LOL I'd still drive it around for the pimp factor, he could have at least gotten some 275/40 tires on there instead of stretching the 185\15's on a 9 inch rim....

Where i'm from black guys do that more often. Just thought i'd point it out. There is a black ls1 6spd. on 22's in lancaster, ghetto as hell w/ wires hanging out of the dash and neon lights velcro'd to the roof. There is another blue SS 6spd. on 22's as well in palmdale. And there is more than a few iroc camaros on 20's in both gold and chrome. I also seen 2 more on spinners (one later 4th gen. and one earlier 4th gen.) and out of all those only one owned by a mexican. so don't be so judgemental. "Ghetto" would have been sufficient.

Can you really fit 22's on a f-body? I thought 20's was the biggest. I think a car could have the big rims but still look nice no wire rims. Especially a show car. Not a race car but oh well if you have the money and you own the car, thats your decision what you want to do with it.
