It's worth it. They've been fine so far, and I'm only running them 5 monhts out of the year anyhow. The other 7 months are super high offset steelies that do no harm

Holy WHEEL GAP Batman! hehe sorry I had to... Those wheels are nice and that car looks tight, BUT, it needs a nice drop. At least some H-Sports...

THIS is overabundance of LIP, hehe...

What's the difference?

With that EB MC, I was just trying to find pics of the 17x8 et35 4x100 ASA AR1s to see the lip. They look real nice, a tad heavy at 21 lbs, and they can ONLY be pulled off on a car with at least a moderate drop, apparently.

To think I was soo close to getting these wheels, but decided to get in a tiny car accident lol.. I remember when people would bash him for going staggered, low offsets, and some tire stretch. Now everyone loves the car.. Amazing if you ask me..

i think the wheelgap issue comes into play whenever you are talkin about wheels. at least around here it does. personally, i just love puttin up that pic. makes me laugh. no offense to anyone runnin 4 fingers of gap but, it tends to cheapin the look of the car. very autozone-ish. (my opinion)
