Is it a bit gay to buy the same wheels as a mate?

Default Is it a bit gay to buy the same wheels as a mate?

Right, me mate has got some Arospeed rims on his scoob and I kinda like em so was thinking of gettin some for the cossie just in a different colour.
It just doesn't seem right going out and buying the same rims less than a month after him.
Am I being stoopid or is it ok and not really gay to be a copy cat??

Do what YOU want to do m8.

If these are the wheels you want, get them and be proud of them, if your mate thinks you're just "keeping up with the Jones' ", then he's not a mate or needs to sort his life out.

Go for it then despite what a lot of folks say on here gay is a sexual tendency m8, nothing to do with the wheels you have on your car Unless they're bright pink that is

Get some piccies up when you're done.

Think I will tbh. I photoshopped em earlier and they looked pretty fine even with my crap effort at that sort of thing. Next step is convincing 'er in doors I DO need new wheels

Them's the ones in silver though, or maybe black I can't decide. ET40 according to the ad but I'm gonna call to find out. Don't like internet shopping for that kinda cash. I think they're £650 in silver and £700 for hyper black

Make sure you get Arospeed ones mate, cos there are copies out of em, you can tell by the fact arospeeds have 8 bolt holes, copies have 4!!

Steve's are a bargain!!
