I love the Takada wheels....but WTF is the point of running a 10" rim if your only putting 255 tires on it? You could do that on an 8.5". I run 245's on 8" rims.
On the photos the rim sticks out further than the tire...that's not right.
You need to pull them arches and run 315's on a 10" rim.

255 is good enough. gives a nice look, is not like he is going to track the car. plus 315 tires cost twice as much.

10" wide wheels pretty much call for about a 285mm tire to keep the sidewall mostly straight.
But these are pretty much show cars, so it doesn't really matter about tire wear/performance, it's purely a style thing.

Yeah, I feel the same. But, I tend to use and abuse my car more than others. At a performance standpoint having cupped tires is a no/no.

these hellaflush guys have awesome looking rides...the takada green wheels look nice.
I guess it's not all about turning lap times at autoX
