Has the chariot wheels. They are called orangutan's or swangers. Apparently, Houston is known for starting this trend. Its a big deal to have spares too, like the one in this pic. Law is as long as its not past 8 inches on both sides you are all good. My co worker is all fired up about getting some. These jackasses roll down the main highway at night with their trunks open blasting their **** bass and sparking from their bagged drops. It's ridiculous. Racial stereotype FTW!

Haha it blows my mind! I guess different strokes for different folks... Until you take my knee caps off while im runnin on the side walk. Ouch...

P.S If my co-worker ends up with a set I'll pop em on the Z for funzies if they fit. Hes gettin the orangutans which are 8 inches. there's monkeys, gorrilas, lemurs, etc depending on length.

I have to look and see if there is a law about these, off hand the only thing I can think of is "reckless endangerment"......

I thought the cars/style were called SLABS and the wheels were called swangers? The wheels were modeled off the old el dorado no less haha.
