually, like,
going against each other.
Usually we get shit in the comments for--
- Agreeing on everything?
- Yeah.
- Well, I mean, you own a muscle car, so.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Exactly. - What the hell?
