Honestly I don't mind the OC, it's good that not all of the 5s out there are drift slags and wide arched racekors.

What I don't like is some of their open judgement on modifications. I wouldn't dream of going up to them and saying "your arch gap is gash, and the chrome is even worse". It's just a shame to segregate themselves like that, you can learn great stuff from the community, even if you don't like the mods they've done.

You have one of the lightest OEM wheels, adding 25+ mm spacers would add quite a lot of un-sprung weight, which kinda makes having those wheels pointless. So maybe heavier reps isn't all that bad?
