Modern car's look shit and melted.
No one cares about all of these criticisms, ricers are cool.
Stick 5 ft up the ass.
Every single one of the cars you were putting up on screen as "good cars" looked absolutely disgusting. Melted Popsicle rich person mobile. Imagine spending your entire salary on a melted peice of butter and then not even street racing it.
Hey Nico it's Roman let's go bowling
Another trend that should die ,, is this channel
Right so if bmw has a M trim package for any car how is it rice if its stock
sorry Craig, there's literally nothing wrong with black or dark wheels, its vehicle dependent but on the whole, nothing wrong with them. and theres also nothing wrong with mudflaps, especially ones where they're proprietary kits made for a car specifically. rally armor makes the best proprietary aftermarket mudflaps out there and they do help with protecting the paint on cars and i think they look fantastic on /almost/ anything.
what should have been mentioned is underglow, tow hooks that cant support the weight of a vehicle, and crackle tunes/ghost cam tunes, and for diesels, rolling coal tunes.
No. Black wheels make no sense!
It doesn't matter if the car is white, red or yellow...
Wheels should always be easily visible and recognizable on a car!
👉 *Wheels make the car!*
Full black cars look just as bad!
Looks like a locked car in a video game (black silhouette)...
The car has no presence at all...
@@Kev27RS he said black wheels, just because a car has black wheels doesn't mean the whole car is black lmao fucking bots
@@Kev27RS i never believed that wheels make any car. the driving experience and engineering quality is what makes a car. wheels contribute overall but they're not the biggest deciding factor. black can also hide dirt/brake dust a bit more. its vehicle dependent, yes, but they have their place. black or dark wheels with a machined face or machined portions of the spokes are also nice on the whole and provide a good accent & contrast as well.
@@Kev27RS Okay, what about my winter wheels that are almost always covered in snow. They're downsized one inch so I have more sidewall. They have a machined face, but they're black. Is that a problem?
I agree
Black wheels don't always look bad,depends on the car and its colour
Underflow is just straight trash,keep that shit in 2004 where it belongs
Glad these silly mods got addressed, tired of seeing backwards fake hood scoops on RAV4’s
Are we talking about modern RAV4. Early models came with air intake as standard
Those Rav4s with hood scoops? Those are stocks. Can't mess with those 180hp and 240hp Celica-engine Ravs though.
As far as I know the 2001-2005 diesel RAV4s had hood scoops, but the ones I’m referring to are stock NA Rav4s with autozone hood scoops 😂
@@harry8k Autozone or Pepboys hood scoops on 1995-1999 mostly have swapped engines for the turbo.
The 2006 onwards and the new ones though.. I get you.
@@harry8k Lol
Mudflaps worked for me as I was driving on unpaved roads and broken up streets so they helped keep the rocks from damaging the lower fenders and rockers.
You went to the mud so they are functional
I was gonna say this guy has never driven on a dirt road. In less then a year of driving on dirt the lower portion of a car will look terrible.
love the channel but i highly disagreee about mudflaps. Mudflaps are used on my car to stop paint chipping away from the bottom of my doors from gravel and unpaved highway roads. Most of the time this is why people are using the mudflaps on their cars.
The Streets are neglected in my area & I use them on my 2013 Boss 302 to preserve the finish. They're not overly huge & protruding, but styled to fit the body, just big enough to do the job effectively 😌.
What's still Better is they're Carbon fiber!
If your Subaru ain't muddy....is it really a Subaru?
Tow hooks for cars that have never seen a track. Bonus points for attaching to the body/can't support weight of the car
Only reason I kept one on my civic is because it was so low nobody could tow it (and yes I hated the car cause of how low it sat)
@@jamesprice2163 To each their own man. If you could pull it by the hook. At least it was functional. My first car was an 87 Accord. With Pep Boys double bladed windshield washer blades, a fo carbon fiber shift nob, and Honda sticker across the top of the windshield.
@@jdiluigi oh God lol mine was slammed on blown struts and cut springs, specter air intake and a aftermarket header that was cracked but there was no floors left, the wiring was a mess and the d16z6 v-tec motor had been swapped for a d16y7 non v-tec motor with a five speed that has literally non existent shift bushings all that goodness for 700$ and a working sunroof
I have a tow hook on my street car bc i b crashing
