just my $.02



I really like Sinji's setup's though, especially the fno1rc's.

I hate stretched tires.... although your current setup I don't consider stretched, all those VW's and the BMW's are stupid looking though. Function first.

I don't like stretched tires either. If it wasn't for the fact that they're too tall, I'd run a 285 tire just to get rid of the stretch that I do have. I prefer tires to sit nearly straight flush with the wheel. Mine are well within reason though.

Ok, but what does that have to do with tire sizes?

i had my brother's Z for about a month.
he lent me his Z with these wheels instead of the nizmo rims.
i hated them and was throughly ashamed to be seen with them.
especially when i took it to the local autocross.




screw "to each his own"!
its damn ugly, its stupid and i hate it and my first impression of anyone who has them is.... i'm wont be getting along with that person.

if you can't afford proper tires to fit your rims, you can't afford those damn rims!! just like the fool who buys a ferrari but cant afford to have it's oil changed.

rims and tires are a packaged pair. you can't have one without the other.
so the excuse of stretching tires on a rim so the wheel can fit on a car is the same as wearing snowboarding socks with dress shoes. they must fit as a package. if one doesn't fit, then they both don't fit. rims are too big for the car. same as the spoiler being too big for the car.

i don't like it. i hate it. when i see it on the road, i loose respect for the car/owner. done
