Cool. I like those wheels. Definately quirky like the car itself.

Is there a way to make the wheels more flushed with the body? It's a bit too spaced out...

Not feeling those wheels or the set up on the wheels... But... whatever melts your butter.

that looks absolutliy hideous in my opinion but whatever floats your boat. Why would you get wheels then do that to them? They would be nice otherwise.

Where did you learn to do this? I am just curious because I see a lot of people do it around southern california, seems to be mostly hispanic but I have seen some white dudes with it like that. Is that the fasion in some other countries?

I never saw it like this until I move to southern cali...i'm just curious. A few times it does look good on older cars but geese, on a Scion xb?
