If you wanna see some herra flush cars, head over to the w203 coupe section, not the amg section. I've seen some ugly cars here, but why make a thread about it like the highly intelligent op has done?

You're telling me that stretching narrow tires over really wide wheels poses no risk? Not just a risk to the driver but to those around him when something fails? Or wheels sitting at ridiculous negative camber? When a component fails because it was never meant to be used in that manner?
I know you could argue that adding massive horsepower to a vehicle makes it unsafe, but you can always drive an 800hp car at normal speeds with all safety measures in place.
I have an opinion, which everyone is entitled to one of their own, and my opinion is that stance and VIP look retarded and I will never accept nor associate with a member of that community.

I'm not gonna say that extremes don't exist, and I personally don't like the VIP/Oni camber look, but I respect the passion and work they put into it. I know a lot of people like you, and there will always be people like you. That's fine. With every car brand/type you get people like this. I don't really have much to say, except that you are definitely exaggerating the dangers of stretching tire. Yes, at a certain point you can have too much stretch. Most people in the scene aren't taking the tire widths to that limit. And many of those cars have plenty of power and drive their cars hard and every day with out problems or posing dangers.
And if you think this looks retarded, so be it. I think its the best a car can look, and I think everyone finds a point between this and pure performance for their cars.

You know what, I did like that look. I liked it when I used to buy Import Tuner and watched Fast and Furious, when I wanted a sweet Civic SI and when I still rode the bus to school. Then I grew up and my taste became more "refined" I guess.
People like what they like. I don't like that.

Oh boy can you generalize.
Not to be rude, but is it safe to assume most of you fall under the category of believing that the only wheels that look good are Brabus and OEM reps? Maybe some Carlsson's thrown in there too if you're feeling crazy?

I'm just bustin' your ***** PWW. You've obviously got more common sense than the half-wit that started this thread. If you like the stance scene that's fine. It's obviously got it's place inside the MB Community, however the AMG crowd probably wants nothing to do with it.

I understand how it would want nothing to do with it. Hell I don't even want my C55 to be "stanced". I'm running a 255 on a 9.5 and can't wait to go 265 (lost to a kids Impreza by .00x seconds, haven't heard the end of it since.. all thanks to a little tire spin)If anything I'd be looking to take this route (speaking about tire/wheel and stance strictly) when I do get coilovers.

I can understand both sides. I have many many friends who are into the VIP scene. They love to slam their cars with gigantic expensive wheels.
Personally, I have nothing against it. Some look nice, while some don't. It's just a style that people prefer.
But that picture of that IS...does no justice to the point you are trying to get across. That is a horrible example of a clean VIP car.

I am loving the obligatory race car tow hook on the right front and arrow pointing at it . As if this car is really tracked???

Rub and clearance are some issues I encounter while trying to DD my car...yes it is a PITA sometimes, but my satisfaction of not knowing what wheel gap is seems justifiable. CF front lip soon will make DD a real adventure 
However, I would not consider myself into the VIP or stance scene, I just like my car low...
anyways, this thread sucks.

I always thought VIP was one style....I went to a meeting not to long ago and the cars all looked the same. Gigantic wheels with slammed cars + other mods.

VIP style is more of the bigger cars, dumped on full face wheels, curtains, tv's. interior made to look like a limo.. Pretty cool when done right with the right car.
