Default Hellaflush spacers?!?

For those of you who ARE into the whole "stance is everything" and enjoy having your wheels cambered to squeeze them in the wheel well...HELLAFLUSH now sells wheel spacers.

God help us all.

they look quality but I don't know....

This "hellaflush" crap is going too far imo.

GRIP>cambered out, stupid offset, wheels that need body work to make them fit.

At first I was thinking this HellaFlush thing was a phase, it's growing rapidly. I myself wouldn't do it personally to my Z, but these guys are enthusiasts just like us, so let them be.

Exactly. I don't see what all the hate is about.

Spacers that size have existed forever... I dont get the point. I'm proud of the fact that I'm going to be part of the "Sorta Frush" crew when my VSXX's get here.

So HellaFlush collaborating with another company to make spacers is taking it too far? I'm having trouble following you here. You value "grip" as the other people who mod their Z's value being "flush".

A company teamed up with hellaflush to cash in on a fad. Good for them. A lot of those cars look good. A lot more of them look broken, busted, or just straight riced out. When your wheels stick out past the tires and they are both out from under the car with less than 50% of the tire on the ground, I'm sorry, but it's rice. Nowadays, "Skated" wheels get you picked on but only when the tire makes contact with the ground.

there is a big difference from hella flush concept --> exaggerated cambers, bottoming out shocks, low profile tires vs pics of the cars you posted

I'm not hating. In fact, I like the way the "hellaflush" cars look when they're parked. But, why take a Z (a sports car) and make it less of a sports car?

decent blog....
