Talking wider is better!

I am so happy with how the 20mm spacers make the car look that I decided to share . The RG2s are 18x10 +38mm so this effectively pushes the wheel to 18mm.

The wheels look good, so does the 7!!!

Do you remember the old Pontiac Grand Prix commercials, Wider is Better
Well it obviously did not work for Pontiac, with their boring front wheel drive "Wider is Better" chasis and Automatic transmissions, and cookie cutter styling.

Well lets enjoy our timeless RX7's!
Also I believe that is the only way a Pontiac can be talked about on these forums.
Wider is better just sparked a memory for me and figured I would share, I hope someone enjoys my rant!

I would guess that your car is lowered so much that it has a wild amount of negative camber, forcing the wheels to tuck inwards at the top.

yes?

more pics pleaaaaaase, I love those wheels!
