Saw this car at a local meet...

I don't really dig the wheel fitment (function wise). But at least those Nexen tires will be cheap to replace when they wear out every few thousand miles.

Everything else looks super fly though.

Clean car, overall, if perhaps a bit over-the-top. However, the guy spends thousands on his car and then puts crappy tires on it? It's the first thing I noticed. They don't look much (if any) wider than stock, too, which is pretty silly.

Looks nice minus the wheel fitment.
They stick out too much and that neg camber on the rear is a lil too much for my taste.
Other than that, very nice.

They are wide enough, being 275's (stock is 245's).

I agree though, all that dough and you're not gonna put decent tires on?

Looks generally well done, quality work but I don't think it looks good at all. It's not truly race ready but it also looks like it's severely compromised for street use. Basically, I can admire the work but say it isn't my cup of tea.

Not bad, but the suspension is horrible. Too low, now its a cruiser instead of a performer. Dumping a car is probably the easiest way to ruin its drivability, but it makes for a good "hard parker".
