If you need to install a lift kit and cut the wheel well openings bigger, then your wheels ARE TOO BIG!!! Get over it.

I'm all for customizing to make the car "yours". I don't mind th paint job. I actually like candy paint jobs and such. But really. Oversized wheels USED TO be really cool. Now they just get you laughed at.

Default yuck

We've discussed cars like this before and I have the same conclusion.

GET A TRUCK IF YOU WANT TO SIT UP THAT HIGH......

But seriously, to each......His/Her Own.
I see these things all over Little Rock and they are all dumb looking
to me. But Hey, if that's what they want.............
As long as they are not hurting anyone and feeding thier families then
so be it.

i think its funny when people put "m&ms" or "skittles" all over their car like they are sponsored. but on second thought, having the earnhardt kit is kind of the same thing. i guess it really does take all kinds

Low riders don't spend 5 digits on custom paint jobs so they can drive by people doing 100 mph. Same idea.

I'm not saying I would want to drive around in that orange Monte with the 26's. But I know that there's also people who wouldn't be caught dead in my Dale Jr edition either.

It's all personal preference.
`amen -> 4 $ure : )
"2 each their own" 4-Sure....as long as the owner is happy, that's all that really matter's.

It's a I want attention Monte 4-Sure...I get no RESPECT.....LOOK @ `ME....."He looks down on other `Rides & he rides `High : )~*

That really does make one laugh. To each their own I agree. Its kinda like the guy who's rear end is almost dragging the ground and every ripple in the pavement makes the car bounce in a unshock like mannner. Really makes me wander WTF were they thinking as I laugh at the idiots saying "YEA THATS COOL".

two things: it reminds me of the trans ams and such that they used to lift and put large truck tires on like tonka toys (or whatever those little battery powered toys were) when I was a kid. Not my cup of tea either, but to each his own.
second thing... I like the paint!

It looks terrible, I never understood the Buick style portholes either, I see them all over Cleveland. On Hondas, Mustangs, Blazers, it doesn't make any sense to me. Also if he wants to ride high ...get an SUV! if he wants atention, put a loud stereo in the SUV, duh.

Yikes...that's not an uncommon thing to see round here once you get closer to Saint Louis...I saw a bright bright pink monte from a mile of way on Saturday...surprisingly it didn't have crazy rims but it was still like woah! hello!
