If Bing were to limit this year’s meet only to 240 owners with MB Wheels, 99% of SON would still be there.

I’m happy with “sporty” OEM rims like wolfenden. I chose to go the SE-R Spec-V route, I don’t care that they’re 17x7 +47. I just put 25mm spacers all around. 225/45/17, I’m happy…

Some people have rims that cost more than their car, sad, very sad. Why not spend that on better tires/suspension?

Fobwall is BACK!!!

my stash:

old pic, but still have it all… different tires though…

I agree somewhat on the old roads comment too. I cracked the barrel of one of my CCW’s last summer… fortunately i was able to have it welded back up in a day and continue on about my business

Andrew, those wheels look much better than stock that’s for sure. The only thing that kind of makes it not stand out is the lack of a spacer. (That’s another thing, the whole point is…it’s much better to not HAVE to use a spacer to get the stance.) If the front were to come out even 5mm more, I think it would look ten times better. If you add a spacer and dial in a little bit of camber, I think you’ll be fine without a roll!

Battles are played out, blah blah blah, BUT I’ve never once seen anyone with them in person (unless it’s at a 240 meet or track event), and anyone who ever sees them is like “shit those are sick”.

Nonetheless, everyone gets them because they look good, fit well, and are cheap. If TE37’s were $800/set the same thing would happen.