I'm not sure if it's still a thing, but back then the tow hooks were just added on there along with a doll(anything on the hook) just to tell others you're interested in racing. My memory might be hazy about this.
Agree with everything except the black wheels, sometimes it makes the car looks better, more agressive perhaps. You also showed some wheels near the end, which were black, quite nice.
Black wheels can be better, just as gold/white looks great on rally vehicles imo
Edit: surprised as you covered the Carolina squat, and excessively lowering/camber, that you didn’t include trucks being lifted…
Black wheels make no sense!
There's no way around it.
It doesn't matter if the car is white, red or yellow, or whatever color fits black...
Wheels should always be easily visible and recognizable on a car!
👉 *Wheels make the car!*
lifting trucks is no different then lowering cars, it's done for a functional use and a visual use. so why would he cover those?
@@DanielRichards644 Because certain lifted trucks look silly and serve no real purpose.
Go take a look at SEMA SHOW pictures from recent years.
@@Kev27RS like with everything in life there is a point when you go to far, that doesn't mean the whole category is bad, thats like saying every person of a certain skin color is a terrorist just because some of them are or every white person is a p3do because Joe Biden's USPS dude in charge of mail in ballots was busted the other day as one. Generally speaking 3-6" up or down from factory is a good safe range of adjustment that will look good, when you are 3 feet above factory that rarely looks good.
@@DanielRichards644 Yes, there's good and bad everywhere.
Jesus. I know I've missed a few videos but damn. That advert 😂
My understanding is that louvers were copying the Lamborghini Miura. The Miura was the first car to have these to allow ventilation to the engine and the driver to be able to see out of the rear as there was no glass under the louvres
If you're talking about the side louvers, the Miura wasn't the first. Mustangs came out with that a year or two before.
I had a 64 Beetle - cherried and back to stock for daily driving .... and came time to sell - no takers. New Porsche 4 splines & low profile Pirellis, Lowered shocks all the way around, replaced stock interior with 'race seats' & harnesses, added a roll bar, removed the running boards - added a fiberglass wide body kit, tinted the windows, cherry bomb exhaust, flat black rattle can paint, dechromed the whole thing and put on a 1/4 veewee wing. Performance upgrades - *ZERO*
Sold it at first car show for 17K. All the stock take offs went to new homes via E-Bay
apparently - RICE Sells. A poser and their money are soon separated
Bought a used stock Corrado - banked the rest.
Going from Truck to car, I’ve seen a lot of this. Midwest has the truck scene and squatting gets people in trouble around here.
I have to say Craig, mud flaps can actually keep Road Dirt and Grime of your Paintwork, which always helps, so I don’t think there that bad really, take care and drive safe.
Black monoblock wheels, couldn’t agree more lmao. Black face, polished lip multi piece wheels look good though.
Not even that, as the main piece of the wheels isn't recognizable anymore...
fucking yes, I agree with that 100% I hate all black but if you throw something else in there that makes it appealing im all for it!
Best advice I ever got was from this video.
Fart in an elevator and hitting emergency stop.
I’m not a fan of blacked wheels either. I’ve heard they make a white car have a “storm trooper” looks but I wouldn’t, I think they always make the car look ugly and overused as in high mileage. Another trend I see is people with stickers of all kinds of shit, usually on the rear side of their vehicles.
True!
People only want that obvious color combo.
Black wheels on a car make no sense!
There's no way around it...
It doesn't matter if the car is *white, red or yellow* or whatever color fits black...
Wheels should always be *visible and recognizable* on a car at any given moment!
While standing in front of the car or looking at it from a distance.
👉 *Wheels make the car!*
I've noticed full size trucks with what I'm calling BRICE big rig inspired cosmetic enhancement stuff like fake stacks and low pro tires and 6" lift
I got some aftermarket exhaust tips for my 10th gen Honda Civic, I just haven't installed them yet... because the rest of my car is mostly stock. I want to get rims and lowered springs, then the tips will look more in place. I don't care for a loud exhaust, just better looking exhaust tips.
Craig them amgs u posted are amg lines and come woth those badges from factory same as alot of a msport bmws especially on the old models
Straight Piping
Overrun 'pops and bangs'
Black wheels look sweet on certain cars
Agree with all but black rims are so damn beautiful, can’t go wrong with them, they made everything so much better, but yeah, sometimes it could be laziness

