I wonder, do they actually think it looks good? In wouldnt be seen dead in one of those things, yukk! Some people would say the same about 30-year-old Datsuns or Fords... *n You cant compare that, because old Fords and Datsuns do look good ;D ;D

Surely its like a US boso type thing. Crazy for the sake of it, but bigger wheels and height.
Have the NSRA lot seen it, i wonder what they make of it?

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

For those who 'don't get it'.... simple one-upmanship....
The bigger & blingier the rims, the more expensive they cost & therefore the richer you look.
Eventually the wheels become so huge that you gotta raise the car up to accomodate them.
Handling, or even taste do not come into the equation.
It's all 'bout tha pimpin'.

I loves me some donks ... they are cool... Official! It's all about being more and more conspicuous... the fact that people might look is exactly the point. The fact that they might laugh is beside the point...

My other thought is the initial reaction to these cars is the same as a lot of peoples initial reaction when low-riders started to become part of popular culture, ie "why would anyone want a bouncing car??" ...

Not really my thing, to my eyes a retro saloon car with chromed up tractor wheels is even worse on the eye than a 4x4 with them. ;D Each to their own but personally I wouldn't go for it.

one of the few things on here that has been posted up, that i just don't "get". but then i spose as a quiet english bloke, all this one-upmanship bypasses me.
bet those wheels cost a pretty penny though.

as some one who ownes a skoda and has put gold fablon on the roof of their car it would not be right for me to judge other peoples taste. BUT, in my own meaningless opinion thet sucks ass though i do get it, just don't like it ps Nick blatantly wants to roll 34's

Hmmm... to be honest this whole "bling" sh!te bores the a$s off me now. When it all started it was humorous and new and whatever, now it's just vulgar and dull. That said, these Donks aren't too dissimilar to traditional lowriders in that they're there to show off the owners wealth and status. Totally opposite to my own reasons for driving the cars I do - the rustier, dirtier, naster looking motors the better. Preferably with a beefy engine. Which is probably why Donks don't float my boat.

one word, blinkeredness. a lot of people are saying stupid, looks sh1it and whats the point. whats the point of fablon? strapping rusty curse word to your roof? and in gotwoods case, why has he got a loo in his boot? answer- because you can. different strokes n that.
