Check out the past, present, and future of offset suspension and wheels in the import scene in the Wrenchin' section of this months issue.Know Your Roots
Car customization has always been about form versus function. But the import industry's roots were established in street racing and, in the beginning, all that mattered was dominating the quarter mile-whether it was on the track or on the back streets of SoCal, function ruled and everything else was lame. Aesthetic issues like how a well a particular wheel and tire fit inside its fender were considered afterthoughts. But the market's evolved and all sorts of trends have come and gone; some of them have stood the test of time. The trend as of late? Aggressive wheel offsets. Low, burly, near-zero offsets-offsets you'd never expect to find on a FWD car-offsets paired with massive amounts of negative camber just to get them to work. It's been the rage for some time, but do you know the history behind it? Do you know where it all came from? It wasn't invented yesterday.
