It might just be me, but I feel like these are trends that come and go while timeless looks tend to live on.

I guess all fads live on as niche segments, but almost anyone, no matter what their preferred car culture is, can appreciate a '68 Charger on some well fitted wheels and rubber. A '64 Chevy with candy paint. Lambo's and Ferrari's in their stock state. I might be completely off base, but I think the camber scene eventually goes the way of the fat rear wheel choppers.

Not trying to offend anyone, not saying one is better than another and not even saying I hate any of it, but for me it's worth appreciating as a moment in car culture time, and that's about it.

Shit, then again, what do I know.
But let us think about this. Is it truly a "fad"? Fads tend to only last a season...maybe a year? tire stretching has been around since at least 2004, first time I ever saw it was on a friends rhd conversion 240sx.

VIP was always known for the extreme camber look. I remember browsing Junction Produce's website back around the same time..I think.

anyway my argument is that it's not really a fad, it just isn't as underground as it was in the past.

btw thank you for not going full out "hellaflush fitment shit sucks" route. respect
