It doesn't look as stupid as those stupid go-kart wheels they used to put on them in the 80s.

Every panel on my car matches, and is still the factory paint and color.

Try again, but think real hard of something noone else has said before.



People who make fun of tire stretching are really stupid, does it make you feel that much better about you and your car? Who fucking cares what OTHER people do to THEIR own car. IT IS THAT PERSONS MONEY, NOT YOURS, FUCKING CRY ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.

my 255 nittos took something like 90-100 PSI to pop the beads on a 17x7 wheel. apparently Nittos are notorious for being a bitch to pop the bead. and then there was my 15x8 slicks on a 15x6 wheel. 125PSI in the cage and the bead would not seat. that was scary.
