ip coupe + vs-xx. yawn

a buddy of mine recently got into photography so we did a shoot. he snapped and i directed the angles and editing. the last time i really used photoshop was back around 1999 and it was with my 4.0. i installed cs3 a couple days ago and still adjusting to the changes.

EDIT: this is my old setup

specs:
work vs-xx
9.5x19 +28 & 10.5x19 +17
255/35/19 & 275/35/19

my original plan was to do a +10mm spacer up front with a bbk but plans changed.

BBK or not, these wheels need spacers with those specs. Otherwise, clean G.

heh, i remember those days. i'm not a fan of this "poke" fad that's finally hit the g community. i like flush fitments, but that's it. if you have to run stupid camber and small tires, then your wheels don't fit. good fitment is wheel/tire flush, normal sized tires, normal camber. anything else is just compensation for a poor fitment (and poor fitment to me is too conservative OR too aggressive).

makes me miss my vs-xx's. one of a kind, and now they're gone (guy i sold them to bent 3 of the 4 wheels).

i will have to agree with you here(maybe cuz your car is so damn clean).. The poked look is pretty sick, but i like alot of meat on my wheels and i dont want to flare my fenders. Rolled is enough with tires coming tucked right at the edge. Some negative camber of course!!!

I don't think white looks too horrible on DG.
