Well, its official then. In the smaller town areas I've seen big rims on [censored] cars and a couple with loudspeakers. Obviously its big in the south now and will spread everywhere. Hey it looks like shyte but they said that about minitrucks and lowriders back in the day too. It will take some getting used to though. THe loudspeakers got to go....thats a ticket and a half waiting to happen. I say we start tearing into garage sales for every 1970s home stereo system, the ones with the huge horn tweeters in them, pick 'em up for a $1 before anyone figures it out and start selling 'em on Ebay for $100 a pair as "official speakers to Donk your ride" or something like that.

If you find those speakers, sell them to me for 100.00

The no bass all mid/tweet has been around for a while. Not sure what the reason. Maybe the baller is low on ends or they got jacked for their subs...
Since the 90's though using 4" mids in groups of four per door (Earthquake must have sold 2000 of these in C-town alone) and tweets everytwhere have been in Cleveland. We get fools riding down in the flats with doors open, people on roofs, all sorts of dumb [censored]. I cant see why folks need stickers with their rim size on the car, maybe they got tired of people asking, but isnt that the point of huge rims, to draw attention to your self....
Vdub needs to add that to their new commercials....

All the money spent on rims left nothing for the expensive subs and amps.
Kmart Kraco speakers is all they could afford till their babys-mommas-sisters-cousin gives em some more cash.

or until the next welfare check comes in.. If anybody ever takes the chicago train from the suburbs that goes past the projects, you'll see everybody out side playing dice and soo many late 80's, early 90's cadillacs with huge rims on them.. Talk about messed up priorities, status symbols are #1 in my book over financal stability

Same in Pittsburgh. My students care more about their rims and what Jordan's they have than about their education. Unfortunately, it's not just down south. Thankfully, haven't noticed the no bass thing, though. That just means we are behind the times.  Some people have no sense.

But at the end of the day, they still have a late 80's, early 90's Cadillac.

i cant attest to everything he's saying it was easily 4 years ago when i saw the first car at an akron/cleveland area car show with like 8 4" speakers per door.. rolling doors open.. and the best part.. TVs on the front of the head rest..
also i dont have the quote but i respect it. these guys are out there putting straight axles on their rides so they can lift them big enough to put 28" wheels and then spend the money to put down some sick candy paint. When they are done they have a car they can be proud of (obviously thats relative) for less than the price of a lot of new cars. I personally think they are silly looking and remind me of a clown car, but just because i dont like it dosent mean i can't respect it.
