I don't understand. These guys have some nice wheels and don't even protect them with a correct tire setup. What happens when you hit a pot hole, crack your expensive wheel, feel embarrassed, all while not having good handling? Not directed at anyone particular, I've seen some extreme setups. It doesn't make sense to me. Since when did performance cars become "form" over function?

I don't get it... I can't remotely see how that's safe. Youre TONS more likely to pop the bead. If you come anywhere near a curb there is NO protection for your nice rims.
Really, what is the point? Unless you trailer the car to the "show" you're only risking damage...

Janky low quality tirea is where its at lol.
I have ran tires from Lexani, LingaLong, Sunnys, Nankangs, ect.
Jesse from Vexx did the install on these for $265 cash brand new. Killer deal for four brand new tires mounted and balanced.
I didnt expect this thread to get this much attention
