That's cool, you do know your stance will change when you drop it.
Nice wheels.

I dunno im not feeling the look. Im also not feeling the rims since they are Primax/Sportmax.

I'm going to have to agree, then again I shouldn't be sorry because people who post up non-VIPstyled/EXE rides are asking for an assault.
Props on you mounting rims that fit better than most xB's out there though.

what this mean is...
you will get negative chambers by dropping the car
the lower you go, the more negative camber angle you get
which is kind of cool to have

actually no its not like that on bB/xbs. its got a solid rear axle, so no matter how low you go, you're not gonna be cambering.
look decent, but yea, needs a drop bad. a 4" drop and that thing would be hot.

actually it will camber but not enough to matter.. i think like -.5 - -1 tops.... but yeah def need to lower. I will say it looks better than alot of the xB's that are running civic wheels but def needs drop and camber...
thanks for the support, yea i know i need to drop the damn thing. right now im saving up as we speak for some tein basics,i get a pretty good hookup threw a shop i go threw so i might as well buy them brand new. but that wont be to later. my concern is wen i do drop my box,say i drop it were it meets the fender,do you think that would be a problem when i hit a hump in the road,will it screw up my fender? i already cut the fenders,i was thinking about getting the -3 degree camber from otg since i already have the spacers that way the rim can kind of go into fender,will that help?

^^ nice pic of wayne's wheel... nah it moght hit but not too bad.... my tires look like a bag of Sargento shredded cheese in some spot because I ride WAY TOO LOW... lol and not enough camber in the front. but seriously if you camber the wheels in a little you should be ok,...
yea thats what i was thinkin it would do.i already ordered my tein,and i still need to order the rest of camber shims from otg.

to be honest, it doesn't look good :(
well to each his own.. i have to agree the rims look wierd cuz of the color. but now since i dropped it and put the negative camber it actually looks good. i was thinkin about changin the color on the rims to like a darker silver but they kind of grew on me. but later ill see whats up.since im showin at HIN ill post up some picsnsince my car is gonna be super detailed up the ass i figure thats the time to take pics.
