New shoes on the way.

So, like a fastidious girl fussing over what shoes to wear, the male himbo in me is taking over. Not on myself (thankfully), but on the projection of my narcissism: my VW caddy.

Quite unlike females, for cars, bigger, fatter and wider is actually better! So what happens when you want to fit wheels way bigger or wider than you actually can? There are lots of ways, but one of the simplests, and nicest in my opinion, is to flare the arches.

The idea is simple: A sort of arm with a roller at the end is attached to the hub of your vehicle. By tightening the arm, the roller pushes the inner lip of the wheel inwards, to the point where it is flush with the fender, and that gives you a little more clearance with you fat fat rims.

But as we know, the greed of humans is incessant, and naturally, there will be the the few who would wanna take things a bit further. So by increasing the pressure further, and continually heating the paint to keep it from cracking, a nice flare can be had with some hard work. Ok not some. A LOT of hardwork.

But anyways, here's the end result! My new babies should go in just fine now :D
