Why do idiots put flashy rims on hoopties?

[Saint Frankenstein]

And also raise them. I see this crap a lot in my neighborhood. They roll by thinking they're so cool, with their crappy sound system blaring muddy bass that makes their jalopy sound like it's rattling apart. Why?! I don't get it! It's like spraying air freshener after taking a horrible, massive dump - it's not really going to make it any better!

This is what I mean:

Are these people legit delusional or something? Do they think they're rollin' in a tricked out '64 Impala? If so, surely there's a pill to fix this!

It's called "cyanide".

I find those rims entertaining.

I'm get'n me some aluminum rims for me trailer....

These aren't the most attractive, but when you need
1/2+ offset & 125 psi rating, the selection is limited.
Still, they'll be style'n far more than me rusty white
steel rims I be sport'n now.

It's a cultural sign of affluence among poorer inter-city neighborhoods. Much like tricked out rice burners are the same thing in lower middle class suburban neighborhoods. They're both useless and annoying.

I know that. This thread is mostly for laughs.

Well, if that's the case. You know what I don't get? This:

That's just the white trash version.

I don't get this fad either... Some people man. Couldn't even pull out of a driveway in this thing.

Same reason people have annoyingly big and useless front yards.

That is the one I don't get. You can't go anywhere with the vehicle that low, it totally defeats the purpose of having a truck, and maybe it's just the country part of me talking, but it's worse than one of those tiny trucks that aren't good for hauling things in.
When I worked at Rallys, some dummy with some lift system on his car was showing it off, and ran whatever it was out and he couldn't get his car up to where it's supposed to be to drive.

Here's a pick-up truck I'd be willing to drive....

I think some in the OP look way cooler than some of the normal cars, and definitely way better than the fad around here:

Might want to throw that behind a spoiler so you don't get zapped by the staff.

She sure is built to bear children. Lol.

Since we're all going liberal n **** in society, might as well do whatever we want. I would like 5 wives, with 5 kids each wife, of 5 different ethnicities. Then I can have a small tribe and one of my descendants will get a 'revelation' and conquer the world through 'trade' and 'peace' because the revelation was from God.

 

[Glaurung]

This must be a cultural thing, I really don't see the appeal. But again I'm not American.

 

[Smart_Guy]

I don't like it. I like the tyre profile and the rim size to be balanced. I like wide types, but balanced too.

I thought this funny if you listen to Kat Williams. Vulgar language alert.
