Sorry for my comment, not to be rude, but I am assuming those wheels and tires for shows? And cruising down the Avenue? I couldn't imagine taking hard turn with them? As far as looks go, they are sweet. Just not my cup of tea...I like to drive my F hard into the corners and power out of the apex! I guess same car, different purpose.

The mechanical performance guys couldn't care less about changing the appearance, and are focused on what makes the car accelerate, turn, and brake better. We're more focused on putting wider rims AND tires under the car to improve lap times, not overloading our wheel bearings with "aggressive offsets" which look pretty but lead to premature bearing failure under hard use, and other items focused purely on making the car deliver better timed performance than it did stock. Ours is a different challenge, and honestly, a much more difficult challenge because aesthetics won't change lap times. The factory did an amazing job with this car, so improving it will be tough.
Still, it's cool to see what the show car guys are doing, even if it doesn't make the car mechanically perform better.
Sweet pics, pretty ride.

There are two types of people on this forum. Visual performance and mechanical performance. The visual performance guys are focused on how the car looks standing still, so color combinations, wide wheels with narrow tires stretched to dangerous widths, bodykits, and other style related items are important to them.
Still, it's cool to see what the show car guys are doing, even if it doesn't make the car mechanically perform better.
