New Rims on my 8

I finally got my set of J-Line wheels over the past week. They are the 10sl2 wheels with the step lip. I decided to go with 18s wrapped with Falken tires. Here are some pics of my new rims. Enjoy!

All you need is to paint your wheel gold and put some hydrolics on......that would complete the gangstar look....it would look SICK as Monica Lewinski on coke!!!! :P

Only the rears are stretched?

They look mismatched.

Sorry, not a big fan of stretched tires. Stretched tires look rice.

what is the point of stretched tires really?

I dont think they look good at all because they rim sticks out too much. Its not that its rice or not. Is there a point to it? If there is no point to it then I would like my rims to be covered completely.

its to be able to run a lower offset and to be able to get more clearance with the tires when its lowered. The only downfall is the ability to run a fatter tire. i would say its more for looks. Check out the VIP cars how there wheels are just flush with the body. check this out.....this pic of the wheel is a lill too stretched but it clears the fender and it tucks!! its all preference so what if people stretch there wheels let them be.

i totally agree!! this stretch is a lil too much for me!! but its all about prefference and what a person intends on doin with there cars. Of course a person isn't going to run stretch tires on a time attack car that would be stupid!! majority of these VIP cars are running stretched tires so i guess according to RAZZ1 VIP cars are rice to him
