The side profile looks great, but when you go 3/4 view, the spokes stick out too much for my taste. and i think the stretched tires dont go too well on this face design. especially when you cant slam your car all the way cuz its maxed out. stupid GCs... i may get actual CO this summer to slam it.
Excuse the picture quality as i didnt set the white value or change my last settings.
i want to pull my fenders out as much as i can... doesnt look right.

thanks! although im not feeling it myself...
the offset decision is fine in the rear. but the front looks like *** and being 8.5" doesnt help either. Right now, im not satisfied. im gonna give it a month or so and see how im liking em. if it doesnt change, well im gonna sell this set and grab a different set of wheels.
my groundcontrols are maxed out in the front. total weaksauce. the rears have about 1/4" more left in threads. coilovers this summer perhaps... unique as in idontwanttotalksmackitlookslikeass-unique?? cuz i think it looks like *** lol.

Side profile looks great. I thought I was on the fence with how the face flares out but I like how it looks in the back. I don't like how the front wheels look. Either something with the width, stretch, wheel size or the drop or all of the mentioned. They look like 18's up front. Maybe if you slammed the front down or got more stretch it would look better.

I think this shot is sexy
But I am with yeah it is something about how the wheel sticks out that makes me scratch my head. Darn I have to see these on a 5th GEN before I blow the cash.

yeah you guys are right. the stretch just plain doesnt work. well im gonna mill down the hub so the front wheels sit better. Theres a lot of meat off the hub I can take off. I may get a tad meatier tires in the front if I do. then coilovers and mad camber it. so you cant tell too bad. but yeah its got SOME potential...
#146
i say get something else. im very disapointed in the way these came out: tires mounted and everything. BUT that is MY opinion...
#147
i know what your saying. one of the reasons i was hesitant to put the hr2s on my was because of how the spokes poked out past the lip. at the same time i saw them on a gs from japan and they looked sick. i wouldn't give up on em yet, give the fenders a nice pull and get your stance on point. then if you dont like em switch it up.
#149
Damn! I love that profile shot! Not trying to be on the bandwagon, but I do agree on the stretchiness of the tires. There's only so much you can pull though and I dont think it's gonna be enough. Nonetheless... +1 on CO and m4d camba~! Isn't the back a little too aggressive? Its poking out like 5inches.

but talking about pulling, yeah i can only pull so much but that might make the difference. i do get slight rubbing on big freeway dips in the rear but not so much in the front.
#157
maybe. it's all up in the air for now. I'm going to mill down the front hub to a higher offset and see from there. but these wheels are starting to grow on me...

mtn bike meet??? id be interested if we set one up.

hahah speak of the devil! im actually going back to Performance up in Santa Monica. Well i have a 90% chance of getting up there with higher pay. but im done with bikes for now. im satisfied with my beefed up Access 5" HT although they closed the trails to mtn bikers here in PV. pretty lame. so now i have to find somewhere else to ride...

I'd be down. I was going to say chino hills but I tried it for the first time and my gf's dad handed my *** to me with all the climbs... so maybe something else.
I think you need some real coilovers though. You are low but if you closed up the gap a little more i think you could give the illusion the rims are more flush.
