      You should try your 14 inch tire on some 18s for max sidewall stiffness and handling

        Wouldn't it be better if you had it 14" but nitrogen tires instead?

          Yeah, nitrogen is worth at least 1 extra inch of wheel diameter. Nitrogen is also good for an an extra 1" on your penis ;)

            Wrong, nitrogen only makes your penis more stable in the winter months...

                        Argon gets you 2" on your penis.

                        It also comes with cool purple valve stem caps.

                            iX wheels are the same design as euroweaves but have a 41mm offset whereas euros are 24mm. Both are 15x7.

                                offset is the distance the tire extends past the lip of the wheel. That's why stancehomos have whats called negative offset, cuz the tires are undersized for the wheel and have to be stretched just to reach the bead surface. Also no one mentioned that the +1" naming convention of BBS wheels is because BBS is the epitome of quality and doesn't skimp anywhere, especially on wheel size. It's rather unique, most shitty made chinese castings are only +1/4" or so, whilst OEM japanese are +1/2", and americans are +3/4". It's all pretty simple once you get used to it.

                                Also how'd you know that red car had hella smileys, I think they look more bosch like.
