In the early 2000s, my friends in NorCal were doing hellaflush where it originated. I watched as it gained momentum with shows popping up nationwide and thought it was cool my friends pioneered a cult movement. At first I thought it only wears your tires a little faster/unevenly and if you can afford to replace, more power to you. Til this happened to my friend an hour away from his home.

Or my other friend who had polished deep dishes with dope tire stretch. Emphasis: "had."

I could feel their frustration. It's not that I hate on the owners (my friends) that do it. More like I hate what it does to to the owner. So please don't be offended/confuse this as hate. Just taking their experience and putting visceral knowledge to work. You pour time/money/love into it and this is how it repays you. Hellaflush is like unprotected sex; might be fun f*cking around like you don't give a f*ck what the haters say til you catch that bad break and your shit gets torn up. Or like dudes who hang weights on their wang to increase its size. Yeah looks swoll bro but now you can't fully function (get fully erect) cuz nerves got destroyed in the process. No biggie.

So it's not a question of Form > Function. More like Function > Destruction.

i keep seeing/hearing hellaflush is a lifestyle. does anyone know what this lifestyle entails?

WillBRZ · 04-15-2013, 03:20 AM

Props to him for making them fit. I honestly appreciate the time and effort to make them flush & not rip up his fenders & not look mexiflush. Fitment is on point and very aggressive.

Personally every time I see those pics I think the car looks broken, but to each their own I guess!

A LOT of trips to a proctologist.

It looks to me like someone takes a lot of pride in his ride. While it's certainly not for me, I admire the work put into it.

Turbowned · 04-15-2013, 10:05 AM

Nothing good can come of this thread...

But just to add fuel to the fire, I'll post this again:

I'm all for lowered cars, but there gets to be a point of excess where it stops being cool, and this is a perfect example.

Rayme · 04-15-2013, 10:09 AM

No hate guys!

I personally loves seeing those lowered as f*ck cars.

Just as long as it's not MY car.

EDIT: Just so you guys know, this forum is tuning into a bashing ground. There's tons of thread with nothing else than people trashing cars / owners...f'n grow up!

What do you mean grow up? If anything saying how I actually feel about the car is grown up, and be grown up about it and learn how to take criticism otherwise don't post it online. I personally don't like it, I think it's stupid to ruin the car's balance and put yourself in danger for a look.

It's too extreme for my taste but the turbo twist (reps, real?) wheels are interesting. Had to check the other thread to see them better. I hate to say it, but the first thing this reminded me of was one of my kid's Hot Wheels cars where he's bent the rear axle, and the wheels look like they've been set to have ridiculous negative camber. Haha, two years old and already reppin the hellaflush.
