I've never ever seen so many cars with over sized gigantic ******* rims until I got here. There's also a 5th gen camaro with 28" rims. I've even seen 30" rims. Personally, I get furious when I see this ****..

Never seen a 900 area code, only 4s and 7s. And don't worry it's not just Georgia, they do it out in NM. How long you been there? I miss it

Had to drop a guy from work off at a Volvo dealership to pick up his car. One of the managers and another employee came out and were looking at my car giving compliments, etc. Then the manager proceeds to say that I should put 24" rims on it....

I've been in Georgia for about a year now doing the whole military thing.. I've never in my life seen so many stupid looking cars with gigantic rims until I moved out here... It's pitiful and infuriating.

I'd tell him he can keep the stupid *** rims and I'll take the car. He probably added atleast 3-4k to the price tag for the rims.
