Figgie, not to jump on the band waggon, and try and look like im bashing you because u are stating your opinion about the "deffinition" of rice.
BUT
Like i posted before, the first O say 10,000 people who did these things to their cars, was, "artistic" to say the least, it was what they wanted to do.
But, people now a-days have turned it into, trendy. Its cool to put spinners on your car, its cool to make it look fast. for the people who rice out their cars and dont care for the speed or prefromance aspect of it, thats cool, but when people rice out their cars and don't know whats even powering the car itself, then that is rice.
hope that helps, explain the point of veiw i have on "ricers"
