    Ahhh!!! Nice mags!

    I note with interest that they have a lot of positive offset - excellent.

    Let me get technical here - if you go for mags with a lot of negative offset then the center-line of the the wheel/tire rotation moves outside away from the vehicle's chassis.

    Positive offset moves the tires inwards - towards the vehicle (papasok ang gulong).

    Negative offset moves the tires outwards - away from the vehicle (palabas ang gulong).

    This has several effects - not all of them good.

    1) the vehicle as a whole gets a lower center-of-gravity, that's good, it makes the car as a whole more dynamically stable in driving and especially in cornering.

    2) the moment arm (or lever arm) of the wheel/tire assembly moves outwards - getting longer, that's BAD because,

    a) it makes the steering heavier and sensitive to every bump that comes along, and

    b) it increases the effective forces exerted on the steering, suspension and vehicle as a whole - that means increased wear on those parts and a twitchy ride.

    c) it magnifies the effect of any steering misalignment as well as uneven braking.

    Overall, I prefer to have positive offset rather than negative offset. You can always get a lower center of gravity with wider wheels and lower tires.
