Being a 33 owner I might be seen as being biased, but I've owned two and they are my favorite line.
But I can see how to many people they seem 'bland'. The series one is ugly as all get out, but I truely do like the series 2.
Of course it does need to be slammed down a few mm's, and some wider rims. But with good stance and offset it can look the goods. The main thing that annoys me is that only the GTR's have widened rear fenders.
