Yea I meant to say its aggressive as most but dre, status one, goblin, shane and others still kill the game as far as originality and offsets....

I still remember seeing your car for the first time dre and thinking that was one of the cleanest ob's I'd ever seen

At first i thought it was a repost then i seen it was a new poster, I thought the point of modifying a car was so it didn't look the same as all of the other cars give it YOUR personal touch, guess I was wrong the new trend is to have your car look just like buddies but with 2mm more aggressive offsets.

Yea unfortunately with 11 -12's an extreme fender pull was in order.....just came out a little wavier then expected

I understand you have to make it YOUR personal touch and that's what I did. I had a T1S setup around a yr ago and wished I had done what I did now. To me it's complete and I love it.

Thanks for the kind words. But my finish isn't MSP, its Lightning Silver. Looks similar, but it's not quite as shiny as Dre's wheels.

Edit: And about the T1S debate. These were the first set of wheels I was looking at when I got my G back in February, and I don't regret the decision at all. The only images I saw of these wheels on the G's were the ones off of WORK Wheels USA and they are pictures of Dre and CookieMonster's rides, something I didn't realize until I started posting regularly on the forum.

I picked these wheels out before I even know how common they were, at least on the forum anyway. And honestly, when I wanted these wheels I first didn't know that they came in custom offsets, so I started looking at VOLK wheels and I almost bought a set of 19" VOLK G-10's from B2AutoDesigns. But then I found out that I could order my own offsets and I knew that was better then the +25 or whatever the G10's came with.

I really don't care how common the wheels may get or who has them. I like them on my car and that is what makes me happy. Do I want a different set of wheels that hardly anyone has? Of course, we all aspire to be different and more unique then others... but I really don't want to wait another 4 months for a set of Gnosis GS4's or spend another fkn 3k on wheels.

I'll join this thread when I get my spacers on, stretch my tires, and go more low with a phone book pull.

***Edit*** don't get me wrong your car looks great once I slowed down to have a look I really like the body mods you have done but at first i saw OB and T1S and i scrolled over barely glancing at it. I have seen the fender thing before, it is an unfortunate effect from the pull. I think your car will look much better with some more - camber. Personally I think your car would stand apart and look so tight with a different set of wheels....but then if you listened to me your car would look like mine I know how you guys feel about the wheels you love a set but they become common wheels it kind of sucks but we only have so many options that suit the car well. I remember when GT-S came out i bought a set i thought they were the sickest wheels ever, then the next summer I went to a meet and 4 other cars had the same wheels it sucked. At the end of the day if the wheels look good, others will like them as well and are going to end up with something similar.

If I didn't have the front lip I would go lower but I already scrape my lip and my front tires rub when I pull into the parking lot at my job.. Maybe some day I will go lower.. I'm at a good balance right now..
