it's how it always is.. starts of nice. Wide rims, low profile tyres.. lowered with a slight rake
then goes to wide rims, small diameter, low profile and narrow tyres.. slightly tucked with a lot of rake
And now we get this... trends always go to an extreme before they get dumped.. look how many "fast and furious" cars you see anymore with 4 foot wings, bad body kits, and enough neon to light up an art deco diner...

I doubt it... that would never survive the roads around here...
It's seeing stuff like this that makes me feel old... I just don't get it...

You guys are missing the whole point - this is very GRM cause they actually got them to fit!

I thought the Rabbi had an old yello Keystone plate but it looks to be a Virginia DUI yellow tag.

Looking forward to going home this evening and looking at the pics....I wonder how close the pics in my mind will match up to the actual ones.

Well that explains it.
This XTREME negative camber reminds me of Poe's Law: It's so extreme, it's hard to tell whether it's parody or if these guys are actually that full of FAIL.

Oh noes.
Haven't seen that around here... yet.
WTF makes people even think that looks cool? I won't address the obvious handling and maintenance ills it will create.

It started as a Japan thing, as do most trends that are something simple taken far beyond the point of absurdity. It has since become a Vee Dub Krew specialty, and was also taken up by wealthy Middle Easterners in a slightly different format.
[edit] Oh, and the Civic's trunk is actually an interpretation of Burberry Check, which is the personal accessory of choice for chavs.

How long will a set of tires last with 15-25deg camber? 2500 miles before the inch or so of tread that touches the road is corded would be my guess.
