Meh.... the blue miata looks like the rear wheels are still just a little too wide for the rubber. They are very flush with the fenders though and look like they fit very well. As long as he's got enough room in there anyway not to get fender rub when the car is actually driving down the road.
If the tires rub anywhere on the fender or frame when the car is leaning or suspension/steering is moving... that IMO is poor fitment. Function>form, if you can't drive a car the way it looks without damaging something, whats the point? And the civic imo the wheels are sticking out way too much. The bottom of the sidewall where the tread starts should be even with the rest of the sidewall and the face of the wheel. Why do people want their wheels to stick out further? Thats just extra weight you don't need, and more chance of damaging a rim too.
Anyway, both are beautiful cars... but not the BEST example of proper fitment and stance IMO.

If I ever meet him in person I will shake his hand and congratulate him for everything he has. I myself will one day own the very same nice cars you say I like to "hate on". I wasn't hating as you like to call it, I was wishing him luck with a car known for having issues. Say what you want but be realistic and realize the Murci has its share of problems. Maybe next time I should clarify for dumbfucks like you when I am being sarcastic or not. Your a joke. Just stop posting on TR-do us all a favor.

These new trends are terrible.
unsafe and a complete waste of money . I didn't realize there were that many lemmings out there following trends.. from the looks of it even the honda kids aren't doing this. I can't believe people with money are buying into it with their high dollar cars .. oh wait yes I can , most people with high dollar cars don't even know how to turn a wrench on them let alone have any idea what they are doing with them.. I guess being ignorant to common sense is the new cool.
otherwise , some of the cars are tasteful, but 98% of them are pure stupidity and wastes of what could be nice comfortable eye pleasing vehicles had nobody tried to make them "cool" to the mindless masses.

Blah blah now your gonna say i drive a homo z3 and i think i have the best car ever, blah blah blah.
All I did was point out that im sure there are far more dsms that break down over lambos that catch on fire.
i dont even know why your so mad and crying, what do you care what i think about your car. Grow up and keep the thread on topic, no one cares if 1/1563252575 lambos catch on fire or whatever you pointed out.
