    It looks stupid to many people.

    Lets leave it at... there are different types of people that mod cars.

    I'm not really a fan of the negative camber or most wheels that people pick.

    So, red car... fix camber, I'd rock it.

    Second black one, I'd rock it.

    Still prefer untucked wheels with some rubber on 'em though.

    And no, any space between the rubber and the wheel arch is another thing I dont like.

    Gotta be spaced just right...

    the wheels im getting are 19x8.5 +45mm offset, so they wont be flush, but they will look nice. im also not going to lower my car that far. if i had a car that i didnt drive everyday i might think about pulling off a look like this. the only problem with doing it is that you need to run stretched tires and stupid camber to make it work. you also need very stiff springs so you dont rub on the fenders all the time.

    I dont like stretched tires or neg camber either, but nice fitting wheels and slamming do wonders for a car.

    Im going to get the saleens and eventually lower it some.

    The only reason i am a little reluctant to roll fenders is because i dont like permanently modifying the car, becuase the person after me may not like rolled fenders.

    Its also cool to see some people on here who are fans of nice looking modifications.

    you dont notice rolled fenders. it just gives the tires/wheels a little more clearance. i dont think anyone will count it against the car at all. i had all four rolled on my grand prix and it looked completely stock.

    its cheap. thats why everyone does it.

    however, i do not like rims that were on a mustang. i just refer to mustang rims as in the bolt pattern. you can use a mustang in order to search for wheels. you can also use a maxima or an eclipse.

    I dont know if i should get 18" black saleens,

    or these 18 x 8.5 +45 offset chrome sterns for a little more; for my red 2 door. I know the sterns wont be as flush but which do you think would look better?

    not a fan of little screws/pins on the wheel. overall would go with saleens. if you want chrome, get chrome saleens

    chrome comes in a lot of forms, why would you automatically refer to saleens, which are a more expensive version of the old school 'me too' rims. why would you want wide AE077's?
