Or rather shocked.:impatient

I hope I don't see these in my neighborhood too soon.


OK, DUB Mogul 30" wheels on a 74' Impala. Not sure how much those weigh. Wonder what needs to be done to the brakes.



Jesse James wheels on 60's chevy.
Not sure how this would work with the standard sized US garage.
My suburb doesn't even have garages big enough for some SUVs or Minivans.

 

Good lord.

 

Most of the time when I see the huge wheels on those type of cars I just run the other way... But when you go and totally overdue it they look interesting just from a novelty standpoint...

 

Blimey wants 30's.

That may be my look for MOTD6.

Maybe I can get COOPeration to mock up one for me to see how it will look...

And think of the BRAKES you could have with 30s. I'd have six of you Dragon tailgators stuck under my car when I go from 70 to 0 in like 4 feet on a corner. That would be awesome.

And nobody would make jokes about my "cute little car" anymore.

And the size of the freakin Union Jacks you could get painted on a 30" wheel...

MMMMMMMM......

 

At least it is good for the economy, the trend people keep spending.

Looks like h*ll, but it is their money.

 

I've seen a couple of these 'creations' on the roads lately. I get a big kick out of it. Donks (and boxes and bubbles) are really cartoon cars come to life. Impractical as hell and not the safest thing on the road, but they do turn heads (and, sometimes, stomachs ).

Whatever floats your boat, I say. Some people think what we do with MINIs is crazy. And, as many have seen here, some people with MINIs think what some other people do with MINIs are crazy. That's when mods are called in and the and comes out.

 

Oh I will no doubt do time in hell for this one...

 

At least it would be easy to change the oil.

 

Wonder what tires cost in that sort of size.

 

More than likely nothing has been done to the brakes.

 

The "I have way more drug money than sense" conspicuous consumption statement.

Must be great for the tire company to have those sledghammer pizza disks snakebitting the sidewalls on every pothole (no, not filled with weed) in town.

Reminds me of a kiddy toy.

Paint the cars Cat yellow and they would blend right in at a road paving jobsite.

They eliminate the brakes to save weight and use a hydrauliclly operated anchor to stop.

They're hybrids, an electric motor is in each wheel. The bigger the motors, the faster it will go.

I'll have to come up with some good ones.

 

I see them all the time. Actually passed a vette on I-40 last weekend with something that looked like 4WD tires. I love the ones that are on a rusted out pos car.

Apparently some people in town have come up with this deal where you can rent-to-own your wheels if you can't afford to buy them outright..gotta love it.

Don't fret, minihune, I don't think they make ships big enough to get those to the island.

 

U Rok.

 

Bwaaah, hah hah hah hah! Good one!

 

It would take quite a bit of fender rolling to drop that car right.

 

I was thinking more fender removal.

 

Not that I would ever do that to my car......BUT.....A jacked up car makes as much sense as a slammed and lowered car....even more sense I dare say because then you arent ripping apart the stupid looking body kit on every low spot in the road.....at least those jacked rides will still look the same way after 6 months, while the ricers are all driving around with banged up front bumpers

 

Oh man, that thing has Cali plated on it, too. I feel so ashamed.

 

Ashamed?! I figured you'd be licensing the concept for *****-izon products!

 

Hmm, we are going to need new springs....

 

I love cars in general, and love the fact that the enthusiast are doing all kinds of things to their vehicles. No that I will do htat to any car but those are certainlly fun looking. I am sure those DUBS will bring smiles on little kids faces just as much as the MINIS.. Have fun!! cooperation I love the little cartoon you did!!!

 

Wondered what a classic would look like with the treatment.


For comparison.

 

No kidding. Around here, the normal progression is to install a body kit, get the seams halfway filled with bondo, and then proceed to tear up said bodykit on potholes, parking lot bumps, and curbs before you've even had a chance to get it painted.

I swear that for every painted, properly-installed body kit I see, I see at least four others that are primer grey and in tatters.

 

I kinda like it. It's not for me tho. But it's creative. I think Big Daddy Roth would be pleased.

I really like COOPERations concept, sweet.

Can you do one in EB with R84s?
