Bling, Bling...the boyz like the wheels BIG!

[werewolfx13]

Most of the rims were hideous, the music wasn't that bad..I've heard worse..far worse..anything played on a country station for example. 

If they made their money legally and legitimately, they can do whatever they want to to those cars

I don't agree werewolf   I can't see messing up beautiful CLASSICS like they did.  I grew up with those classics.  I have fond memories riding in them as a kid - heck, my first car was a 1968 Buick Skylark with a big block.  The Classics are getting fewer and fewer. 

Sorry, just my opinion.  It's a dang shame!!

It's like adding bling to the Mona Lisa.

I grew up in a family that had several of the old classics..we still have the '63 buick riviera thats been in the family since I was 4, and only sold the '65 impala about 7 years ago.. Personally, I loathe the "classic" style wheels and rally wheels and such, so I'd encourage people to swap up to 17s in a newer style, but going as big as they go is rediculous..but its THEIR car, THEY paid for it, THEY can do what they want to it.

Really? are you serious? The original factory rally wheels is a huge identifiable part of the classic/muscle car era. I do like a lot of the aftermarket wheels (standard size) but there is nothing more correct looking than stk rally's. No offense to your comment, by the way.

Being a hardcore chevelle guy, I am totally against hacking up the early classic/ muscle cars with wheels that oversized but the later model 4dr full size caprices, impalas, etc they can have.
They probably look at us with our trucks as nonsense.
At the end of the day it is someones hobby or vision that they created (or paid someone to do).
I hate the freaking imports but except them as the younger generations 'hot rods'.
I posted that clip on my chevelle site I'm part of and they cant understand why everyone doesn't have chevelle!  I remain impartial, I appreciate the love, sweat and money that people put into anything creative they do even if I can't relate to it personally.

I guess once you go BIG you don't go back........................YUK.....

[TNTrucks]

Are you guys gonna call the quality membership board on me, for having 22's on the back of my truck?

[jonkmbll89]

Totally gross i rather ide on 36 inch tall mud terrain tires then on them pimp my ride 30s on a caprice.I rathr get a lil mud on the tires(brad paisley) then listen to that rap crap.Thats beyond the defination of BLING BLING there.

thanks
pat

You got it!

TNTrucks, your truck is tastefully displaying a proper rake due to difference in wheel size...not a DONK (people, there is even a magazine dedicated to the butchering of classics for the sake of huge rims, and that is the given name for the rides in that video-DONKS). I have a cousin who owns a motorsports shop and he says those guys are paying up to 4 grand on top of the price of the wheels to have the suspension modified to clear those rims!

It may be their car, but it still doesn't change my opinion 

[Captkaos]

Actually they are Hi-risers (it origins are from the south) Donk is the term people have labelled them with as the earlier versions were the most popular. 
1971 through 1976 Chevrolet Caprice/Impala are Donks (short for Donkey as in the Impala on the back and sloping rear trunk) 
1977 through 1992 Chevrolet Caprice are Boxs (trunks are no longer sloping)
1993-1996 Chevrolet Impala are Bubbles (as in they are rounded)

Although I wouldn't go out and buy one (got to many vehicles as it is), I admire the mods required.  Some I think look good, some I don't.  Some people don't understand why I lower my trucks, why people want to lift a 4x2 truck, or a 4x4 truck, it all comes down to personal taste, be it Donks, Lifted 4x4's, ground scraping minis etc.

My budy has 17s on his 57 Fairlane 500. They look good because they are perportioned well to the car. Any bigger is just stupid no matter who pays for them!
