I thought at one time I would be crazy to put 18"s on my car because they could rub, but now I know I can put any size rim and tire I want on as long I have plenty of sawzall blades (look at the front fenders).

Thats nasty,

Usually, I will keep comments to myself, but this time, I have to say something....WHAT THE FUKC WAS HE THINKING WHEN HE BUILT THAT!
That picture is extremely disturbing. Who are these people that think ****t like this looks good? Are they the ones that appear on the Maury or Jerry Springer show? It's a sad state we are living in, when someone actually thinks that car looks good.

Anyway...I feel alot better getttng that off my chest, although I still cannot describe into words, how crappy that car looks.

Thanks.

The stupidity of some people continues to amaze me.

"headturner" - I liked that part. Maybe it's because it looks so damn rediculous...

I think it looking like the general lee aint so bad, its kind of original but only an idiot would put some rims like that on a general lee clone, and any sports car for that reason. Id be embarased to drive that.

that kid musta found the magic cupboard and put his match box toys in it.

looks horrible, utterly horrible.

plus its probably a stock LT1 rebuild, and anyone can put flows on anything these days. took the time to detail the interior, put a dvd player in the back where no one ever rides, but he left the engine bay all dirty...hmmm.

forget the 23's, just go ahead and put some snow skis on it or something.

probably the dumbest ugliest thing i have ever seen.

First of all if thats supposed to be a tribute The General Lee Charger they should have at least gone with a Mopar. i could understand the new charger. even an SRT-4 or a ram more than i can understand this, this is a slap in the face to GM. and a slap in the face to Mopar who has produced so many kick *** cars over the years.

Second. what the **** is up with those rims? i dont think the duke boys would put faggoty assed rims on their car. i dunno maybe they'd have invested there money in better things...like engine mods.

Third WHAT THE ****
----------
i saw a rusted old 89 caprice the other day with 24's on it near where i live in minneapolis. it had a stock muffler on it. stock everything. except the paint which was probably some ****ty macco job made to look like metal flake...well it was flaky alright...biggest waste of ****ing money ive ever seen, why do people put rims on their crappy crappy old cars instead of fixing up the ****ing car. i really hope their axels snap and their wheels fall off on the highway while a semi truck is following too close
