Hi Tangcla,

Your car looks awesome. Extremely well thought out and executed.
The small parts that fit behind each wheel like small mud flaps, are they JDM aero spats or JDM side strakes? and where did you get them from? Thanks.

Great pics as well.

They're the JDM aero spats. THe one in front of my rear wheel is the side strake.

Really? Wow, learn something new everyday. I always thought the one behind your front wheel was just the strake but turned around. Now I know the difference between a strake and a spat!

Tangcla,
Did you notice any difference caused by the change of wheel offset at all? Handling, tracking, tyre wear?
I am looking for something different from stock wheels, and yours are the best option I have seen so far....

To be honest, not a great deal - changing offset will only make a very slight change.

Then again... I've done a LOT more suspension mods to notice any difference in handling by just changing wheels' 6mm offset

Okay, thats fair. Do you have any tendency to tramline (follow ruts, grooves), or any other adverse effects? Only available ex japan?

Tramlining is due to the contact surface area, which so happens to fall on tram tracks. Alignment is able to reduce a fair degree of this.

The wheels are sold in Japan only.

Anyone who's not familiar with the "light painting" exposure technique would have to assume that they were

and whats the light painting technique

Not sure, but at a guess maybe 40mm?

I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about photography, but I am fairly confident in explaining this in laymen's terms being a laymen myself.

If you put the shutter speed of a camera to an insanely slow speed / manually open and close the shutter in a pitch black environment you can then use sources of light (example glow sticks) to 'paint' details into a photo / illuminate certain parts of a photo more than others.

Liar. You do know something about photography/light painting
