Sure man, I don't intend to clutter your thread. Info sharing, opinions, debate/discussion should be ok in any wheel thread because that's what threads are. So long as they aren't intended to offend. Though sometimes people let my posts offend them just so they can cuss at me.

This thread reminds me of the Form>Function thread in that the 1st post of both threads start with pics of this same setup and not much else leaving everything wide open for discussion. Only difference is they are framed under different titles/sections for what is essentially the same topic (your stance/wheel setup). Sorry if my posts seem like clutter but I'm not sure what else to post on threads with the exact same setup pictured... it's just natural. But I am tired of beating on a dead horse (I'm sure I'm not the only one). Besides that, I thought I saw these wheels in the for sale section. So this thread is like a sneaky advertisement.

haha new wheels should be in soon, i guess it is an advertisement. wanted to post up a new thread in this section but was just waiting to get some proper pics

Was just out and 2 NYPD officers were arguing with eachother, one saying i needed an alignment, other says "Hey you cambered in your wheels like that on purpose right? are you on air?"

So glad it wasnt a "stretched tire" ticket

I heard the ticket I posted was given in California. Not sure where else that law applies. And I'm not all gung-ho about strictly following every law because some are stupid. Like I'm running lights that are illegal here but not in Japan. But some laws exist for better reasons (and I've seen why by example of friends who were never even cited for a ticket). Law isn't necessary... just common sense is. Anyway, dead horse.

I look forward to what your next wheels will be. I expect controversial as usual. But if ever you have a setup that errs towards functional safety (not necessarily hellafunctional performance like track junkies/bench racers mandate), I'd be impressed. Function=Form is a bigger achievement IMO.

I was thinking it looked familiar. It looks like a cartoon car.

Ouch. Is that how it's done around here? Relentlessly bashing vic over his car like you're some race car driver? I guess I won't hold back on the next monster truck with black pepboys rims I see.

@SLICVIC Where did you have your adapters made? I'm going for a square setup of turbo twist 1s. 4x 18x7.5 et50. All the adapters I've come across are for VW hubs.

I ordered mine from ecstuning. They fit fine. They hub size is 57.1 where as we need 56.1, If you install them straight there shouldn't be any issues.
