And, for the record, while the wheels on the first car look good, I'd hate to see what happens the first time they hit a bump...
The car on the bottom will handle better in the corners, simply cuz it will allow for more body roll. The top car will rub like a champ.
And don't tell me what I do/don't know. You're not my dad. I could care less what you drive or what you know. All I know, is that you're an ass who thinks he's the man, but in all reality, is the WOMAN.

Most people know more about the computer they buy than their wheels. All they know about the wheels is what theey look like in a picture, not how they should fit on their car, or what effects how they fit on their car. They only know what other people tell them fits. They don't actually experiment and find out what really fits. Or what can be made to fit. Sorry if that's harsh but it is generally very true.

Did you pull that out of your ass? I mean seriously please tell me you based that on something more than "body roll" last time i checked LESS body roll = better handeling.

Take a car with the stock wheels. When the steering wheel turns the front wheels move in an arc. With less offset, that arc is not only further from the axis on which its turning, but moving in a greater distance.
I've been racing karts for over 20 years, and one of the things that effects handling the most is that arc. So, while low offset may look good, it upsets the handling characteristics the engineers designed into the car. Yes, you can use that to your advantage in certain circumstances, but generally that just translates into more push and less front end traction...

I didn't mean to bash your wheels really.. just let you know there are other options out there that probably look better. But that is personal preference. However, i think it's important that people are aware of their options.