If you're going to modify it. Try to make it look factory. Nothing better than seeing a car that looks OEM+
:/ mudflaps can serve a purpose if the roads around your area are not that great, they can save your paint a bit.
Sure, but again, I live in California. Hard pressed to find a dirt road in town.
@@craiglieberman even on regular roads I've found mudflaps useful to prevent paint damage to an extent. But I guess if there's not even small rocks and the roads are kept super tidy. But that ain't the case for most roads I'm aware of.
Ohh the importance of rims in New Orleans.
Former BMW mechanic in New Orleans.
Me: your 2003 745 is broken. The engine is bad, the transmission is bad, the brakes are bad, the suspension is bad the steering rack is bad and the can bus system is shorting out.
Owner of car: cool cool... Can I put on 26" rims?
What if I cut a hole under my stick o scope so it actually gets cool air to the filter
Carbon black wheels with Crome on the width. Tell me that’s not hot on the right color lol
In my opinion, I would add the Nissan #1) 350z & #2) 370z Series to the top of the list!
I also hate the black wheels!
I love stance but I'm all for air suspension
Air suspension is stance
@@TROY_MK6 I know, if I go that low I'd use air suspension, poor wording on my part
I just saw this recommend today, and the thumbnail got me to watch your video first.
Though, I do remember seeing a super tacky late 90s-2000s Focus with s plethora of fake chrome bits and, safe to say, ultra ugly with beige, yes, beige paint!
A lot of rice cars here in the Philippines still today 8/10/24. Mostly I think because lack of funds.
More annoying are the multi-color headlights on these vehicles in southern California. I had a Chevy truck come up behind me with RED headlights and I thought it was an emergency vehicle. We've gotten used to the Lexus wanna-be's with their fake BLUE headlights. Now we get every color of the rainbow. Not to mention the extra bright white headlights, and oh yeah Light Bars.
I agree with this list but people free to do what they want.
They're called ricers cause they come from Japan where their diet is primarily rice. Samething with calling Italian cars "pasta rockets"
The Corvette from Corvette Summer was cool it just had a bad flame job painted on it.
Look my last car I owned had a ridiculously big wing on it, and did it give performace? Well it was significantly lighter than other wings, it was commando style and not some crazy custom brand thats thousands of dollars. The body kit I had, made up for it considering it was made of fiberglass. But now days I see what Craig is saying, atleast from the point of view im trying to put out, there isnt really much fiberglass body kits being made anymore to subside for installing a wing like that. Thats one reason why I will always love the early 2000s alot more parts, alot more options.
My supercharged built 91 mustang that I did in 1995 had mud flaps. But I LIVE IN VERMONT and used to Dukes of Hazard that thing. And I liked my custom paint. Lol. No it never was on the road in the winter. Lol
6:06 I geuss thats why none of the iconic fast and furious cars have black wheels
I was at an LKQ in Tampa one weekend, nabbing parts for a mk3 Golf, when me and my roommate walked up on a relatively new Audi S6. Seeing no damage on the body, and the windshield claiming good motor and trans, we starting digging around looking for something else, like flood damage or signs of a fire. Dude peels the carpet back to reveal a massive hole cut into the floor at the corner of the firewall, and the entire body harness cut in half. On both sides. On the way thru the checkout, I ask one of guys working there about it and he says that it was at a shop getting chopped up to clear massive wheels for a donk build, and dude who was doing the work didn't pay attention to what he was cutting.
Ouch
Literally none of this is about car styling. Video should be named "Top 10 Car Accessories and Mods That Need To Die"

