I see plenty of that being done here and always think "why?". There's a shop that specializes in that and they did one a few years ago on 26s. Once I saw what it takes to get those wheels under the car, I cringed.

I saw a Camaro yesterday ... I swear, it was on 30's! No joke. I've never seen one so high. It looked like a 4X4 monster truck with a Camaro body. It was ... not my cup of tea.

I'm going to add, I lived in Montgomery Alabama for about 7 years. "High Rollin" was very popular there and it sort of grew on me. But only with older mostly wothless domestic cars and trucks. And only up to about 22's. I saw a real old Suburban one time that had a fairly low cost paint job, big old chrome rims, and the inside has been refreshed and was CLEAN. I really liked what that guy did. If it weren't for his efforts, that old 80's suburban would have been worth maybe $500. With his efforts, maybe it wasn't worth more than $3,000 or so. I bet he put more than that into it. But what I liked was that he put a lot of pride in that old truck. And it looked good just based on his efforts alone. Oh and I remember he had the engine all cleaned and dressed up nice too. And it ran good. Instances of that kind of stuff got me liking that High Rollin.

But then, a brand new $60k BMW X5 would roll by with some butt ugly 24's and make me want to puke. $60k car, that just depreciated by $12k from the purchase and then depreciated another $10k with the addition of $4k leased ugly wheels. You tell me ... who looks like the smarter guy? The X5 owner? Or the old Suburban owner?
