hella flush DSM!!!

[LandoAWD]

There is nothing "hellaflush" about that 1g. Note the corrected camber, reasonable ride height, and wheels that sit within the tires' rim protector.

My original pic wouldnt post for whatever reason. :/ My intention though was to show a car can be sexy without losing functionality.

Clearly Lando half the people in this thread supporting "hellaflush" are retarded and obviously can't tell the difference between a nice tuck and wheels versus retarded camber, stretched tires and generally idiotic decisions. I think it's time this crap gets closed. Besides if we don't support street racing, we shouldn't support going above the mechanical limitations in a manner unsafe to others on the road either.

That looks so bad.

No rules have been broken, but I concur on the sentiment in bold.

I like a good stance. I dd my car, so its on stock suspension for the sake of my back. But I love to look at these:

Over in Subaru land we call it "aggressive wheels." I can pull plenty of examples, I just happen to have some from the Forester site. Those bagged cars that are super stretched look goofy, but I dont care. Drifters always seem to run a bit of stretch, maybe added sidewall stiffness?

 

[LandoAWD]

^^Still not "Hellaflush".

I thought this was going to be a thread showing off some nice wheel fitment on DSM's:disappointed:. And since when is have proper wheel fitment considered being a ricer? Maybe we don't all think its cool to rock out some pepboys, 17x7 +34 that are sunken battleship so bad you can fit you hed between the tire and the fender. Have any of you ever driven a car with stretched tires? Stretch tires are done for a reason, they handle amazingly. You should never have a tire that's wider than the rim, so if you do the math, a 225 tire should be mounted on a 9" rim, not bulging over your 7". These are things you will learn when you start setting cars up for road racing and time attack.

Please stop talking. You clearly have no clue how rims and tires work.

?Uh, 17x7 +34 will be roughly even with the wheel well. Also, you probably meant "head".

I've driven a car with 225s on a 10". It did not handle "amazingly" and isn't the reason for "Hellaflush". (see thread title)

I'll let DG know, though all of that is irrelevant to Hellaflush.

Is the thread title unclear?



Edit: Just to be crystal clear, you're giving road racing advice (suspension and tires) running GR2s with S-Techs, all the while "street tuning" for your shop?

Wow, just wow.

 

[kidtsi]

if hellaflush is for good handling time attack, and/or road race why Andrew isn't running them?

You are an idiot. You did not help my cause for how cool stretched tires look. FU@K

i agree. on SOME cars it looks ok. that eclipse up there doesnt look that bad but on an awd or something of performance i think its pointless. THAT kinda stuff is for showing up, parking and showing it off.

 

[Fotowntalon]

Make sure after you add that flush look you go for the sweet bike rack addition after!

Motherfu$king money.

 

[Dr Funkenstein]

Stupid stupid fad. I see this crap on a lot of VWs. I've only seen one case in which I've liked it. And its from a member on another forum who did it as a joke. Well, his whole truck is a joke. But in an awesome way.

[black_gst]

we should start a Hellafunctional thread and people can post pics with info for anythine over a 245 wide tire. a thread like that could actually be usefull!

hellaflush is for cars that are slow, so they gotta make sure they look good!

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

You people just dont get it. Maybe because i have appreciation for anything nice and expensive. These people who are hardcore put more money into rims and tires than what id say 50 percent of everyone posted in here spend on aftermarket parts for their car. Like 4k in just Borbets or BBs rims or volks. These mother####ers are hardcore. And some have 2-3 sets of rims like that. Its a fashion just like women have 100 pairs of shoes. SAme thing

 

[tsidrift1]

Agreed, It will never sit right with dsm guys. Most dsm guys dont appreciate anything nice, nor do they care to have anything nice. They just want big power, the cheapest way they can get it. There are only a select few dsms that I even like anymore. Most are just quickly put together garbage.

Sorry, but its true. I hate to be the "debbie downer" here, but its a shame what dsms have become. Again, I am not saying there are not some nice ass dsm's around, but the majority, are just garbage.

Thats something I enjoy about evos, everyone appreciates a nice ass car, with some power to have fun in. You can show off your new rims, nicer interiors, the evo crowd enjoys that stuff.

Shit, there are even nice dsms that get talked bad about, because, the cars are not meant to be show cars, they are just "go fast" cars. WTF is that all about?

Its a blessing in disguise that my car blew up over the summer.

Well said.

 

[SpawnedX]

Nothing you said is true. The only thing true is hellaflush guys prove that they can waste money. Just because you spend thousands on rims doesn't mean you are hardcore, it means you spent a lot of money on something that more times than not is useless and dangerous.

I know a ton of hellaflush guys too with great paint jobs and stretched tires. Sure their hardcore alright, , especially when they can't even tell you the last time they changed their oil, because they need to do everything to save their money for new tires.
