Are you turning that into a Pontiac? And have you seen the Old's Cutlass resin bodies on ebay? These things are still kinda ridiculous to me. But you do them well.

There really is no point. Its a styling, or lack thereof, trend. Unless of course the point is to throw the handling of the car out the window, and make the CG really high, causing them to be a pain to drive and roll over easily.
To each his own.

No seriously, there are clear rims. They use thick polycarb for it. It looks stupid, but they do exist.

Aww...you're like a year too late. We already had the "the donk's look reterted thread" Heh.
So I guess you are making those rims, the clear ones?

What's the point of flames and mags on a '32 Ford? Why do I hunt everywhere for some Mugen NR-10s? Why buy a Hummer or a Braubus Mercedes?
Why are Ferraris red??
Because someone thinks they're cool that way. Not everyone will agree.
I like the clear rims. I was waiting to see who would do this. Why not find the center and the nuts and drill them out instead of black paint? It would look cleaner. Good work so far.

It would be if I made the thread. :p I've been into customizing cars and motorcycles since i was a young teen but this new style of customizing is something I havent been able to figure out and, honestly, cant find what's so "sick" about it. I see it as the other kind of "sick" :puke: Put those wheels on a big truck or SUV but if you insist on making the ride high then just go ahead and make it a monster truck. It's just my opinion.

I saw this car on some website not to long ago burning rubber and then peeling off. I was thinking:eek: "those tires are so thin they're going to pop flat and the wheels are going to grind on the pavement and fall apart causing the rear of the car to fall to the floor."

I totally have to agree with willimo! Sadly, that is.
I think those donks are pretty cool, they're different, they're fun, and they're crazy. Just like red-haired speedmonkey chicks with little t & a.
I think one of those will make a good model.
Don't hate, appreciate!

well said.. some people on this thread seem to be closed minded.. if its customized.. whats the problem with it.. yeah it may not be your style.. but its still a work of art none the less.. just becasue it isnt done the "way you want it to be" or the way it was done when you were growing up doenst mean that it didnt take alot of work and skill. each person has their own taste.. and everyone should respect that. I like all walks of customizing.. even down to the gassers, rat rods, hot rods.. and yes.. even the donks, boxes and bubbles.. if its customized.. I like it

now that vid is funny...
as for the type of ride .. eh .. to each their own ... me personally, i don't like any wheel that has a larger dia' then the wheel opening ... i prefer for them to match in size or be slightly smaller ...
(and yeah that goes for those jacked up trucks as well) ...
as for the orig topic of the thread .. good work so far ... will look better with real lugs and such on there.
