Cars can be beautiful things. When you see a great picture of a great car it can make us all swoon.

When car companies make, advertise and sell cars they spend millions to make the car look amazing. The photography is to die for and yes, we all want that car.

Then, i see things like this and it makes me die a little inside. I don't have words to express how horrible this looks and i'd hate to drive something with wheels like this.

I urge everyone, from my heart and formed from my opinion....STOP IT!

It looks BAAAAAAD!

Couldn't agree with you more! I was talking to people online and I told them about my car, first question before anything else was
"Have you slammed it yet?"

I left shortly after.
 
I like stanced cars, but at the GTP Stance thread that is unacceptable. We like to see low cars with more camber than usual but after a certain point even we find it to be ridiculous.
 
Sad suspension is sad! :lol:

I'll agree, it always looks terrible, IMO, as it just looks like something is broken, or about to be. It can't be good for the tires, definitely can't improve handling, and definitely makes for a worse ride as well, since I imagine the suspension firmness level is something approaching solid concrete.

"Stance", to my understanding, just means having the tires and rims aligned with the edges of the surrounding sheetmetal as closely as possible. The Silvia '02 Premium model in the game, for example, has a strange problem with the placement of its rims; the track is all wrong and the wheels look "sunken", a few inches or so within the width of the body. It looks anaemic because of it.

This, I'm okay with:

...or even this:

This is pushing it, though it does look badass:

I can certainly understand the appeal of this one, though speed bumps would be an issue:

This however, just looks stupid and pointless, to me:

I don't mind some camber... on track cars. If a car looks like it's taken a left turn somewhere after a track day, and has about 2-3 degrees of negative camber, I accept the purposeful look of it, and have no qualms. It's this ridiculous saggy-suspension look, for cars that won't ever touch a track, that I take issue with.

Thank god I'm not the only one, :cheers: leeislee.

I would like to say this thread is sick, but that to me would mean it was unwell!
 
I don't mind low cars, to an extent. But the wheels just look broken. It has no benefits.
 
The manufacture that made these wheels look like what the op showed must be a hellaflush company because a lot of people that knows about the "hellaflush" thing want to make their wheels look crooked.the the problem is it makes the styling and handling worst then it normally is.

This mad camber style started in Japan during the late 80's/early 90's, I believe. Since then, it's just gotten a lot more excessive as you can see by the pictures in the OP.
Nower days, It's just all for show, styles such as V.I.P, Hellaflush etc...
Do I like mad camber? No actually, but like SlipZ said, I like a few degree's of camber... Especially on that Blue 350Z. ;)
 
I think the term 'Hellaflush' has also made me a little suicidal today after reading the comments here!

I like it :lol: It makes me laugh when I see cars decked to the floor with insane camber angles to the points it's almost undrivable, and the fact that when "purists" see stuff like this it fills them with rage is just added humour.

Would I own a car like these or do it to my own car? Nah not a chance, plus the more people that do stuff like this to their cars potentionally means it's devallued so is cheaper to buy second hand which is always a plus. 👍 Far too many cars are overpriced and hold value for a long time as a used car due to "cult" status. So come on you hellaflush kids go waste your parents college fund for you on slaming and donking out or whatever its called some AE86's and PS13 silvias so I can buy them for a resonable price insted of paying £10,000 for what is essentially nothing more than a 30 year old rust bucket.
 
I love stanced cars, but only up to a point. This whole Bippu & Boso style just ain't my thing.

I love cars that look like this:

But anything more than -2.5 degress of camber in the rear and it's just stupid IMO.

Top picture is probably the first I have ever seen on the road. I can only wonder the damage it causes both short and long term.:nervous:
 
People saying they look good.....i'm honestly shocked!

@Maccer...it's nothing to do with the purist element. It's to do with looking at a bunch of cars that look horrible.

Each to their own like but my god...vile!
 
It looks like what happens when you step on a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car. The "stretched wheels" are on the same level of NO.
Do you need more grip for a track day? Sure, add some camber.

I'm not, I won't reveal how much I hate these for fear of breaking every single one of the AUP agreements. 👍
 
Whats the point of doing that!? It is soo ugly. I dont like very low cars either.

I think this is the same car as OP:
