I really want some 19x10 Victors, but i dont think i could get em to fit, so if i EVER end up with a set, id have to stretch tires to get em on the car. I highly doublt i'll be goin DORIFTO, but i kinda like that look on german cars. I wouldnt want to stretch em too much though, just a slight bit, to get the tiny bit of that curve on the tire edges.

umm... extreme tire stretching is definitely making the wheels fit the car. Making the car fit the wheels would be going widebody and not have them stick out like an open wheel racer.

http://www.victorequipmentwheels.com...arge_white.jpg <---large image. I'd love those on my car. I just dont think something like that would be appreciated, at least in this area. I seem to have a very different taste from the typical things you see in NYS. I probably have something more similar to the west coast.

Fuck whether it's appreciated or not. If you like it, you buy it. It's your car, not the capital region's car.

The style is reminiscent of an HRE or a BBS design. It's not THAT different, but is certainly worth picking up, IMO.

.

coming from someone that obviously doesn't think if its going to be accepted when modifing cars. don't think about what someone else is going to think, do what you want to do. the capital region is so scared to try anything different in modifing cars, its not that people don't like it but they all have the attitude of not wanting to try it because people might not like it. ive seen people call gold wheels "different" in this area within the last year. gold wheels are nothing original. and at the end of the day do what you want, your the one driving the car, as long as your ok with it that is all that should matter.
