Maybe a bit impractical weight wise on these cars but who cares, they're just sitting in a showroom anyway. You guys act like someone cut up the cars, put some Type-R badge on it, converted it to FWD and welded a huge spoiler onto the roof. I cant believe ud freak out like that, kinda childish if i do say so.
I just find it wrong, even if they are bolt on accesories. Let me give you another example of this. In Ukraine I lived in Lviv(a city) its a beautiful ancient city with architecture like no where else. And the fuckers from the city hall give permission to advertisers to put ad's and huge billboards on some of the best buildings in the city, when they can always put it somewere else. Yes they are "bolt on" things but it kind of kills the whole picture doesnt it? We got something thats hundreds of years old with a big Coca-Cola ad on it. Same goes for the cars. The McLaren is one of best ever road legal cars produced, and there are only 70 or so of them. Maybe I'm wrong, but if a car was produced in such small quantites and developed a huge image over the years of its existance, I'd keep it as original as possible. Putting some new chrome rims on it, is like an insult to McLarens disagners.


P.S Whats up with tire brands here? Nitto rubber on a Macca? LOL That rubber is so cheap it will probably colapse at 280kph. But who care's ehh? Its not like these rappers drive these cars anyway. They only get them cause they cost a couple of million.

Ferrari 360 with Toyo tires??? Or is Toyo better then Michelin and Pirelli these days???
