    Toe is what eats up tires, not camber.

    Anyways, to answer Erika's question, go with BBS RGR's. Don't support the replica companies like 99.8% of IA does. Have you looked on Craigslist for a used set? You can often find a set in mint condition for a fraction of the cost.

    I had -4 of camber on the rear of my S2K and when I sold the wheels/tires, they have perfect tread-with through out. This was after 10k miles or so.

    if you had even tread wear then you DID NOT have -4 camber on your s2k.

    The key is to turn harder and faster.

    If someone isn't intelligent enough to get a design patent on their wheel then what does it matter? You know all wheel manufacturers have plenty of lawyers...all they need is a power of attorney signature and a couple hundred to file and they have a permanent patent on the look of any wheel they produce. Automotive manufacturers do it on nearly all their OEM wheels.
