Price a 94 Turbo 3.6 (bad boys movie car) and you would see insanity! Rare flatnose versions can be 1mm

no chance........79 Eldorado was the first year of the small body version (Deniro got blown up in one at the end of the Casino movie). 78 and older was the big boat ones but 32's won't fit without mods......

Here is a big body Eldo riding on 28's.....imagine 32's trying to fit

Like almost everybody.

I'm lucky in that I mostly like cheap weird cars.
If I was a multi-zillionaire, I'd probably have one of those big steel buildings full of them.
The steel building will probably be worth more than the cars. I'd have it all lit up inside with dealership signs.

I got room today for two, so I'm gonna have two.

I never understood this at all...

Why? So you can say you dropped 10k on wheels?

They're popular in florida...

From crown vics and old caprices to new mustangs and camaros...

Every single hoodmobile I've seen, and heard, the power steering pumps are screaming, rear end clunks, and the factory rotors pads and calipers oh my sides hurt!

Whatever happened to something classy like a Fleetwood on reverse spoked daytons wrapped in fat white walls?

We don't have them in NY...

In NY we have pot holes big enough to swallow buicks...
First pot hole with that thing, those wheels are trashed.

First deer that runs out in front of that thing is getting clobbered.

What NY does have which is just as equally confusing, were kids buying Volkswagens, scraping all of the paint off the hood, letting it rust, then getting audi Mercedes or BMW wheels, putting low profile tires that were too narrow to fit the bead of the wheel and stretching the tire to fit, then! Adjust the camber so the wheels drastically tip inward...

Chit box Hondas with fart cannons on them ran rampant.

Lifted trucks all year around. Lowered trucks spring-fall.

And lots of 3rd Gen f bodies and Fox body mustangs.
