Ok noob question....what exactly is "oni" camber...when I hear oni I think demon

 

^Exactly what translates to, from what literature I've ran into lol.

 

Lol I know I am just curious what it means in reference to camber..I am assuming it is a crazy amount but just want to know for sure haha

 

Search!!! lmao

That's to easy hahaha that's what I thought it was...I just wasn't sure if it was a specific degree of camber or not

 

Oni Camber to the max.

I don't think he'll have to go this insane but I think it'll be way more than the usual 4 degree camber everyone does

 

nicee they came out sick!!

 

by the way, the xB up there is running -100 offset

 

William, can you post up more pictures of the wheel at different angles so we could get a better insight of how the face flip looks.

Interesting indeed.

 

oni was pretty much a phrase that became sorta popular to say among the young and hip kids in some parts of japan but died out years ago, but still lives on in america b/c the young and hip kids here keep saying 'oni-camber'. It's pretty much just a pre-fix that means "very" or "a lot".
oni-umei=="super good" (food taste-wise)

there's also "bari" that popped up a bit a few years ago, but most people just say "chou."

/japanese lesson.

 

I have a set of fender flares...let me know.

 

 

Update 3/1/11
Wsup guys! :D
Already March? Dammit..anyways,
probably some of you guys are saying "what the... " "yea right..like that's gonna work out.." "Psh!"
but it's all good! I'm doing this b/c of an inspiration and will try to make it work out for sure. Here's an updated story of how well things are going.
(All Phone pics)

Here is how the wheel looks like when the face was mounted from the back. Looks much cleaner and better IMO.


Highly Polished Lips (was the inner barrel) done by Simple Wheel Werks (Check these guys out. The best guys in the refinishing/Powdercoating/repairing wheel services)


Actual Lip size. Insane? Hell yes.


and the amount of poke, which was about 4.5 inches away from the fender.

soooo because I wanted to try this wheel on my inspiration's car, I took it to him last Sunday and see how it fitted. He had Endless BBK's and the wheel couldn't clear it, so we had to add an 8mm spacer. Result?


Pretty crazy eh?
So I realized that if it didn't work on his car, it wouldn't work on mine. FYI, the car that I fitted on only pulled the quarter panels and touched it up to look like OEM, which is what I'm planning to do. He is running more than -6 camber.


Took the wheel back home to mount the face, not from the back, but from the front to lessen the negative offset. Result?


not too much of a difference, but a slight reduction by mm's will help a lot in making these wheels fit.


How it looks like today. Not too good looking, but I can bare with it. There are spaces between the lip and the face which I'm a bit concerned, but tightening down those 26 rivets, i hope, will make it stay safe. I mean....just doing this ain't safe at all right? :D


I can do it!!!

More updates later on!!
I have to order Hotchkis Camber Arms so let me know which site has them for a good price.
Current thx: Simple Wheel Werks, Camberd, Low N Slow, Luigi, David Pham, Eddie (thx for the stockies!), Matt from BP VIP, Edgar Lozoya, Ben (BlktC), ShootingStar, Night-Import, M2-Motoring.

 

HOLY SH*T! I love it!!!

 

LOL @ the last picture. Did that come with the wheels?

 

epic.

 

i was planning to end this by this week, but I really don't want to rush and b/c Eddie helped me out with stockies, i'll be taking my time.
As mentioned above, if any of you guys got some hook ups on Hotckis Rear Camber arms, let me know

 

i still dont see how w/o widebody...

 

Looked good in person, I think its possible.

I'm running 17x10 et0 with -3.2ish camber, rolled/pulled stock fenders.

I think with around -6.5 or -7 camber, and a decent pull they will look good.

 

crazyyy! i actually like how they look with the face mounted from the outside better too. looking forward to seeing them mounted on the car and everything. goodluck!
