This poor mercedes...
You know, I've always been an OEM guy. I respect some of the legitimate mods that are done by the folks here on the forum. But honestly I just love to look at my car and respect the engineering that's gone into it. (Which is probably increased by the fact I don't know how most of it works, after all I'm a computer geek I just enjoying driving)

One thing I really hate though, is rice. I see stuff like this and think..wow really.

Its not the wheels, its the camber. Its referred to as oni camber, its a popular trend coming out of the VIP styling in Japan. To each his own. I personally am a fan of stance, but I do draw the line at a certain point.

By infinite do you mean Infiniti? Or do you mean infinite, as in immeasurably or inconceivably great? Now I'm really confused

Ugliest conversion, you can see all the gaps, and where things don't align properly for a clean look.

They could have saved money and skipped the embarrassment if they just bought a Benz and lowered it. lol

If you are familiar with the H2O international car show, these might look familiar. Guy basically got pulled over for "too much camber"
