That's a matter of opinion. If you like it, why do you care what other thinks? No one will do your dying for you, so let no one do your thinking or living for you.

Maybe he was trying to save you from mindlessly following a trend using cheap quality wheels. Or maybe he assumes you're going to slam and tuck and he was trying to keep the road a little safer.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint.

depending on what size they will poke pretty hard. Im guessing you want 15x8 +0. And to get them not to poke and look retarded like mine use to you'll need a lot of camber.

If you don't say what the fucking offset is, nobody can say how it will look.
Personally, I think XXR wheels are trendy knockoff garbage that are only bought by ricers that choose to run incorrect offsets for their FWD cars... and it looks absolutely idiotic... but that's just my opinion. If that's the look you want, go for it. Just do some research on what is safe, and do what is appropriate. Looking stupid is one thing, but being unsafe is another. I don't care if my members look stupid, but I don't want to hear of anyone crashing because they did something unsafe to their cars just to emulate magazine trailer queens.

Lucky you commented first.Originally posted by deevergote View Post
I'll bet he had a set in the shop ready to go, BUT with something like a +20 offset.
The OP pointed them out, and then shop made the comment "make my cb7 look stupid cuz they will stick out t far from the fender"
Then the OP got upset, rather than asking if they could get a lower offset in for him that would fit.

The offset that the car was designed for is best for the CB.

Start repeating yourself then. That's a TERRIBLE offset for our cars.Originally posted by F20A CB7 View Post
If you have to modify the body of the car and do heroic things to the suspension to make that setup fit...it's far, FAR from the best for our cars.
Wheels that fit without any alterations on the suspension geometry or body...those are what is "best" for the car.
Notice I said nothing about aesthetics...that's a whole separate issue.Comment

the enkei's with +38 offset fit very well...i like when cars only poke in the rear.Comment
