I don't know why people are trippin' about the offset Brian, +38 with the HP Evo's looks just fine and doesn't need spacers on the SC is you ask me, anything more is just being nit-picky

...oh, and that "great scenery" also comes with "great critters" who like to chill in and around your crib!

Becuase "just fine" could be "awesome" if the offset was lower...

If you are happy with the offset that's cool, but then again, you didn't have a choice with those wheels.

Are you sure you arn't just setteling for a look that could be better, but since the wheels weren't offered in a lower offset, you compromise for something less appealing?

Just curious, becuase you seem to be fairly meticulous in all other aspects of the way you mod your car except suspension (read: stance) and wheels.

Of course I had a choice..... I could buy any set of wheels i want The suspension will get done when i get around to it. I have a BMW that was started first, and will be finished first. The lex was lucky to get wheels and a 97 update before i finished the BMW.

AWJ, about 4 months ago -ish.

This is where the money goes:

Lovin' the SC Brian! Nice choice in wheels.
Isn't that the one with like 220K on it? Looks brand new. Simply amazing.

The BMW a bit ricey???
It looks great!

I don't think he knows what "rice" means.
