    Ive seen this car on multiple forums but never an in depth article about it. Is there a place to find one? This car is beautiful and i want to know what has been done throughout his build.

    Maybe ask in the Corrado forum. Might have better luck there.

    Tires don't fit, suspension appears to be busted. I'd like a closer look at the black one in the last pic, though.

    I would be stoked to own or drive any one of those cars in those photos. Euro style.

    I've seen worse. Will be looking at the build thread though.
    It's more like it than it was before.

    Because how much a wheel costs is a good indicator of the quality or esthetics? You much JIMP over a $30g set of 32" wheels.

    carlines are about as high quality of a wheel as you can find, not only that but the rarity of said wheel is also a huge factor.

    I dont care if you dont like the style, or the tires or whatever else everyone in TCL will pick apart... 95% of the people in this section are clueless idiots trying to get buying advice on their next family sedan/minivan.

    that car has ALOT more than wheels and a roll cage going on.

    way too low for what?

    how do you know what roads/tracks he drives on?

    and since when are you some type of authority on how low someone else can run their car?

    No one cars about expensive wheels in TCL. Actually there is only a very small percentage of people who give two ****s about wheels on a car. I can appreciate them, but its annoying when someone things their car is super siqqq just because they financed the wheels.

    Lol, if you seriously think he drives that car on a track you have issues

    And even if he does his suspension geometry is all messed up being that low. It is not beneficial for handling contrary to popular belief.

    I wouldn't bank on thinking only members of these boards thinks this car is silly. Does it have its followers? Sure. But I bet the majority of car people would think its silly. Its kind of like a poser mobile.
