I just barfed in my mouth. And not just a little.

McDoogle, you made me laugh with that pic.

The best part is they don't realize how idiotic they look.

That picture is the epitome of gangsta stupid. The ridiculous finger waving, the stance, stare and especially the contrived ghetto talk.

It's so moronic it's hysterical to watch. I see guys like this all the time, the oversize cap tilted to the side, huge shorts. They look so stupid, like a comedy act but they don't even think how funny they look.

The BEST part is, they think it's cool. I literally laughed out loud when approaching a kid like this the other day. You know how you just make that sound when you hear or see something funny while you're drinking something?

That's what I did. I started roaring when he went by.

It's not intimidating. It's a circus act. It looks childish. Why in the world someone would want to look, act and speak so they appear dumber than they are (hey, maybe they are that dumb) is beyond me.

Friggin' urban cavemen. Especially the wiggas. It's like everyone knowing the joke except them. I'm actually embarassed for them.

Everytime I see anything bigger than 20s on a car I think of this...

I like the IROC wheels and would have bought them in 22s, however there is a reason you don't see many on Camaros. The offset on these wheels is wrong for the new Camaro, so the wheels stick out past the fender. So putting these wheels on in 22s and then dropping the car is not an option. I bet you would see more if they came in the correct offset and different finishes other than chrome.

Like size Z boobs... Ya gotta look but that's it

The wheels are a bit too big for my taste, would like em better if they were 20s instead of 24s. Love the blue stripes with the white though.

sorry don't need bling wheels on my pony car. i don't know why people would purposely give their own cars worse performance in every category. the 20 inch suv/truck wheels and tires chevy gave us stock are bad enough.

Eluve38 · 02-13-2013, 06:44 PM

I thought the idea behind modding was making the car YOUR OWN!!!!! The key word in that sentence was your, for those of you that didn't get it. Go with what YOU can afford, looks good to YOU, and gives you a piece of mind. Who cares what anyone else thinks.

dont see how your concept makes me understand why people purposely make their car perform worse. your concept still has wheels that decrease your cars performance across the board. also i hope the performance you are referencing isnt a v6

I commented early but deleted it, but not you just speak crazy so I have to.

Performance across the board? If he has two sets, one for everyday driving, and one for racing, then it does not reduce performance across the board... Just during everyday driving

Also I know a few V6 guys that can take on a stock SS and clean house. Don't be such a douche bag V8

fanboy. These V6's are cleaning the clocks of Mustangs all day long too...

I've had 24" Irocs on for over a year now and literally get complements at every stop light from people of all walks of life. It's funny how so many people on this forum talk down on 24" rims but at camaro fest last year I received soooo many complements on how nice my car looked. A lot of people thought I had lowered it but I haven't. I met a lot of good people there and I'll definitely go again this year. There were so many camaros there and you couldn't find two that were identical and that's what modding is all about.....just do u
