Spaz The Great Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 A few things, Wu-Zi. They look absolutely retarded. People driving in them, look even more retarded. They f*** with your gas mileage. Why must these idiots LOWER trucks and RAISE cars? Always have to be backwards, don't they? I'd laugh so hard to see one of these things roll. That would make my day.

Righty Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I wish I could find the video. There was a video of someone with 30'' (I think) polyurethane wheels. He tried to drag race it and snapped the axle shaft. The wheel and axle shaft went rolling down the track. Moral of the story, if you are going to run 30'' tires and like 40'' wheels, get heavier axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 OMG those cars looks absolutely horrific. I guess this is one of those 'only in America' things huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Yep. Only in America (more specifically, Houston), there exists cars that look like shit. Now, I can accept big rims on cars. Just not when it's like THAT. Those cars look ridiculous, and I mean that in the worst possible way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 They look like a cheap kid's toy car. As for gas mileage, as long as the car has plenty of power, larger wheels will increase the MPG. The problem is that the car's suspension is usually locked in place & the ride is like a low-rider. Once again, the streets are blocked w/ crapwagons that can only go 20-25 MPH (30-40 KPH). They're showing up in the Midwest, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The larger wheels and tires would have the effect of higher gear ratios. But it would be a lot of rotating mass. I considered going with taller tires on my Taurus. One of the reasons was a tad better gas mileage, the other was I wouldn't be putting so many miles on the odometer. Edit: I believe it's called Donk or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanoutlaw Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 That Olds in the first post looked nice except for the wheels. Put a nice set of 17s on & I'd drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
