I wouldn't say ghetto, just his own style, and non-VIP. Don't care for the either the wheels or the grille myself. But if you like it. Its your car.....

The grill and wheels are not my flavor "BUT" too each their own. Long as you are happy with your mods, then that is all that matters. All of this stuff is subjective in the end do to people with different taste, thx for sharing your ride with us! BTW defiantly would like to see some side pics of your car like the others have said.

I assume it's good advertisement for your crack business and so the sacrafice is worth it to you, so who are we to argue?

showing pics at angles that barely show the wheels doesn't really help us see the REAL picture.

You wouldn't be trying to minimize the size of those giant wheels by showing certain pics would u ?


how about a back up, standard pics?

easy, 25 series tires.

225 25 22 and 255 20 22 will do the trick.

LOL Urban Dictionary will give you a feel for it. See definition 4 and use-in-sentence 4 as it relates to this thread:

ghetto
1. (n.) an impoverished, neglected, or otherwise disadvantaged residential area of a city, usually troubled by a disproportionately large amount of crime
2. (adj.) urban; of or relating to (inner) city life
3. (adj.) poor; of or relating to the poor life
4.(adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike

1. John's paranoia about triple-checking whether or not he's locked his car doors comes from his growing up in the ghetto
2. "Why you always be talkin' ghetto? Get yo'self a propa' e-ju-ma-kay-shun, kid!"
3. Jane hid her head in embarrasment as her mom shamelessly committed the ghetto act of stuffing the restaurant's bread rolls, sugar packets, and silverware in her purse
4. "A TV Guide duct-taped to a 4 foot stick?! That's one hella ghetto 'mote control!"

Damn, bunch of haters here

I'm not feeling the chrome side pillar on a Silver car, though it may look good on a Black car. Also, the front wheels looks like its offset to stick out a little bit, that would be an issue if he was to ever lower the car. But its an LS.

Show some love to another member
