Can someone please tell me what the purpose of..........

[Richard Cranium]

.....these cockeyed wheels on ricers is about? I don't get it.

 

[texas69bee]

I don't get it either. I was at a car show and saw one for the first time. I told my son this guys axle was bent. Of course he laughed his *** off. I guess it's called slammed but I still don't get it.

They seem rather apropos for the POS riding on them. All I can say is consider the source. The guys using them have no taste and if it weren't for low class, they'd have none at all.

stupid fuckers all the ricans down here have that broken down look with 50,000 dollar motors under the hoods

 

[Xp29h]

What's the guy doin running to the passenger side door for!

It looks like crap anyway but he just Rob something/someone?

In their tiny minds, the angled wheels help with cornering when 'drifting' much like the little wankers think those big wings on the back offer any sort of down-force.

If they want less rubber on the road narrow tires would make way more sense and last a lot longer.
First one I saw thought maybe he was just trying to get the big tires under the body.

 

[Hemirunner]

Lots of camber....keeps them hugging the orange hot wheels track!

 

[ws23jrt]

It's just a different sort of "donk?" Making practical sense is not a part of the plan.
Some folks have a hard time walking cause their pants have fallen down butt thats where they need to be for the "look" of the day.

If these guys were thinking about drifting? --their cars are not set up for it.

 

[dla4567]

Chicks dig it.

 

[ws23jrt]

Chicks dig it.

What kind?

[eldubb440]

you are looking for purpose? ........ lol, I doubt there is one........

 

[Dans 68]

Has it been proven that drifting is the fastest way through a corner? Maybe on a dirt track I'd guess....

Hey, we did some dumb **** when we were kids!

 

[ws23jrt]

Drifting is a sport all it's own and Ken block seems to have it down.

 

[ZR9B]

Kinda looks like a duster I had back in the day.....man that thing would chew up tires in no time.

 

[khryslerkid]

Drifting is a sport all it's own and Ken block seems to have it down.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just drive it around a turn?

 

[ws23jrt]

Wouldn't it make more sense to just drive it around a turn?

It would if it was a timed event from point a to point b.
This guy Ken Block and his car are not about racing.

It's called stanced, or hella flush, or some dumb term. It has no useful function and generally is paired with stretched tires, IE a 7" tire on a 10" rim. It started out being so they could run wider rims without smashing their fenders, so it would look good parked. IE "hard parking". Then they started going wild with it as a style thing.

Generally speaking, just as stupid and dangerous as the jacked-up-so-30"-rims-will-fit crowd. So many ghetto-fabbed suspensions in both...
