ignorance and an idea that all wheels must be performance oriented (these were staggered, and the tires stretched....so many people had a problem with it 
)

that means they are wider on one end than the other (usually wider on the back)
eg 17x7 in the front and 17 x 9 on the rear wheels
this is mainly used on rear wheel drive cars like a 911 or viper, in the case of a fwd it would be just for looks and actually hurts dynamics, that is why people were talking smack to him. makes me sad when people don't appreciate different goals from there own
lol fj0 beat me to it by 60 seconds

that is actually a new styling trend in japan because the track cars started doing it....it definitely looks like it means buisness. I kinda like it, but prefer the other staggering better

yah...although it is even being done on EVO's and STI's which are non-FWD. It's all about having a little less grip in back

That is an interesting thought to have wider wheels on the front. I think I will just keep it safe and go with the same size all around, however.
The wearing out the wheels quickly doesn't bother me too much. They would be primarily used for autocross.
Seems like I am not the only one in love with the C8 modulars as per MU.

it's a fake and looks it (when up close). I saw them at waterfest and they just look like cheap konigs
half of the "coolness" of bbs RS's if that they are so rare and require you to restore them to look good. Buying some cheap tuner wheels just doesnt do it for me in this case. And they arent even 3 piece (or 2 piece like the RM's).....meh
