Nice trucks&impala but WTF with the 20+ inch wheel fetish??

BaggedC10 · 02-18-2004, 03:19 PM

Anything less is worthless.

Unless, it's being built in an "old-skool" manner.

**swervin ervin** · 02-18-2004, 03:52 PM

Nice vehicles, but way, way, too much wheel. All the Impala needs is hydraulics. Spinners. YUCK

I can't handle rubber bands for tires. Someday, this fetish for 20+ inch wheels will die out and everyone will get back to a sensible size wheel, maybe.

bigblock73 · 02-18-2004, 03:59 PM

Nice vehicles, wish I could say the same for the wheels.

I agree with ya Mike, the big wheels are getting a bit old..and the bigger they get, the more I dislike them.

But, that is just my opinion.

I'm not much of a wheel expert, but I definitely agree with your comments about the lack of rubber.

What exactly is a "Spinner". It looks like the wheel has 2 pieces. Is this what your talking about? Does the outer piece spin freely? In any event, I don't like 'em - but that's just my opinion.

I have to agree with the others........those are beautiful rides but the choice of wheels just kill the look. Especially on the trucks.

the blue one looked so much better without those stupid bolt on spinners. follow the link to page four, even he admits it!

BaggedC10 · 02-18-2004, 04:55 PM

To each his own.

I agree, that the Impala would look much better w/ a different style wheel. Saying 20's are too big is crazy though!

Zilverado---Basically. They look sweet in action.

cochino12 · 02-18-2004, 04:57 PM

that Impala kicks A$$!!! Looks like it's lifted with those wheels though

The Impala needs 13" gold-spoked wheels, and hydros...

low 84 · 02-18-2004, 07:52 PM

all 3 of them would look awsome with a clean set of 17's on them. with the wheels they have on them they are almost laughable, ruins the whole thing. a set of 20's can look decent if a good style is picked, but all of those look like they belong on a rappers escalade, not classic iron

odie82 · 02-18-2004, 08:18 PM

I like the truck.another pic with different rims

**crossy** · 02-18-2004, 09:19 PM

yeah, that Impala, with 20's, is looking like it's headed to the upholstery shop for some crushed velvet next. Not my thing. I've seen one recently with 17" americans like Swervins truck and it had alot more rubber showing and I liked it .DAVE

A rubber band has more side wall area than thoes tires do.

And 20's will go out of style when the 30's get here

Never seen a car of that vintage in yellow, but it doesn't look bad...

TwinTurbo · 02-18-2004, 11:22 PM

all those wheels just look silly, must be handy to be able to get under a car with a creeper and not having to use a jack...geez how ugly

BaggedC10 · 02-18-2004, 11:28 PM

For the record, all those vehicles have 22's.

Don't be hatin' on rubber bands.....
