Foo - Big Wheel Fools

This mess is relatively new to my town but it's apparently growing fast.

I'll give a pass to anyone under the age of 21, but seriously??

You'd disappear.

See this a lot around Clayton/Raleigh?

Quite common here in central Florida. Usually mid 80's to mid 90's rides with big wheels and matching paint schemes on the rims. 99% are driven by blacks in their mid 20's to 30's. Has to be some chameleon paint scheme or something just as gaudy. Some dashboards carry over the theme throughout the interior as well. I guess they have nothing better to spend money on that they will never get back. The biggest thing they HAVE to have though is the wheel size in big numbers along the side somewhere. You will see something like 24" cause you know bigger is better.

the bad side: when they hit your car, their bumper is going to end up in your face
the good side: no way they can go fast enough without flipping over.

:lol: i've got your Airwick Estate pass right here. :innocent: so i'm not too worried. :)

Your description of the cars is exactly what I've seen in Greenville - Makes absolutely no sense.

Surely because of safety, communities should be able to get this crap off our streets?

doesn't really stop people from driving mega sized SUVs that have bumpers that would plow into your wind shield.

People in Fl LOVE their big wheels :love:
Rednecks to Gangsters....Big Wheels rule...

In Riviera those ballermobiles are everywhere !
Here, they go for super hero or cereal box motif.
Hulk, Spiderman, Superman, Trix Rabbit :lol:

Those scandalous ruffians and their confounded modifications.

Unless those SUV's have been modified, it's not the same thing. Modifying cars like described above is my issue.

It's illegal in most states to drive a vehicle with a modified suspension on the highway.

I draw the line at 18's. :lol:

I used to get laid a lot with this baby...

I still get laid down to nap a lot with this baby...

lullabyed it for you.

I thought this was going to be about riding Big Wheels down Mt. Soledad in La Jolla (San Diego).

:p That's marvelous - Now that I could live with,.....

Ok, so before you try to label me Fuddley Duddley, take a look at this:

rent to roll (http://www.rentnrollstl.com/)

These clowns are paying ridiculous prices to roll around town in cars that belong in the circus.

My Greenville now has a rent to roll :(

what's wrong with big wheels? I'll even take mine out in the snow.

Just like 'em to park where they shouldn't.

Those are fairly common around here. Of course, I'm one of the few rolling on 13s, which I predict will be the next big thing.

So how big is the emergency spare tire? Will it get you home-y, or leave you stranded?

It's a concept apparently started in the Soviet Union by modifying a Trabant. ;)

Of course, being a good socialist car owner, they opted for the plain steel wheels and tractor tires. ;)

Airwick rolls down window and yells,

"Get off the road, punk!" :)

I'm with you, Lamplight. We ride the Bike Fridays of cars and wheels.

Imagine the extra weight,.... the 4 wheels plus spare on a car that averaged 12 miles to gallon to begin with,....

"Look at me, I'm a bananabrain."

Actually, I did own a Trabant when I was stationed in Germany. I bought it for a carton of American Marlboro's ;) IT was slow, and left a cloud of blue smoke where ever I went (2 cycle engine), but would always start, even in the worst German winter weather.

they are fairly common back in alabama to, but I thought the cereal boxes and trix rabbit were truly limited to there, just due to the lack of sense of they made.

pgoat, do me a favor? Walk up to this person and tell them Airwick would like to know why he drives such a clown car? :)

I'm wondering if Philly passed some type of law? Unfortunately, I dont think it's just a fad.

At least you don't see those on ATVs over there. It is ridiculous.

I wanna pull up in one of these.

That's right biatchs. Roll up on these babies...

Don't be hatin, Fuzz. We're going to pick you up to cruise Route 66 in one of these,...

wheels way too small, UA. Get with it man or I'll pop a cap in your ass......

It's most certainly a fad. Time will eventually make fools of us all.

Look at how dated and out of place Escalades with spinners look, or 1964 Impalas with 13" Daytons.

There is one redeeming trait of this trend: we may see fewer lowriders high-centered on speedbumps.

What amazes me is that most if not all of these cars probably cost a fraction of what the wheels do.

...and Lurid help us all, if this catches on with the Amish youth.

sort of like my commuter bike vs. the lock needed for me to keep it:lol:

That's practical at least. if you get bushwhacked you can tip it over and use it to shoot from behind. If you're rollin' with yer crew and there's any action you can circle them together.

kinda curious how much are the tires
