Why would you buy a car with World class handling and then take away it's World class handling?

Your right, don't like it. But I'm a firm believer in "to each his own".

Exactly what I was going to say. Plus no offense, the "stanced" look, looks like absolute dogshit.

lets see some pics on the ground. well i understand that R's have sick handling and putting wheels like this isnt a good idea if he was gonna track it, but what if he doesnt track it ? not everyone tracks their R. i personally think those wheels are sick and from what i see its gonna look nice. plus for all we know he might have some track wheels aside and put these on for looks. nice job OP

Interesting. I'm all for the poke look but I don't think the ITR is a worthy candidate. Killer rims though

That's what that it's called "Poke and Stretch?" Why though I always wondered? And thought that was only legal on a VW...

Well, no pics of the car on the ground yet, but I imagine you're going for copious amounts of negative camber like the other "poke & stretch" or "hellaflush" kids do. You know - that broken ball joint look...