Black is indeed basic, but it can look good of done right and you know it. Hell, some wheels look terrible in anything that isn't a darker color like RS Watanabe 8 Spoke Series .
The fact that you're hating on the color black in wheels specifically because of your inability to see is just hilarious.
It can be dark grey, but not black.

What doesn't make sense is your inability to see as well as why there should be no reason to do it.
Does this mean my Dad's challenger is unrecognizable and invisible to the naked eye because it's black?
This really has to be one of the dumbest statements I've seen in years from the car community.
@@Kev27RS quit copy and pasting your comments gray top.
@@-SleepySatan- If my comment fits as a reply, I'll just copy it.
Simple as that.
Saw a superclean ae86 and ps13 on IG with gloss black wats. Looked incredible.
Black is a very neutral color, its looks good
Not on wheels!
If you want that "White & Black" or "Yellow & Black" look, just apply some black stripes or something on the car.
Not one of the main parts on a *car* that instantly changes the look *of it* .
*Wheels make the car!*
rice rocket I always thought it meant because the cars came from China or Japan and they eat a lot of rice and the cars were fast hence rice 🚀

Was working at a bank back in ‘05. Every Saturday, there would be this guy who owned a 4th gen Maxima, drive around the parking lot with his lambo doors up while bumping his obnoxious sound system.
Wings. They can be dangerous, bc if you are not adding downforce to the front equal to what the wing is doing out back..
once you get moving, you'll be unloading the front tires. ..nuff said on how dangerous that is!
Thanks, Craig, cool/funny vid. ..all I can add for car mods is, on tires, wheels, wings etc..
is buy American (if you're an American, esp lol) & help the poor shlubs that have a job, keep it.
I agree with all of that except black wheels. Black wheels are cool. I like someone who would buy expensive rims but have them look understated. It’s not all about being loud or noticed. Love the videos !
No, they're definitely silly!

Sure they don't work in all cases but i can't deny that i've seen some cars on black wheels that would look odd if the wheels were a lighter shade.
@@The_One_Over_There Yes, I get what you mean 👍 but still...
I see what you're saying, but when most cars have silver wheels I don't see how black is understated
@@tatwood93 ya I hear ya, they do stand out as something different than the norm but I would stand by the fact that it’s an un understated look if you’re just evaluating the car on its own. Funny he says he doesn’t like black rims but then shows a picture of one at the end as an option for a good rim to buy 🧐
Dude went hard on 9th gen corollas
Anyone else remember those dumb windshield washer lights?
5:45 Disagree about the black wheels, black is the new chrome. If you look at the aftermarket wheel companies and even car manufacturers today, they tend to agree.

@@Kev27RS That’s your opinion. However, wheel manufacturers and auto makers tend to go with the trends. Sure, in the 70’s and 80’s chrome was the dominate wheel. Today however, black is more popular.
@@veto8792 Not just the 80s.
90s and 2000s as well.
Correct, manufacturers want to sell, so they offer what's trendy at the moment...
Black circles under the wheel arches is trendy, so that gets sold in general...
People nowadays only go with the obvious white & black (storm trooper), black & yellow (bumblebee), etc. color combo,
so since the car is white or yellow, the wheels have to suffer...
Then black has been the new chrome for 15 years.
@@craiglieberman Pretty much, yes...
Many points I disagree but stance, yep that is horrible. It’s destroying the car and makes it unusable! You can make the car look cooler and faster, not a metal dragging on the floor… I feel bad for the cars. Might look good in photos sometimes but the pain that those cars go through ain’t worth it. And again makes it undrivable!! If it has air suspension or something that makes it go lower when stopped that’s perfect, but slammed while driving it’s stupiddd, poor cars man :(
The thing I hate about stanced owners is what they say about air suspension. Now yes I do watch a lot of bladed angel, but here we go. Not gonna say it but anyway, “aIr SuSPENTiOn iS FoR *******! (Another word for cat)
Its your car, you do whatever you want to it.
I agree with almost everything on this list, but should "tuning" be all about your or our personal perposes?
Even if we car guys and girls hate all about it, this person loves it, and should we be the judge to tell them this is ok but this isn't?
Tuning should be a personal expresoure, even if we don't like it.
If its road legal and safety , everybody should go with his personal favours, and no one had the force to cut one tuning trend down.
Just my personal opinion!
Sorry about my english, i'm from germany.
Btw, i like your videos and the cars that you have been build!

