flares

i like this kind of flare, simple but something different and not crazy. imagine if the flares were painted to match the car.


anyone have any idea wat cars these came off of? only ones i know r the late 80s and early 90s american cars but cant remember their name.

if the car was lower and the flares were the color of the car maybe i'd agree. but just as it is it helps draw too much attention to the hidieus gap beween the car and the tires.

yea thats wat im saying, i know it will look alot better if the car was lowered and color-matched the car. i think these look better and lower profile than the huge flares that require u to have super wide wheels or low *** offset to not have the sunken battle ship look

how do you plan on mounting them? seems that you would lose a lot of wheel clearance if you were to have any kind of decent mounting area.

Personally, I think its pretty dumb. The main purpose of flares is to run wider wheels/tires...if you like it though, go for it.

who didnt say anything about mexicans. you guys were talking about vigin marys on the hood with your name airbrushed on your car with wheels sticking out 5 inch. lol never seen anybody else drive around like that. no offense to mexicans tho, it was actually a compliment, crazy -50 offsets on 8in wide tires ftw lol.
