i agree i wouldnt either there gaudy, tho the oens with jsut the center spin is kina neat, for the sheer fact you can read the venter cap(well at least easier than on a regular tire)

you guys have no idea, here in the Bay Area, the idea of a cool car is now a mid 90s Buick Park Avenue or late 70s/early 80s Caprice or Impala, Lifted (yes, lifted) in order to fit the rancid 24s under it. They also have whistle tips, lots of beat with no dynamat (rattle rattle), and a fake Louis Vuitton interior. The Buick are called "Scrapaz" and the Chevys are known as Box Chevs.

Here is a Box Chev, sorry for the shitty camera phone pic, but I was driving

You mean the credit cards and banks should stop givin money to the idiots that would discrace an American icon like that. It is sort of like pissing on a Picasso.
