What's the deal with stretched tires? I think tire/wheel combos look much better when the sidewall sits flush with the lip. This style makes it look like you couldn't afford the right tires...or least what 99.9% of people are going to say looking at it. And I mean you are doing it to show others so maybe I just am missing the whole idea?

I feel like the design of the wheel makes em look smaller than they are...I've enjoyed some of your previous setups a lot more.

That said, I'm sure if you are able to unstick your tein's...it'll look a lot better. The blue looks great too btw!

I would follow the suggestions above with cleaning the threads, see if you can unlock the 2 and actually RAISE the locking rings up a few threads so that you can get in there and clean the lower threads from the perch down...use hot water and a strong bristled brush to make sure there is no dirt dust on them...if there is, do not try and force the rings because it'll only get worse.

Its a different type of stance and look theyre going for. When you have a stretched tire, you can tuck them better inside the fenders, giving you more room to slam the car.

Go to www.stancenation.com and do some research. If you dont like the style, dont worry, nobody's gonna hate on you cause in the end its all preference.

The wheels are pretty nice! When I was shopping for wheels, re-30 was my first option but ended up getting the ce28n's. But yeah, just need to get the flow going and it will look great as you always can pull off!

Love the wheels and set-up!
But, in my opinion, it's missing a little big of over-all aggressiveness that I have known your car to have.

I don't mind this setup, but I think that there were so many better ones before this.

That is because it's missing 3 things:
1) A-spec kit
2) roof wing
3) custom headlights
4) PC'd brembos

All will be had in due time

I dig. The color is awesome. Still will always have a soft spot for the pumpkin style you had though.

IMO, whenever you are poking you need to dial in more rear camber to make it look good. Go at minimum -3.5 in the rear.

Love the mag blue on a black car. By the way, I expect a huge discount if I was to ever buy these wheels off you since I got both the wheel make and color right
