what is their fascination with this ??? ???

Completely destroys the functionality of the car.
Ummm...sort of like being a bloated bodybuilder, plus synthol...no functionality.

haha good analogy A+
I guess it's status for them

Cheap wheels that eff up the look and function of the car, and increase stopping distances.
Donks, Bubbles---now regular cars. It looks stupid.
But effing up cars is not exclusive to black folks
White Dudes: Jack their trucks up, huge ass lift kits, in the south will have a gun rack.
Also many will put lift kits on cars and trucks that have 4 or 6 cylinders and not the power that you think.
Also will do the fast and furious look and will rebadge a car to be a higher model
Latinos: Fast and Furious oversized kits on everything, will leave the wheels stock. Will put chrome portholes everywhere, paint the car in orange, green, or some bright ass color. Also have a love for Honda Civics, and put cheap scoops on the hood. Also, put jewelled rear lights on anything.
Asian dudes: Fast and Furious/ Transformer look. Wings and front end look like they came right out of Robotech or Gundam Wing.

the japs mod their cars for function(mostly). for street, track and drift. I can appreciate that.

There is a POINT to lifting a truck, increased ground clearance. While it is quite true that there are many dumbfucks that do it wrong, or just for appearance....the origins of it are functional....and there are a, lot if those trucks that see rough terrain There is no point in putting ridiculously large rims on cars, it accomplishes nothing but to look really ugly and stupid.

Correct, but many do it for the "look", you know like wearing "Tapout" shirts---poseurs.
the japs mod their cars for function(mostly). for street, track and drift. I can appreciate that.
Sorry, many of those transformer looking kits serve very little function---remember form follows function.
And like one head Audi Engineer once alluded to that race cars tend to be pretty, because those shapes work.
Most of those transformer looking kits never made it to a wind tunnel.
Now, time attack cars, purpose built race cars, their kits have purpose.
The shit you see in magazines, is just for looks.
-
Probably the same reason that guy's wearning matching luminous orange hat and pants?
-
I bet that gathering made for quite a hostile environment.
-
what is their fascination with this
Fascination? IMO, it's more of a "monkey see, monkey do" type of thing... and to get attention.
Why do white youths (mostly men) wear those ear lobe stretching thingies? They think it's cool now, but one day they're gonna regret it. Same goes for facial tattoos.

Right...I just said that
I also said there is NO point in putting gigantic rims on a street car, which you pretend you didn't see.

LOL.. Dude... these dudes do absolutley zero off roading and lift their trucks but stand at about 5'7 tops...
Functionality is gone.
-
They do??
hahaha maybe not :D
-
I always laugh when I see a negro with those spinning rims. Do they actually think it looks cool? Most of the time it makes the cars look like shit. The worse are the negroes that do it to Ferraris or lambos. because you know the guy has better taste in car style than a Ferrari designer ::)
-
Right...I just said that

Go back and read my first post. I swear some of you need to go back to first grade. I said that there is no reason to put those big ass rims on the car. Effs the car up, increases braking distances, substantially increases unsprung weight. Slows the car down, and can cause the car to flip at speed.
I can't stand it---and I wonder where these rims are made, because they are making a killing off of ignorance.
It's really stupid to do it to a performance or sports car.

another one that cant read...I already said there are plenty of idiots who will never leave the pavement. But there is a reason for it. The big stupid rim thing is just another aspect of the hip hop culture,.....look at what a baller I am, I put these really , dumb looking wheels on my car

Maybe they need to hide under their car quickly when the police come?

That ish apparently came from the Texas area or other areas of the south. I don't follow the Donk scene, nor do I care for it---
the big rims, I can kinda see on a SUV, even the Lambo SUV that was just shown as a concept has 24s.
And in a sense, it has helped car design in some way. As many times the wheel well looks better with a bigger tire and wheel combo, to an extent. The problem with Americans, we tend to view bigger is better, when it isn't. Apparently on the racetrack (production car based) 18s are the optimum size.
And on the street for cars, 19s should be the max, but 20s are really pushing it. But it depends on the car---big body cars like S classes can look good with 19s or 20s, without the car looking raised up.
But, think of it like bbing, big legs (wheels) are stupid and serve no function, but many like the freak factor, even the bber has to waddle everywhere.

On both ends, Lifting your Tundra 4 feet and never leaving pavement , as well as putting those retarded rims on cars that make your Caprice look like a giant skate, both serve no purpose. Both are for a LOOK... and thats it. If you want a reason for Huge rims, the driver can say, "they look cool" and though they might not look cool to you or I, there is obviously a market for them. Just as my roomate tells me (He works at MHT, the company that distributes all kinds of rims) 95% of the customers that purchase their "Off Road" brand never go off road....ever... its for a LOOK

Preaching to white getbiggers about ethnic cultural preferences is like preaching to "1" about his old man tapping his ass without a rain coat. They all have blinders on.

If there both for "the look"...just what the fuck are we talking about..."yeah well yeah.. they are both for the look but one is MORE functional than the other"...
ok bro.. Gotcha

I remember back in the 80s, they used to put lift kits on those small Toyota trucks (the ones that would rust out), and Mazda trucks, and the Chevy S10s and Ford Rangers-----many of these trucks barely had enough hp to get out of their own way...it was purely for the look.
You go down south, you can still find those very same trucks.
Or removal of the stock rear bumper and putting chrome bumpers on the truck---and it's seeing the same small truck with lift kits and a tow hook.
I have a neighbor with a Mercury Marquis and those big ass rims, I just smh and keep it moving.

