Some umm....interesting pictures from last weekends car show.

Interesting pictures of a few cars from the Good Guys car show last weekend.
The white camaro has 24's I believe. The last car is pretty nice.
Let the flaming begin....

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything.
I'll just shut up now.

I don't think the white camaro is on bags, but the Dodge Challenger is. That Challenger is pretty cool! I can't believe that people are still putting 24's and other such wheels on their cars still and doing the DONK look or whatever the hell it's called.
I hope this fad fades away soon, although it does provide us with some comic relief about people's incredibly bad taste.

Re: Some umm....interesting pictures from last weekends car show.

24's on that camaro look ridiculous and those tires were soooo skinny. It makes it look like a hot wheels car. Peoples bad taste never ceases to amaze me. I can't wait till the pants falling off your a$$ fad dies. I guess on the bright side it makes it easy for the cops to catch them when they run and try to keep their pants from falling down at the same time.

Re: Some umm....interesting pictures from last weekends car show.

are you serious???? honestly these cars don't look good with rims above 18, some have been able to pull off 19's but i still have not seen a car with above 19's look good. 24/26 are for trucks or regals, not irocs. hideous

Re: Some umm....interesting pictures from last weekends car show.

It's funny I was just paging through my Goodguys magazine and saw that exact same Iroc and thought to myself, wow that things looks ridiculous I should post something about it. Those rims are way too big and the tires look like rubber bands. If it didn't have such huge rims that car would be really nice.