The one I hate the most on here is squatted trucks, 100% looks so stupid.
Nah he hating on spinner rims😭💯
Craig agree on a lot ... but also we are gettin old :)
We sure are. 19 year old me would actually love stance.
Next up bring a PROSTATE sponsor Craig 😎
The only pain in my ass is those people who leave asinine comments.
Black wheels always look dirty and full of brake dust.
Can we stop calling it the Carolina squat. I'm from NC. It kills me.
Spinners? I live in Michigan near Detroit. I’ve come across spinners twice in the last 15 years. I still see donks though. Also as a BMW owner I see upbadged base model beat to shit cars which honestly makes me laugh. They never want to race 😂
I love donks.

Enough Said!
Honerable mention that should’ve been on the list: cheap Chinese taillights/headlights and grills. I’ve seen so many cars and trucks with $80 aftermarket grills or lights that look terrible. Just because it’s aftermarket, doesn’t mean it looks better.
In my place it's we call it the poor man's upgrade. An aftermarket led taillight with robocop mid line connects from left to right both so dim it's just so cheap and unoriginal. Despite It looks distinctive and easy for cops to recognize you if caught doing dumb shit
Chicken coop wire mesh count?
We all did it so much in the day, manufacturers started putting them in OEMs :)
Also fake carbon fibre decals/ parts

I have always thought black rims look great for many cars.
They don't though.
Doesn't matter if the car is white, red or yellow.
Yeah okay, you have a point. But there's only one flaw. That is, if a car looks good with black wheels, it'll look even better with silver ones ;)
@@tatwood93 Exactly! 😉
I also love black rims. Just because they're not self illuminating neon green doesn't mean you can't see them and appreciate them.
I like black particularly on white, silver and yellow. Bright car colors essentially.
On a black or dark colored car, a bright wheel color is better.
@@batman3698 Interesting, I would've thought black on black was kind of your thing.. Lmao
I agree with everything except the black wheels. Having a fully black car looks good. Black isn't the most original but neither is silver or chrome.
I've seen black wheels look good on certain cars
The only thing I can’t agree with is black wheels, I think they look great on plenty of wheels and can make a car look nice.
Yah, I was kind of shocked when he said it, but I think the reasoning the magazines gave, just stuck with him until this day.
I hope he looks better into it, no colors are bad, just how you use them.
To each their own of course but I definitely agree with Craig, it's unimaginative and you can't see the wheel. It reminds me of steel winter wheels. Even in the few instances that black wheels look good, there's always a better option.

Seems like it’s only fine when lowriders do it, and they were stance for decades before imports came into the scene.

When I first got into cars back in the late 90's it was all clear tail lights, underglow lights and GTR badges. I also remember when they were filming 2F2F down here in South Florida every ricer at every car meet swore their car was being used in the movie.
I remember the StreetGlow kits and those damn Altezza lights 😂
considering the scramble scene had a bunch of the actual street racers from the area, they might be telling the truth..
Mud flaps are useful and have a purpose. I didn't have them on my 2018 WRX and right behind the wheels especially the front would be extremely dirty. Down some roads the rocks would get kicked up and scratch the paint. When I bought my 2019 STI I immediately installed them to protect my paint.
I got some on my Legacy and in the snow, which it does a ton here, the sides aren't splattered.
@@Subieghost yeah I don't blame you. They do their job well.
The only thing I could say on this is, if you love owning and driving your car everyday. It's worth whatever you're prepared to spend.
Just understand that, just because you spent a lot of time or money on it, it doesn't mean you'll ever see an equal return. But, if you love that car and really enjoy driving it, it's worth it.
Just don't do dangerous or stupid suspension shit like cutting springs, or have camber where your contact patch is smaller than a postage stamp!
Just know that I reserve the right to point and laugh when I see it scraping down the street.
I agree!
I agree with 95% of these opinions and enjoyed 100% of the commentary. Sorry but with the right color and right style, black wheels can be 🍆 ! If you can’t see them, you’re probably too old, your eyes are failing and you aren’t the target demographic anyway. 😁

