Kendall isn't bad at all in regards to potholes and such... The killer is parking garages, DownTown, and mini mall entrances.

the g looks retarded like that. I will never understand why anyone wants a car to look like it has all the wheel bearing gone out, lug nuts sheared or have 10 dead bodies in the trunk. When will this HELLA FLUSH ******** go away. Go buy a lexus gs300 or m45.

The guy cant go over a crease from road to parking lot without scraping. If that doesnt convince you that its a "little" toooo much than ur missing my point. Iam getting too old, iam 25 btw and obviously not cool anymore .

The ricer in me loves the way the cars are dropped . I think that Celica looks great! I would've loved something like that 10 ago!

Yep not to mention the car probably rides like sheit and they probably go through tires faster than underwear.

I prefer having the right offset in combination with the right width and camber to put power to the ground.

Do you?

What, you think you're going to be the first person to run Work wheels on a Z? What's with the hating?

MAYBE in some kind of crazy scheme to actually turn a profit on these things, Rays might have produced more than ONE set of Gramlights. Grow up.

I just don't see how people justify saying, "GREAT FITMENT" on a car that has negative camber, 9" tires on an 11" wide wheel, etc. It couldn't be farther from great fitment. Does it look good? Sometimes but only when it's barely over. My wheels are flush with my fenders but am I going to dump my car down, go with small tires, and get an alignment that serves no purpose? No. There's no point in making my car look broken.

there is no right/wrong way to do any of this.
more tire less camber weaker wheels..yes weaker sized. for more traction.
less tire more camber bigger/nicer wheels for more looks.

to each his own guys. you show up and wow people with a front mount then park your fast car while the "flush" guys show up and do what they were built to do...look cool.
