I’d rather take that CRX next to the shed in the background, then an S13 hatch. Anyday. I don’t hate, I just don’t appreciate. :wiggle: ---

you guys are missing the point… look at how sick those wheels are fitted to that thing… none of use will ever have rims that look that sharp. and i dont even like the rims really, but i LOVE how they fit. bob, it is debatable as to whether Z-brakes even improve stopping distances anyways and who cares about tinit colour. i dont have any tint at all. ---

Those are R34 wheels… What do you mean no one will ever have rims that look that sharp… there are people who already have rims that look as sharp if not better. Idiots buy bigger brakes to stop faster, the guys who know buy bigger brakes to battle brake fade, and increase surface area. If you want to stop faster, buy better tires… ---

Can’t coupes fit the R34 wheels? Wheels alone don’t make the car. Your wheels are pretty nice. ---

my wheels are nicer than those ones, i thikn anyways, but i will never get them to fit that perfectly what ever he did to make them fit sooo sick (spacers, camber, height adjust) obviously took alot of time. i would be very surpised if u could simply throw a pair of wheels on and have them fit that wel ---

Looks like fender pull, tires stretched alot (maybe 215’s), alot of drop and a lil camber. Thats some crazy flushness. ---

i personally prefer a wider stickier tire. tires should be all function, not style since they are so vital. but that doesnt mean these wheels dont look hot. HEY! its good that we are all having an actual conversation about these this now… yay marc, varun, bob, me, mike, adam, etc. etc. for not tearing each other’s heads off over inane shit… PROGRESS! ---