Come to California... Orange County to be exact...
All you see is Stocky white dudes with Dicky shorts, FAMOUS T-Shirts, black socks Shin high, DC shoes and Cap with the Bill fliped up, Shades with a beard and no mustache jumping into a Super Clean Tundra or F-250 with Offroad Rims and lifted about 6' in the air where it looks like you need a god damn Trampoline to get in the damn thing. Oh yeah.. They Drink hella Monster Drinks

Haha, i was in the store the other day. And these dudes were looking car mags, they were talking about getting a jeep and putting huge tires on it (like huge rims, except this time it's tires), just for the look---having the tires sitting outside the wheel wells.

Go to craigslist, type in "pre-runner"
Those stupid looking trucks just might be a fucking beast off-road.
Which is my whole point...while the idiot with the monster drink and the Ed Hardy shirt might be a poseur who has never left the tarmac...he could if he wanted to, and there is an entire culture of guys that do. There is a purpose to lifting your truck and doing suspension mods.of course you will have idiots who half ass it, and their truck is a POS.
There is no function to having 32 inch rims on a Camaro, you can't even drive up a steep driveway without denting the fucking things.
Is it SO hard for a black guy to say "yeah, it's a black thing, and it's stupid" without dragging other races into it ?

Relax son.. all were saying is.. that just as blacks turn their Box Chevs into Giant skates, and put "skittles" logos and shit on their car like idiots, its just as retarded as The "OC" guys lifting their trucks 6'ft just go go to Jack n the Box. One is just as dumb as the other. And just because you start a thread to point out the dumb shit that blacks do (which is a lot... dont get me wrong) , other posters can point out a similar dumb ass car mod that our white brothers do as well. No harm son.. relaz

I'm perfectly calm, my point is you don't know what the "OC" guys do with their trucks, they could be off-roaders, or poseurs. Point is lifting your truck is, in theory, done to increase ground clearance. There is a reason for it. There is no point to putting stupidly giant rims on a street car other than "look at me".
There is really no arguing that. But yet you are.
-
I really dislike those "In memory of" stickers that people put in their backwindows. Do I really need to know that a family member died? And should I feel sympathy for you when you cut me off? While you are on your cellphone?
I understand people want to remember or honor a loved one, but I believe thar is a private matter, there is no need to plaster it on your car for the world to see.

Im not arguing it.. they are both Retarded. Your argument is one is more retarded than the other. I get what youre saying, the OC white dude "could be off roading " (in the vast majority they arent) so it makes it more plausable to lift their trucks, but being around the culture.. its just ar retarded as Donks or spinning rims Tvs and fistanks in cars

And let's add spending thousands cramming speakers into cars, just to go to shows.
Or Lambo doors on everything from Honda Accords, Chargers, Lexus, to VW Beetles.
The automotive industry is filled with tasteless fads, addendas, that cater to some part of the industry.

It's so mindless and pointless why brothas and sistas do some of the shit they do, it baffles me. I'm thankful for the parents I have and the way in which my DNA was organized.

Remember that next time you see a neon orange 96 Hond Civic with portholes, and parkbench painted in black for a spoiler, and chrome hubcaps from Pepboys, and some name in Spanish on the top of the windshield.

What's even more insane is that everytime the strech gets one size larger they post it on facebook....like an acomplishment and every "friend" is like yo'dude thats awesome ! congrats !
Fuck that noise I'm surprised lee Preast hasnt taken that road yet.....

Cheap wheels that eff up the look and function of the car, and increase stopping distances.
Donks, Bubbles---now regular cars. It looks stupid.
But effing up cars is not exclusive to black folks
White Dudes: Jack their trucks up, huge ass lift kits, in the south will have a gun rack.
Also many will put lift kits on cars and trucks that have 4 or 6 cylinders and not the power that you think.
Also will do the fast and furious look and will rebadge a car to be a higher model
Latinos: Fast and Furious oversized kits on everything, will leave the wheels stock. Will put chrome portholes everywhere, paint the car in orange, green, or some bright ass color. Also have a love for Honda Civics, and put cheap scoops on the hood. Also, put jewelled rear lights on anything.
Asian dudes: Fast and Furious/ Transformer look. Wings and front end look like they came right out of Robotech or Gundam Wing.
Mostly Latinos from Central America dig those colors that's exactly what I dont like on a pimped ride'and Im a Latino lad.

Status symbols, to show of to local bitches and hoes and inform the rivals of how badass the owner is by managing to outrun the popo in something that ridiculous.

Why would one be offroading if there are roads available? Sounds like Redneck-idiocy at it's best.
Anticipated reply: "Because it's fun" -> Answer: "Yes, I'm sure getting shaken about hard and losing those last few brain cells is orgasm material for a Redneck".
Buy or rent a nice car to drive fast on a real circuit or go karting, that's fun driving.

Until one hits a pothole and bends a rim...
You don't see too many of these in Baltimore---which is known for it's potholes and bad roads...
You will some ballas with big rimmed cars though, but nothing this extreme.

Those things look like hotwheels cars with hose big ass tires/rims.

i live in southern cali and u definitely right about the blacks and latinos. blacks always putting cheap, chrome, oversized rims on their colorful ass cadillac coupe devilles and other used american cars. not to mention how they always buying used "luxury" cars for the sake of bragging to everyone how they drive a nice benz, since they cant afford a new one lol! and dont get me started bout my own people(Latinos). you knw its a latino with a piece of shit import with a beat up bodykit, stock rims, and stickers all over the ride lol or big chrome rims on a truck. it annoys the shit outa me.....but i gotta say when it comes to rides i do dig the asian styles(and women ;D)
-
same with some bikes.
ok, putting some nice 18-19 inch wheels on a car that comes with shitty looking 16 inchers stock, yeah, but this 25inch wheels stuff looks gross.
either way, anyone defining himself over his car is a homo in the first place.
and most likely either super rich or broke as fuck
