Some very nice cars. A huge clot of abortion though... Bolt on arches? Check. Bags? Check.
Bolt on arches, bags and a garish colour with tacky wheels? Double check...

The VW Scirocco and the Renault 5 Turbo! The Porsche is cool too!

Thanks for posting!

Which widebody was the GT Haus? There were so many widebody M3 there

The P1800 Wagon and the other vintage Volvo's were amazing! And the old Mercedes

As for this, I think it is kind of a thing. Not my taste, but neither is max negative camber. To each his own.

they obviously don't drive around with the bumper off, it's because they showing off the twin turbo and exhaust system. After all Fast Intentions is an exhaust system company.

Amazing pics and cars. Thanks for posting these up.

orangeglim · 09-11-2016, 08:44 AM

Cool pics! Maybe I'm too new to the car scene, but what's up with the rims that are way to wide for the tires mounted on them? Is that a thing?

INDVDL///M · 09-11-2016, 10:32 PM

Thank you for sharing your pictures!

I have to say, this year's Big SoCal Euro 2016 was a huge success. We easily exceeded the expected numbers. We literally filled the parking lot of Qualcomm Stadium (Largest Parking lot in the NFL).

Is purely aesthetic, people with rims too big to fit their arches do it to not rub, but its dangerous and I am personally not a fan of the look, belongs more in the jdm crowd.

08TUNDRA · 09-14-2016, 12:13 AM

Was here for this event and It was amazing, was really cool to see the euro crowd all together, for once im not rippin on my buddies with Audis XD if anyone has second thoughts about going next year its definitely yes from me and the drag racing in the back was cool, would have participated but I gotta do my rear main seal its leaking.

There is a limit to having the wheel rim larger than the proper fitment for the tire. Drift racers commonly do it. It's actually common in specific types of Motorsport as well. Of course, when you have rim widths that show bead, that is over the top. Most cases, if you are within the tire specs recommended widths you are good. 295 width tire is perfect for a 10.5" width wheel, but it's common for BMW owners to go with a 11" width wheel for a 295. Nothing wrong with a slight stretch, but when your trying to put a 235 on a 10.5", yeah that's a stretch. I'm for 0.5" stretch, but anything over that, I agree is unsafe.

Thanks dmikheal619. That's very nice of you to say. I hope to see you on the drag strip next year.

FYI, we already have a tentative date for 2017 !! https://www.facebook.com/events/1014416625337132/
