Definitely not a bad looking car and true, it's an easy fix. For sure I've seen worst. Nothing that a wheel swap couldn't fix.

Never been a fan of the $100 bill laying in the lip, but it is hugely popular so what do I know...?

I also think 20s on the rear with rubber bands and 18s on the front looks awful... again, hugely popular so I must be completely clueless...

Sure would not want to be the guy who had to mount those tires!!!
probably have to mount the rim halves into the tire and then bolt it together.

:bang:

Jeff, I have a 7" lip on my rear wheels and that's probably deeper than most would like, but I think you could lay a loaf of bread inside these wheels.

I assume these are reverse mount..have to put face of the wheel down on the wheels clamps though...that can pucker the old bum...one slip while clamped and game over...

I don't care for the look.

That's called pro-street. It's still a thing.

Maybe it was already pro-street tubbed,then he decided to try the pro-tour look and take the MT wrinkle walls off.

Or he's from Oakland. Lots of cars like that there.:EmoteClueless:

They would need to have at least 28in rims to be considered a true Oakland 'whip' like this one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cd66Mx7m6NU/maxresdefault.jpg

PS: I live in Oakland and only have 18's on my '68, so I guess I don't have any street cred.

I thought calling it pro-street was enough of an insult. Now you guys are calling the poor car a donk. Street cred is so overrated . . .

If you want to get any attention with a 69 Camaro, sometimes requires extreme measures. Not my cup of tea, but I think it's nicely done.

I still see cars frequently built like this in Australia, It's not my cup of tea but like everyone said, it's fixable. the dish is one thing, but the over-staggered appearance is what gets to me

I would call that "Pro-Donk", or "Faux-Touring". To me, Pro-Touring is more about performance than bling. That car screams bling and I doubt it would handle or brake well. But to each his own.

There is only one opinion that matters, the guy that stroked the check. My opinion, ridiculous.
