It looks like a circus wagon with those wheels. I wonder how long they'll stay on there in "the hood".

I'd say put it out of it's misery, but anyone that would put those wheels on it and that color will be killing it anyway.

My son says the same thing. He sometimes tells them where the circus is setting up in town.

Wheels got to go, I'm with you, color takes little to get used to, but it does look good!

After taking the picture, a young kid came outside and was standing with the car. Looked like your typical high school kid.

Those are some really BIG wheels

I wouldn't doubt those are bigger than 20". Go big or go home.



I'd gone home.

I like the color. Picture it lowered with a propper wheel/tire and you have a whole different car.

I'm thinking those "dubs" (that's what they're called right?) may wipe out the fenders when the suspention is fully compressed on a big dip or something. Not to mention other aspects of suspention geometry affected.
