The next BIG wheel trend?

This guy goes to the car wash in front of my business regularly. I happened to have my camera today and I had to take pictures of this. I think he actually had to RAISE the car to get these wheels to fit. The funny thing was that he just "slapped" the only rag he was using on the paint for a few seconds to dry the car. He then spent at least 5 minutes per wheel cleaning the wheels. To each his own I guess....

It's a BIG trend here in Jacksonville. There is a car that sits so high I look up at the doors. Funny watching them dangle their feet trying to get out of a POS car that costs less than 1 rim.

What was that saying: "You know you're ghetto when the rims on your car cost more than the car itself."

This isn't really the next trend. Its been around for a while. I went to Ft. Lauderdale a couple years ago and you couldn't find an impala without these ridiculous wheels(the older impalas). These and jeeps with foolish sized wheels. I also noticed a lot of people tryin to be ballers for a day with rental ferraris and hummers. Cant miss the plates.

That is so FN gay! I saw a green Caprice in Florida a few years back that was jacked up with wheels like that. Now I like all kinds of cars and chrome rims look good on the right kind of car, but that is just so stupid!

Well it is a southern thing. If you in the southern states that have large minority cities like ga, fl, texas etc you will see it on a regular basis.

Being a minority I think it is stupid, and use they have to actually put lifts on the cars to get those 24's and + sizes to get fit. However it is funny seeing these idiots try to make turns and park anywhere.
