Yes, I have already said it's irrational, doesn't mean that I can't think like it. I'm sick to death of the scene, and for it to rebrand itself into one of taste doesn't work with me.
It's not the case of an entire scene rebranding itself though, is it? All that's happened is that someone has posted photos of the (non-stanced) cars onto a website that specialises in stanced cars. So your prejudice against those cars is as a result of where the images are hosted.

I'm not talking about the scene rebranding itself as something of taste, I'm talking about the site in question, and from there you are correct. Having a visually-based memory can be a curse!

I've just realised, anyone of the scene disagreeing with me, I can call them 'haters'.... hehe That'll be a red rag to the crowd.

I still think the tyre on the front looked stretched, it is possible it's just an effect of the contrast but the rim of the wheel looks too proud of the tyre to be fitted correctly. Also the weeds in the concrete, instagram style filter, graffiti in the background e.t.c. all make the shoot look cliched and detract from the car, IMO.

I honestly don't know how you can even see the wall of the tyres to tell if they're stretched or not?

The tyres are almost absolute black like the arch, you cannot see them.

EFA, I said a few pages earlier that I liked the car apart from the wheels/tyres and now because it's been posted so many times the tired cliched way it has been photographed to fit in with the stanceworks house style is irritating as well.

For those with poor screens

You're brightness is way too high if you can see that, mines setup to be colour correct.

Yeah I can see where the edge of the tyre is, but it doesn't look stretched to me, its the perspective I think. But we need a better photo to check.

Personally I don't like stretched tyres or the stupid massive camber thing.
From what I've seen on here from the "stancework" pictures I can't really see what the fuss is about.. take a 70s car, lower, put wheels on.. surely we've been doing this forever ?

Random pics, one or two are a bit naff, but the cars are great smile

This one is from dons hot rod page ( www.donshotrodpage.net ) always worth a look after a big californian show

So you agree I can see them and not as you said earlier "you can't see them". Amazingly I can vary the brightness of my display, I can do this independently of altering the colours shown as well, or did you mean your screen was brightness correct? Correct for what?

Annoyingly no photos of the most important part.

Got it from here. Guess it's time to decide the tyres are stretched and it's lowered too much hehe
