If you go shopping for new rims or just walk through any car meets today, you’ll notice a pattern. Grids, Slipstreams, TE37s, RPF1s, CE28s. Don’t get me wrong, all of these rims are solid choices and fit into the modern era of car culture. But something made me look back at wheels from the ‘80s. Compared to today’s designs, old-school rims were completely unique, bold, and had more personality in their own way.I first came across these rims while I was still restoring my Lancer Boxtype around 2018, digging through Facebook groups, the Kyushashoes website, Instagram, and listening to titos…

They say “your car is an extension of your personality.” For the average person, that might mean choosing a 4×4 to signal one’s adventurous spirit or a luxury sedan to show how successful someone is and just leave it at that. But for the car community, the sky’s the limit. Some express it through stance and fitment, track builds, or period-correct restorations. And then there are those who take it one step further—turning their cars into rolling declarations of what they love, who they are, and what fandom they belong to without any shame. This is the world of itasha…

Look, we get it. You love your car. You want it to stand out. But there is a very fine line between having taste and turning your car into a rolling safety hazard. Car accessories are supposed to enhance the driving experience, improve visibility, add protection, or make daily driving easier. Somewhere along the way, though, that idea got lost.
