Stretched tires = rice
Pulled fenders, 9+" wheels, low offset, street tires = rice

I can't wait for this to go away. Seems like I'll be waiting awhile...

Lulz - Back in the 80's we called it ghetto when you saw it on Chevys and Fords.

Found these pics in another thread.

^ hahaha looks like philly streets

I agree the hellaflush fad is wackarnolds (for you chappelle fans)

My friend had a very tastefully modded RSX type-s and now has the "helladeush" look. He cant even make full turns. It looked 10 times better when he was going for the JDM look. I saw his car a few weeks ago and literally face palmed. His fenders are rolled and pulled and he still mangled them to almost death. Mind you this is only in a few weeks timespan. Philly streets + hellflush= hellafukED

I don't get it, but I'm pretty sure it's because I'm old. I think most of the people posting in this thread are old. Once upon a time we weren't old and we did weird things to our cars that old people couldn't understand.

I get that. Hellaflush isn't for me, but it's ok.

I'm 19 and think hellaflush is retarded, so I honestly don't think its just an age thing. I agree that flush wider wheels look good, but the hellaflush is nasty looking. So I say its rice. I also can't wait until people stop doing this to the s2000, such a disgrace. I'm really surprised alot of your guys hate it, I sometimes see ones in the gallery that I think look like crap and overdone, and alot of people loved it. Thank goodness it seems like its starting to wear off, at least in the s2k scene.

Sidewalls grip better than tire tread duh!
......
I think it only looks good on those VIP cars but not overdone as someone said. Only on the airbag VIP cars though since they can raise the height to be functional on streets, the VIP cars with coilovers are just not practical and stupid with their excessively rolled/pulled/messed up fenders.
