This reminds me of the 70's movie "TRON" for some reason...

Words (that I can't type on the boards) can't describe what I think of those things.

That is the style in my neck of the woods for a certain group. They buy these '70s Buicks and Chevys(thankfully not Fords), put these beautiful candy, pearl, and metalflake paint jobs on them, jack them up so high you could walk under them and then hang these fugly tractor rims on them.
That may be slightly better than in the '90s when this same group had rims that sat about a foot and a half outside the fenders of thir crappy little riceburner.
Makes the world go round, I guess.

wow i thought they looked ugly on cars now there putting the on atv what a stupid bunch. atv get dirty on purpose why put a high dollar rim and tire when your going to spend more time cleaning the wheels then the whole thing. i know plenty of people who have those same rims and tires and i see them on the side of the road putting a dough nut on because they blew a tire on a pot hole that i normally travail over at 40mph.
