Are the stickers there so you don't notice the big, ugly, yellow wheels? You can find out for only $8,000.

You know, I usually try to keep my mouth shut about what others build, just because what they like isn't necesarily what I like and so on. BUT in this case I have to say something,

after I puke,

butt ugly!

I know this is a family board so I'll keep it at that.

You'd think with all the money he spent on those 24s, he'd be sporting a better paint job than that...or maybe that's why it's still in primer.

Critter · 01-12-2008, 05:19 PM

I've seen toys in the check-out line at Walmart that looked better than that.

Somebody step up, be a man, buy that beast and make it right!

**Yukon Jack** · 01-13-2008, 04:26 AM

I might add, I had no idea you could get 8 lug rims like that, I honestly didn't think there was a market for that type/size of rim in an 8 lug pattern.

You can thank a small population of H2 owners for creating that market.

Jtrux · 01-13-2008, 05:46 AM

Anything can be powdercoated and/or painted to look like that.

I never thought I would say this but I like that green one better!

epsorenson · 01-13-2008, 10:59 AM

(i'm neither of those things however)

Looks like crap......who is building these ugly machines?????

johnnywagon · 01-17-2008, 02:28 PM

Black & Yellow....that christian hair-metal band STRYPER should buy it.

.....not!

70rs/ss · 01-18-2008, 01:20 AM

I think it would be less gaudy if the blazer were yellow. I am not huge fan of yellow, but the vette canary yellow is cool, not understated but cool. I see full sized fords, chevies, dodges with big 22 and 24 in wheels, 8-lug is really the safest way to run a wheel that big, cause they are heavy! Not really my style but shows that even kids have an appreciation for our passion, even if it is a little misguided! If he had done this to a 8-2000's truck no one would even give it a second look.
