these are cars your seeing over and over again, but theres a reason for that. love it or hate it..this trend blew up and its actually hard to pull off

 

yay for 'trendy-ness'

 

altezzas were a trend too, same with underglows and kombat kits

 

It's not hard to pull off at all. This trend may have blew up but it is not a new trend by any means. I idolized my best friends brother growing up in Hawaii and he had a few VW Sirocco's that were "Hellaflush" in 1987.

I took this at the 512 show in Austin, this was about as original as it gone amongst the many IS's

you said these cars arent original..but volks on a rx8 is? show me a DAILY DRIVEN rx8 thats rockin 18x11s. i personally know only 1.

 

has anybody pushed 18x11's in aggressive fitment on an 8 yet??

there's something new someone should try

 

i want to see an rx8 with these

 

^it would def have to be a WWP imo...

 

Volks in general may not be super original but mine are

 

^ those rims are sick.

 

so cause that lexus is rockin purple volks but rockin the same lip kit that every is owner has thats original?

 

Nope. You missed my point.

 

my boys 8..

this pic does no justice..18x11s in the rear. i cant disclose the offset but let me tell you the fitment is on point and highly functional.

 

that would be?

 

hmmm - just 11's in the rear??

hmmm - i'm lookin' to 11's all around in +30 in my next setup...

 

that white 8 isnt low enough sorry

 

atilla too high you gotta get that single digit offsets lol

 

depends on how low you go that should be a good look. hes on a 2" drop. any lower he'll be sitting on the rim

 

^which is basically what The Trend calls for...

 

LOL no one is rocking **** until they are running negative offsets. Also anyone thinking stretched tires was not done a LONG TIME AGO has not been around custom cars very long.

 

^true. unlike others hes trying to avoid demolishing his fenders

 

^ not hardcore

 

^+1

 

amen

someone needs to step up and run negative offsets on stock fenders

 

probably not gonna happen w/out molesting the fenders or going below 10" wide wheels.

18x9 -5??
