maybe not to you. different strokes for different folks. when done right and on the right vehicle it looks good. granted, it's not for my taste or driving style (or miami potholes), but i can see the appeal when done right. there is a limit though, and my like it window is small.

Well, my opinion about not liking it and my comment of "different" not equaling "good" are unrelated.
"Different" should never automatically be "good". Using electronic voting machines in the last Presidential elections was different; does that mean they were good, despite being able to be broken into and hacked to a degree of total control without a trace in under a minute?
I can totally see the appeal when done right, sure. I've seen when it's done right, and it's not bad. I just found that VW in particular to look goofy at best, dangerous and poorly done at worst.

I came from a forum where everyone stretched their tires haha
I thought about doing it on my tC because i do like the look of it but decided against it at the last minute.

The way I see it, there's a difference between that classy stretched tire look (see: black Golf, kiss_kiss_kill), and it just looking like you bought the wrong tire size for your rims (see: all other pictures) or you're trying too hard and just coming off as "HAY WORLD LOOK AT ME MY TIRES DON'T REALY FIT MY RIMS LOL".
