I saw a Lexus with those wheels yesterday...looks ridiculous.

Interesting how that guy was able to afford all of that fabrication work, wheels/tires/paint etc...but the interior looks like hell...

Nice duct tape upholstery. It would be funny with a set of mudders on it.

Take the lift kit and silly rims off and you'd have a decent car.

I see from the current bid that there are some people on earth who think that looks good. How they can think that remains a mystery to me.

Rather impressive feat of engineering to end up with such an ugly POS. What kind of moron would spend $15K on a set of tires for it?

stopping would be fun with stock drum brakes and undersized rotors.

The interior is top notch.

The engine is just brilliant.


I bet that stupid thing would flip easily

He might get about half of that back in the sale.

I hope he includes the ladder for entry and egress.

He forgot to mention the maximum speed one should maintain for a 90 degree turn.

Man imagine if you woke up to find your 15K wheels and tires stolen...stupid! SPending 15K on wheels and tires on a crappy mid 70's Buick, stupid! Not even a collectable car is it? Most American cars turned to **** after 1970.

Then again what thieves would have a jack that would reach that high

First damn thing occurred to me,how is he gonna stop it?

I can picture cruising on the Taconic Parkway here,{a lousy,poorly designed road}rolling over at the slightest turn.

Unless the large wheels have a gyroscopic,stabilising effect at high speed,which thought likely did not occurr to our stalwart and creative suspensionmeister.
