Sometimes the truth hurts.....but it also sets you free.

It's not my intention to put anyone down. I'm a forward guy. It used to be fun to surf the net for great examples of automotive creativity. Now there is a younger crowd that just copies what they see. Even if it's unattrative. The more people copy, the more paraise it gets.
Usually, I'm all for doing your own thing. But this just looks silly to me. It makes little financial sense as well. Big bucks on wheels and tires that disappear? Illogical! Unattractive. No contrast! No enhancement of your nice car. Some things I just can't keep quiet about.

Around here looks like people don't like difference because so many are copying the blacked-out thing.
Individuality is the big thing behind modding. With so many cars sporting blacked-out wheels, if nothing else is different you couldn't select yours from a group. But that's not my big issue...it's the way blacked out wheels disappear after spending all that hard earned cash.

Anyway, I'm leaving this alone. You asked for pics of my car. Here's my 2 Lexus GS cars. Peace!

I didn't criticize the car.....just the wheels. Obviously I'm a fan of Porsche and many other cars. I won't get into a pissing war over which cars are best/worst. I'm talking about styling and choice of mods. You went to the negative with your retaliatory comment. That was immature. You're no longer worth the effort of replying.

19" HRE P40s in Textured Black 8.5 Front 9.5 Rear on PS2's 235/35 & 265/30 with H&R lowering springs. You really feel the difference of more grip on the road..

Enjoy the pics !!

Okay getting back on topic, are 9.5's the widest wheel that will fit without clearence problems on fenders and brakes? 9.5 still seems too narrow for our engines!
