and below is a pocture after putting these wheels on i decided cambering my front to -3 would be a great idea .. apparently its not so great because this is how my tires looked after 1 week ...

btw these are LM replicas i got or murph on here now that he got his fancy vs-xx lol ....

Wow, I can't really tell if they are reps or not. Do they have engraved BBS on one of the spokes?

Very nice. This looks better than your other set up.

Have you gotten a alignment since the new set up?

id ditch the bbs center caps, but the look is good. that tire ware is very irregular and should not be caused by -3 camber alone..check your toe.

i dont trust most shops man.... i dont see how only neg camber could do that in a week.... i mean those front tires were almost brand new when i handed them over.... looks like some crazy toe wear to me.... just my opinion....
