WTF is this really considered cool in the VW world? I know that some stretch may look OK but this?

What seats are in this thing? They look odd. I have some patio chairs that look similar from the back minus the holes for harnesses.

I used to own a '99 Ginster Yellow VR6 and I'm still an active member on the Vortex and have tons of friends in the VW community and most of the are running staggered wheel setups with a mildly stretched tire.

Although these wheels by themselves look amazing there too aggressive for the car IMO.

I can assure you this car is soooooooooooo far from rice. The car was featured in Performance VW about a year ago or so (with his old wheel setup) and is probably considered one of the nicest Jetta coupes in the country if not the world.

Sure the tires are stretched way way too much, to the point where it actually takes away from the overall look of the car but it doesn't take away from the amazing work that went into the rest of this car IMO.

the first time i saw stretched tires was on...... vdubs.

It looks ugly on vdubs or any other cars for that matter(honda's, toyota's, and nissans).

never a fan of the stretched tires on wide rims.

I don't know his username, all I know is he is or maybe was part of a very well known group called German Squad.

It actually looks like he just widened his original BBS RS's (I think they are RS's)

Here are the only two pics I could find on my HD.

I feel the same way. It's Mike McCoy's Jetta. The car is amazing even though it's not my style. Any true car guy can appreciate the work that has gone into that car.
