No one here is surprised. You never liked that car anyway.
I’m not into Lowriders

Beautiful car but those wheels are terrible
To me that is kind of the point of these things. They don't want or care what others think. Would Dayton 100 spokes really be any better? Maybe correct for the lowrider genre but still ugly as sin, in my opinion.
Same here but it is like fashion. We all appreciate different styles but everyone appreciate quality even if it is not his cup of tea.
I don't care for the tiny spokes like Zenith Wire Wheels, which was originally right here in Campbell, CA. Now, the original TruSpokes are gorgeous but they flex terribly rendering handling horrible.
I can appreciate the work that goes into modifying vehicles, and some of them do look good,…for what they are.
I prefer vehicles that look as they did during their era. If it’s restored or modified, I prefer it to be subtle. I don’t mind updating the drivetrain and suspension, or even the wheels and tires, but be subtle. I like it to look period correct, or pretty close, when just looking at it with the hood closed.
Let’s look at two examples.
1. Chip Foose. I can appreciate the amount of work and expertise that goes into it, but I think his builds were eyesores. I would want to puke when I saw some of his “overhaul” builds.
2. David Frieburger. He says to drive your garbage. While he has modified plenty of things, they’re not pimped out rides riding on 24’s with rubber bands for tires. I love the way he appreciates those older cars and doesn’t mind driving around in them as they are. He appreciates the sun baked, weather beaten patina. It gives the car character.
Again, I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into them, but I fall into the same camp as Frieburger. I don’t care for flashy paint jobs or huge, gaudy rims.
