I hate the "i (heart) jdm" stickers too and I hate the people who put them on with NO japan original parts.

I also hate fart cans, led lights on shift knobs, colored windshield wipers, and most of all I really really don't like g6's...

ill admit i had the neon under dash lighting on my old minitruck

but i think i did it right, not too flashy and best of all you cant seethe bulbs.

the thing i hate... lifting a car to put massive wheels on. 1st is that your wheels cost more than the car.. and 2nd not realizing that trying to stop those 80lb wheels in an emergency stop your 1980's stock brakes just arent going to do the job

I'll add stretched tires to the thread. Those just don't look like they're good for your car.

I had one of those led shift knobs at one point, I thought it was a good idea when I bought it but I hated it at night. It was way to bright and I ended up ripping the wires out one night, lol.

Now stretched tires do have their place (don't get Ian started haha), but an "insane" stretch, like putting 195's on 16x10's, is stupid. But there are safe stretches...for example I have 255's on my 17x10's. It's not a crazy stretch by any means and still perfectly safe. I could fit up to 285's on them but they would rub...I don't think it's a huge sacrifice.

Really, the stretched tires don't hurt your car at all, the worst thing is exposing your wheel to easier curb rashing. Un-beading of the tire can be a problem but you need a serious/insane stretch for that to even enter the picture
:eek:

yea a 195 on a 10 is just nuts. i have 225 on my 10's and 205 on my 9's. its a good amount of stretch but still not enough to have it de bead but still safe for daily use. also its on federal tires lol
