These are Decent Rims !! especially since for some Dish is over and done with
if ya like a more Racer look and they are Damn Perfect Sizes with just a little roll of the Guards nothing to INSANE!!!!! not to mention light as all fark. and Are Decent JDM rims not Knock offs
FAAAAAAARRRRRRK.....! now these do it for me on the spot..!!

The red/white ones are the only ones with style.. but you'd need a huge of work on the car to make it look alright. ie colour matched car, the right type of car (probably not an aristo), etc etc. They have potential but yeahhh not on an Aristo, maybe a van? I could see them on like an Alphard or something, painted bright red/orange/yellow.
The others are just "look how much dish we can get".
The whole bippu style of -10++ degrees of camber is fine for shows and stuff I guess, but I think it looks dumb and so do a huge amount of other people, even within 'the scene'. It's basically the old vip styles then just add a decade or two of people trying to out-do eachother with more width, more neg offset and more camber... and you get fitments like that. It's dangerous, it's impractical, it's dangerous, and a lot of people simply think it doesn't even look nice... so why do it? just so you can brag about having more offset/camber than the next guy? *shrug* I prefer a car that looks nice over one where you need to point to your data sheet to tell people how 'cool' it is, or one that looks like the wheels weren't bolted on straight.
oh and did I mention it's dangerous?
For those not in the know, Weds Kranze are an incredibly well respected rim company and produce top quality gear, but those LXZ's don't do it justice because they look all chromey and like they're made in china. Also they're a silly size, but mostly I think it's due to the finish on them.
eg. this is them in silver, and with a beautiful flush fitment instead of whatever you'd need to do to fit the above mentioned rims.
plus they're still a decent size: 19x11 -3 on the rear... a fair way short of 19x11.5 -18 let alone 19x12 -45
This is (imo) flush, and a good flush fitment. If you wanna be a flush nazi, at least push for the right kind of flush, not going around telling people they need double digit negative offsets or double digit negative camber to be cool.
But maybe that's just me. _________________
