"BBS LM" rip off ebay specials....

Just like them because I can't afford the genuine ones! Nice bit of polished dish, got mazdaspeed centres to make them seem more OEM. Popped on some 15mm spacers which makes them sit just flush with the arches. Got some flush fit valves too, which helps keep the lip unspoiled.

The picture makes the ride height seem stupid, on level ground it looks fine (sitting on tein s-techs)

After weeks of searching the web and forums for the wheels i wanted, i decided to go for a set of 18" x 8" Wolfrace Asiatec JDM alloys in satin black with offset ET35 and no spacers. I found they fill the front arches a little better but could probably do with a 10mm spacer on the rear. Oh, and a lowering kit!

Is the stretched tyre look when the rim protrudes out?

Yes, when the width of the rim between the beads is much wider than the contact patch of the tyre

I haven't gone mental on the stretch. The tyre bead is still in full contact with the rim.
I understand it's not to everyone's taste, but we all have different tastes/views which brings diversity to the way our cars look.
