Lol for anybody that watches MTV, they made this commercial a lil while ago bout how the word "bling" became a fad. Two rapers put it in their song and then a lot of black people started complimenting their jewelry and expensive cars as "bling" then when white people started copying them, it said "bling" RIP year-year (forgot the years it was made and expired) And i dont blame them for makin a commercial like that seeing how half the people that posted here didnt know exactly what it meant even though they say it

1) I don't come here for Urban Education, I come here because this is a Mustang site. 
2) What's the point of this thread? :scratch:
3) Saying an American-African's 'black' doesn't make you a racist, it means you're not politically correct... and that is NOT a bad thing.
4) 20's on a Mustang can look good, if the right tire, the right wheel, and on the right car. This is a hard combo to achieve, which is why most times it looks like crap. But, spinners on a Mustang will always be worthy of a beating!
20's on a Dodge Ram look fine, it's called proportion!
5) ponygt - best post in this pointless thread. ponygt's right, and I can only imagine this fad will end soon. Remember how cool headlight blackouts used to be?
6) CRAP! - I'm 27 and already middleaged!

How about we sub "bling" for tacky.
I for one, do not want to sound or suggest that I look like an uneducated thug.
Look at the big (and sometimes fake) "diamonds" that rappers wear.
Tacky.
HUGE or SMALL wheels with tons of chrome and jewels and spikes = TACKY.
I do not need to be "educated" on a slang word. Especially one that belongs to a group of individuals that pride themselves in sounding uneducated and unclassy.

I made the misread comment so that no-one scans your post and takes it the other way.

Surfn, I think he means misread the last part "a group of people who pride themselves in sounding uneducated..."
Someone may misread that as black people rather than just ghetto, disrespectful, unmotivated people, regardless of race.
Is this thing locked yet?

Exactly. Thought if I put my comments there, it'd reduce the chances of that happening.Why lock the thread? No-one's fighting and the phrase in question is oft used on the site. Might not be so bad to discuss, so long as civility remains?

I believe this topic was made because of this topic.... http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=22578
I agree that some 20s look good and some don't....this is the same way I feel about 17s,18s, and 19s. But as far as the word bling that was over with a long time ago. Matter of fact I didn't see the word for quite sometime until you all started using it on this thread.
As far as giving your negative opinion, I don't think everyone posts pics to have their car put down by others. If they ask for a opinion give it, and if they don't...as the old saying goes....if you don't have anything positive to say don't say anything at all.

Well I thought it was a word used mostly from black people. Last time I heard it was recently on TV when a black actor said he got some bling-bling going on and pointed to his gold tooth. LOL. No joke. Sicne then I i have always related bling equal to something that is very shinny in terms of the black language. By the way I am being very honest here and I am not racist for those that may want to turn this around.
