AJ, It's not a threat...it's a warning that quite a few members here on 6GC are going for the HellaFlush look.
I personally think it looks good on some vehicles and like rubbish on others; my 6GC will never be HellaFlush. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

I think it looks garbage. The only time I've liked it is seeing it on Vdubs. Other than that...to me, that S2k up there looks like crap. I'd much rather see it with some nice 17's that are just flush with the fender, sans the insane camber and stretched tires.

Hella flush is all about stance. It does nothing for performance unless you want to drift (if your on stretched tires.) Flush doesn't always mean your on stretched tires with a good amount of poke outside your fenders as some seem to think that's all it is. Basically the goal is to have your wheels flush with the fenders. Just wheels is not gonna get you the right stance though. you have to dump your car (preferably on bags) with the right camber and a good fender roll to achieve flush fitment. I'm working on it with my 6gc. Its all personal preferance. I don't like the sucked in look to me it's unattractive. So I'm going for some deep dished goodness with streched tires and a lil poke.
 to each his own

i personally like the "flush" look, but it doesn't serve a function... crazy offsets are bad for bearings, and cause poor handling. along with being flush a lot of guys stretch tires. again it looks good, but no point really. bad tire wear and loss in performance. flush looks good, but it isn't ideal for daily driving.