Here’s one automotive trend I can’t stand, Stick-figure stickers on rear windows of minivans and SUVs. Okay, people love their families, I get that, my family means the world to me even though I’m not married. But those things are so over popularized and sometimes so ridiculous that all of the charm they may have had in the beginning is gone. Plus the people I’ve met who have those stickers are so boisterous that you just want to get away from them. Because if they have to go around boasting to the public showing off their spouse or kids or pets then that makes me think that they just might be overcompensating for some insecurities that they have. And if that is the case, I feel their pain.
I hate them because it tells a potential robber alot of information like if there's a man in the house, how many people are there and alot of the tikes of they have a pet or not they need to look for

When there’s a crashed car and the adults are unconscious or dead, the paramedics will see a sticker "Baby on board" or something like that and they will look even harder for more people in the car as there could be a baby or a little child somewhere down squeezed by seats.
Anyway I would like to put a sticker saying "There’s no school like oldschool." on my '72 Demon 340. Classic muscle cars and pony cars weren't designed to be subtle, so I think one a sticker like this on the rear glass won’t ruin the car.
I disagree with lowering springs in any aspect, doing that just makes your stock struts worse by reducing travel, even cheap coil overs are better in mechanically terms and allows adjustability for more wheel options with correct clearances and fitment
It depends on how much lower the car will be, if it's only 30mm with the mentioned high quality springs in combination with quality oem or aftermarket shocks, it will be absolutely fine, the ride quality will be fine as mostly will the durability of the shocks be too
there are different grades of "coil overs", you can buy coil overs that are fitted to your stock shocks and be just as bad off as lowering springs, maybe worse if you lower the car more then the lowering springs would have, never mind the spring rates being worse, then you have the good coilovers that are a shock/spring matched pair, those are FAR FAR more expensive then buying lowering springs and a good set of shocks.
There is a little bit more to it.
First of all, shock travel can be brought back with the use of an extended strut top. This essentially pulls the shock out and can even add a little bit of extra spring preload.
Secondly, coilovers come in a variety of executions.
There are coilovers which only have one adjustment collar for the spring seat. Cheap coilovers such as Raceland or TA are done like this. And much like with lowering springs, you're lowering these by releasing preload which also results in a shock compression when you lower it. There are some higher end coilovers which are also built like this such as Bilstein or H&R. There should be somewhat of a warning bell if these coilovers come with a "helper spring" since this is essentially made to allow the coilover to run with less than adequate preload which will result in a massive resting compression of the shock.
The best design of coilover is the one that have a separate locking collar for the spring seat, and for the bottom section. If the bottom section (which attach to the spindle or bushing) can be adjusted independetly, then this coilover can be raised or lowered while maintaining ideal spring preload. Some examples are D2, Tein Flex, or even the cheapo Maxpeedingrods.
@@DanielRichards644 These shitty spring sleeves fall under the same category as lowering springs in this context.
That's why they make Bilstein b8. Stock in every way only shorter. I'd prefer some get h and r springs and Bilstein b8 over coilovers. Almost no one can setup coilovers properly and even when they do the b8 is probably a better option.
Man, I was ready to get up in arms about #6 but you actually had some agreeable points and understandable views, and trust me, most of us in the culture (NOT a trend) actually do hold classics like Camaro SSs, 442 cutlasses and LS6 Chevelle's are to be held at a higher standard (absolutely NO lifting, cutting, or trimming them. If you can't "bolt and go", DON'T DO IT!) And that lifted purple gen 1 mustang was a joke from Cali 🤣🤣🤣
