    The car itself isnt rice, the wheels on the car make it rice.

    yeah he's right. sometimes negative camber is good. it grips better on a course..just slightly but that can make all the difference

    I don't know the exact degree...I'm not exactly talking about having the tire sitting on the inside only, but negative camber is good to a certain extent. Bad for daily but negative camber is good when utilized right. Just like everything else in a car.

    I'm not talking about a small degree of negative camber, I'm talking about when about half of the tire is making contact with the road.

    My car also came from the factory with color matched wheels so I win.
    Yeah I'm not talking about your case, that looks good to me.
