Cool or stupid..

Ugly and pointless. The worst part is some people spend extra cash on this combo and think it's cool. Terrible and "unsafe" in my opinion. Pass quickly...

 
See a lot of that driving around Fontana during work..........fking clown show.

 
A little bit bigger of a tire is needed and or a not as wide of a wheel... Deep dish wheels look good, but it needs to have the right size tire to wheel combo - that's too wide of wheel for that small of a tire.

This is a little bit better proportionate in my opinion...not as wide of a wheel but the same look, just not as ghetto looking.

And to be clear................  I dont care one way or another.  I dont much care for Low Riders, or drift cars or slammed Hondas, but I still respect the time, effort and care put into them (especially the low riders, them dudes are psycho about attention to detail).  everyone has their own flavor, just some dont taste good to me. 

 
Form vs Function

I'm a function guy, a wide tire on a 4x4 truck is pointless off road if there is no sidewall to flex and balloon over terrain.

However - a slightly slammed mid size Chevy Colorado, Toyota X-Runner or GMC Canyon look REALLY nice with a slight drop and low profile wheels...for me seems to only apply to mid-sized trucks. I don't like when its a full size, even a 150 or 1500 series.

Car "Nuts" are all the same when you get down to it....they simply LOVE their choice of car. I can go to ANY type car show and have a goodtime talking to owners.

 
I think 20" rims look good, but they are really pointless on a 4x$ that actually sees the dirt. See a lot of jeeps on 20", typical mall crawler.

Agreed.  However I still like the look of a lowered dually, or a raised dually (within reason), but I REALLY dont like the look of the stinkbug dually, the way it comes off of the lot...... 

 
At least the trabaho has a job!!!

Probably hauls old 1 piece garage doors

That's pretty cool  and seems like a modern take on the mini truck craze of the 80s. 

There's a guy in the "hood"where I work who has a cool single cab Silverado that is slammed.  Kinda reminds me of a NASCAR Truck and I'm here for it . . .

 
I personally love clean slammed trucks, even had a slammed mini truck back in 1985.  Put my Motorcycle in the back and hit Indian Dunes and the Desert in it all of the time.  A clean dropped dually looks great in my eyes, not very practical though for anything but maybe towing a boat.  But taking a stock pick up and putting 22" rims and 50 series tires is plain old stupid. 

 
Hard Pass for me if they stick out from the wheel wells

Fender Flares if you have to go that way

Not only is it annoying when in the rain it whips water up  all over the side of the truck  but also a great way to get pulled over  since its illegal  

Lastly its really hard on the wheel bearings and axles   - I hate wearing things out for no reason

Open wheel racing/driving on the street, what could go wrong?

 
Absolutely CAN'T stand the look of the lifted to the moon, Low profile wheels/tires sticking out 12" on either side, all chromed out under chassis, blah blah blah!

Worthless, mall crawler...but to each their own right???

Oh and the Dog Wheelie stance... :simrak:
