Weird Ass Jap Wheels?

[geno8r]

Whats the go with weird ass jap wheels i've been seeing in funkys image gallery.

The rims come out more than the tires & are curved funny around the edge, & the cars are drop so low they would scrape, rest on the wheels. I spose they have hydrolics for that.

Here's the cars im talking about:

Those cars have always looked like Thunderbird cars to me lol... they just don't look real for some reason. Possibly the low angled shot, but I don't know... Old School.

Doesn't it look insane?

The rims are quite wide (maybe 10 inch or so) but they use narrow tyres on them to get that stretched look... with some of the more extreme wheel width and tyre "narrowness" combo's they need inner tubes to keep the tyres inflated. The second last pic is a REALLY good example!

Of course all this came about because "Yanki" (Japanese car freaks) try and outdo each other in car modifying. They have legit "gangs", and having those insane modifications are part of being in the gang... the leader often has the wildest car. Not sure why the use mid-80's Soarers and Mark II's as their choice of car though...

Huhhhh :spcartman... those crazy japs, you also see the most WILD vans with the most ridiculous body kits & wings & stuff... crazzzzzzzzyy

Also how the hell do they drive those cars, they seem to have the lowest modded cars in Japan, super low! The ones with the cars resting on the tires have hyrdrolics right.

Spoilers under the car... they just dont know when to stop do they....

No speedhumps in Japan. They really are that low, all the time.

One of these would make a fun daily hack. Anyone got a spare Datsun 240K for sale?

Ok no speed humps, but they still have gutters & car park inclines.... theres no way some of those are like that all the time, as the picture shows atleast one of those is resting on the tire.
