the same reason why people choose ugly rims for the sake of being 17x7. all personal preference

Actually I think if anyone is replacing the stock wheels with other 17x7 they are probably doing it to stay in stock autocrossing class. It's usually a lighter rim too so it's functional in that it improves the performance of the car. So a little bit more than personal preference. Whereas a hellaflush setup is just for appearance.

Serious Question: Does a 'stretched' tyre have any negative performance attributes?

I remember some time attack evo that had stretched tires, and dominated its class
Of course people always push things a little too far...lol

a little bit of stretch will give a flatter contact patch.
miata guys run stretch for that reason.. and ive seen some other time attack/track cars running mild stretch also. |

So, 'mild' stretch would be? The pic of the blue 86 running a 225 tire on a 9.5 rim? I'm a complete noob so please forgive my ignorance.

mild stretch is certainly not a 225 on a 9.5. 235 or 245.
It all depends on the tire manufacturer though. They all have different compounds and slightly different sizes (even though they may be 235/35s or whatever), meaning some stretch more than others. |

i ran 195s (federal 595 rs-r fit like 205 on front) on my 9s on my ae86... for drifting... a little too much stretch for grip. i will be running 225 or 235 on 9.5s... but thats with a r888 or similar all the way around. |

Looks like the STI lip, with garden edging along the bottom of it.
Also, the less concave ones just don't do anything for me. Darn |
