Booyah.

From the same guy who brought you the 'is the suspension broken?' white mkII Golf.

They're going on a mk1 Polo...

Can't wait to see it all finished...

they look awesome cant wait to see them on the car!

 

[Morba]

I dont understand why

 

[Puzzled]

Doesn't that weaken the tyre at all?

Seems a lot of stress on the sidewall.

To get wide wheels under stock arches.

Can't we have a thread for extreme camber/slammed cars, stretched rubber and old school/rusty stuff and call it The Penski Thread?

Everything else seems to be categorized (ie, Youtube Videos Thread, Daily Encounters Thread..etc etc) so why not this as it seems to crop up so often and its obviously not to everyone's taste.

The buyer seems to have got the tyre width and rim width mixed up

I would prefer to see full wide wheels rather than just the alloy.

If you don't like it then do three things:

1, Don't open the thread.
2, Don't read the thread.
3, Make a thread of your own showing something you like.

If you think a thread is inappropriate for the forum then use the RTM function. That's what it is there for.

If you can't do that then sit down, shut up and stop whinging.

Looks like the beading will pop off the rim at the first pot hole !!!

I think what he meant was actually not against the pictures/tyre stretching at all but more at that all things like this are in one easy to find place.

Have to say, don't normally like the stretched tyres, but that one looks cool...I think it's the green and black rim that does it.

Although the streched tyres look stupid, the wheels look rather cool

wide alloys and wide tyres, not some wheels that look like those vans/minibuses that have the centre section of the wheel poking out

How do you stretch tyres? (I know nothing about tyre fitting as you can tell!)

IIRC Penski posted pictures showing someone putting some sort of flammable liquid into the alloy with the tyre on then lighting it..

** WOOOSH ** Tyre majically fits

EDIT - TOO Late

What the.........

You just put the tyre over the rim, stick some break cleaner stuff in and light it? Is that it?

 

[Maxeh]

I do like a little bit of stretch but thats a tad mental, MK1's dont need 10s to look good.

They do the same with the snow trucks over in Antartica when the tyres come off the rim due them running on such low pressures, Crazy
