As far as wheels go, most of what I like are about in the norm, however I want them to actually fit without any rubbing, most people are running something like a 8" wheel and getting 0, or 15 mm offset, to get them to stick out, more than likely cause someone saw a car with some 10" wheels, with all the offset they were available with, to get some tire under the car, and decided they wanted "the look", so they got 8" wheels with way too little, to make it look like they were running something big. In the meantime a 8.5" rim would fit with 65mm offset and clear the shock in the rear, as well as an 8" +48 front, depending on wheel / spring/ shock, doing it strictly for the look, is just silly to me.
everyone goes through there phases, I still like the look I was going for yet never completed with my old car but am not going that direction with this car, I really really want an OEM K's aero bumper but I just can't find one for like under $800 in good condition and really don't want fiberglass. I'm kinda over the whole sticking out wheel phase just want flush fitment. Cars with crazy aero and huge wheels just arent fun to drive, you are always breaking shit, tires rub, etc etc etc
