... oh that delivered the lulz for me.when done correctly its not "that" unsafe... more dangerous for tire wear and the lip of the rim which will suffer the most abuse lol its a bit a extreme but its a trend so let it be.

i've been a vwvortex member since 2002 (back when I had a dub), and anyone there who knows better (typcially vortex veterans) will agree those examples are no good. its not a safety issue, its just downright ugly.

thats when someone tries to be cool and pretends they know their isht and goes to photobucket and just searches for photos.

Bad examples of stretch? Wasnt that one car a Top Dog competitor at H2O? I think its safe to say those are all vehicles with a serious stretch.. not a little poking of the rim. Im sure his point wasn't to post the safest stretch, but rather simply.. a stretch.
He never claimed it was safe... but you can't deny he was posting some seriously stretched wheels.
Of course this is SL... so theres always gotta be someone bringing negativity to a thread.

I do not, nor will I ever, want to, be driving in, around, or even remotely near the VW in question.
I can understand stretching, much as I personally disagree with it's aesthetic value... but putting that much stress on a tire not only from such an extreme stretching, but from the absolutely horrific suspension and alignment on that car (particularly on the rear wheels) is a recipe for total disaster.

Just remember, kids, "different" does not automatically equal "good".
