. Life has a learning curve and its up to the owner to do as he pleases. Dont let our love of the pro tour style or look make us as shallow as those who talk "rice", or old school or clones vs original. We and I in particular tell my boys not to judge others and appreciate the simple common thread we share. Making a ride "MINE" and loving it.. phil

Good point! I am inclined to say that I think those wheels make that car look rediculous, but there are those who would say the same about the wheels on my ride!

Actually the car you show is not the best example, it has tasteful paint and modifications, (minus wheels), it's not even a true "donk," because it's not lifted up into the stratosphere. I think we have all seen those and everyone here pretty much agrees they look stupid, especially combined with the ludicrous paint jobs they put on these things. One donk I saw was covered in dollar bills with clearcoat covering them. The owner said he had to fix it once because some yahoo tried to pry one out once at a show...

Different strokes for different folks, but I guess whatever turns your prop...

I saw a car Vette on a TV car show once with money shredded and stuffed into clear sections of the seats. The owner claimed each seat had 10K worth of 100's stuffed in it. Whats the point of that exactly?

And isn't destroying currency illegal?
^that might have just made me look like an idiot.

Yes it is illegal, not to mention just plain a waste, now these types just make me mad. Couldn't they have done something to help someone with that $10k? At the risk of venturing into off-limits territory here (beliefs and such), I say that's just morally wrong.

Speaking of cash, we were at a hip hop club this past weekend and two dudes were throwing cash into a fan blowing into the dance floor. Singles, fives, and tens, and I heard(but didn't see) a few twenties. They were trying to show each other up, and I'm guessing threw out a few hundred $ each. I thought it was some kind of promotion, because there it was a big game weekend FAMU-BCC(Caprices on 24s all OVER town), but I heard people talking it's the new thing to do at the club to show off how rich you are.

^ I just about threw up.

If you want an SUV, BUY AN SUV!

EDIT...
Maybe I am just being a jerk because I think the look is rediculous, but there must be some issue with headlight and bumper heights or something if the cops wanted to give folks a hard time. I know here in California they sure do pick on tons of imports that are too low etc.

Can't wait til this fad is over. It's just hard to find something positive to say about that style of car...sick of trying. I mean, gassers aren't my cup of tea either but at least there's some functionality to their set up. This Donk craze is just.....stupid.

fugly.

I'm thinking Donk is short for donkey IE jackas# or just plain a##. I really like Koolaid he's just plain cool in a stupid sort of way they need it

I don't know if this is regional thing or not, but in the Dallas area I have seen pickups with 24" or 26" wheels on them. Ask me how I know what size they are? They put a decal behind the front wheel well on the fender that shows what size they are.

24" or 26" whichever the case may be.

I have seen this several times.

[JJSmitches]

It's happening in California too.

Maybe we can start a new trend, two stickers...Wheel and brake diameter. Anybody got 18/13s?

[muthstryker]

But where do you keep the 22"+ spare?

gold roof rack of course

I got a call last week from Daunte Culpeppers handler about working on his donk 76 Impala convertible. Some convertible top issues. I have not heard back but will get pics if we see it.

Hey you got any 18" badges for my whip? I wanna roll deep on them dubs...

[Steve68]

His "Handler" hahahahahaha

[Damn True]

Not to worry lads. This will soon go the way of lowered mini-trucks.


I do get a kick out of the guys rolling around with big chrome 22" wheels on their car AND a "DUB" or "22" stick on chrome badge to announce the fact that they do, in fact, have 22" wheels on their car.
What is even more amusing however is the dimwits that roll around with the chrome "DUB" badge on a car that is running STOCK wheels.

I hate the trend , but in no way want to see it leave. It has easily made me over $10K this year on lifting cars. So simple to do and such a waste. It comes in a nice handling driving car, and leaves lifted and riding like a brick. But they are damn happy!! We got one in the shop now, 76 Impala vert, we are going to be lowering the control arm mounts and 4 linking the rear. Plans are for 30 inch wheels. Total cost to owner $7500~~, out my pocket bout $500

Damn, that's the snaz right there. It don't get no bigger pimpin then a 76 convertible.