Couldn't have said it better myself! But I got love donk cars! Slabs too, and lowriders.
@@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial Lowriders are the real pieces of art!
@@Kev27RS Bullshit, I love them all. Quit hating.
@@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial yup OK for "camaros & Silverados cause they are junk 😳
Bruh, do you know how much money I've saved in carwashes since installing mudflaps on my subaru? I could probably buy another car by now lol
Maybe in rich areas of California the roads are perfect …. But everywhere else in the country mud flaps actually help protect the paint on the vehicles body…. MFU offer these as standard “mud guards” because it really does help. Also they are not “stick on” lol like some 3m glue.. most are a pain to put on and require actual work
I spent big bucks in the late 90s to get rid of camber…
I had mudflaps on my 09 Bullitt. They work great protecting the lower part of the vehicle. I also live in Alaska, so they are very helpful here.
I like the black wheels 😅
I feel bad for you. 😂
@@Kev27RS why? It’s looks nice in some cars, is modification minimalistic
And if you have a big brakes, looks really good
@@mingomix1 Black wheels make no sense!
It doesn't matter if the car is white, red or yellow...
Wheels should always be visible and recognizable!
👉 *Wheels make the car!*
@@mingomix1 The look of the wheels is more important than the look of the brake setup on a car.
The four leading examples, [IMO] the Camry owner thought their ride was legit, the 86 was a joke, and the owner knew it, the 3000gt wannabe Bugatti... somepeople have taste that bad. The blue civic, is fantastic, because it’s all metal work.
You should come to Houston sometime Craig, we have all of these offenders here. In fact someone “Donked” their hellcat. Also Houston roads are so bad that a lowered car is going to get tore up because of the drainage dips.
Same here in Dallas lol
@@TejasToolMan Same here in Cleveland!!!!!!.
Thanks for making awesome videos that allow me to disconnect from all the stress of daily life for a bit :) I appreciate it.
You lost me when you said "get replica wheels to save money" LMAO.
What's wrong with that? Some people can't afford really expensive wheels but still want the look so why not get replicas. It's not like the car that it's going on is gonna go race on a track anyway so it doesn't need to have the performance advantage of the originals just the look.
@@roachraider6169 replicas are going to let you down so hard. Save your money and buy actual wheels.
@@STiP0 Understandale but it takes some people years to save up for an original set of wheels they want so why not get what you want when you want it until you come across the real thing. Keep in mind that wheels just hold the tires onto the rest of the car and tires are what really make a huge difference so unless you're fighting with deep pot holes in new york or driving on bumpy dirt roads everyday, replica wheels made using the same methods that the major car manufactures use to cut costs really won't hurt all that much.
@@STiP0 Wheel elitism with no other justification than basically just saying "replicas bad," you really make a strong case for spending 5x as much or more for similar function lmao
@@STiP0 Not really lol. A replica works perfectly fine. It doesn't matter if you damage them, curb them, scuff them with the lug nut socket etc. Just buy another one for 150 bucks. You can put a rattle can on them when you're bored of the color. It doesn't matter because they're cheap and there for much more usable.
One trend i hate more than stance is rat-look. Not rat rods, but "roof rack, yellow headlights, stupid stickers and rusted out panels on '98 VW Passat that has springs removed to get it slammed"
Agree!
Couldn’t agree more! As for black wheels; they can look good but I hate them on the ‘black on black’ cars. So unimaginative. Black on black only looks good on undercover police cars, Mad Max’s V8 Special or K.I.T.T.
I agree. Blacked out everything is lame and over dine.
True!
Black wheels make no sense!

Full black cars look just as bad!
Looks like a locked car in a video game (black silhouette)...
The car has no presence at all...
@@Kev27RS thank you! I feel like I'm crazy saying this all the time. I'm more I to trucks, but it's like oh look there's another blacked out truck how original. Granted for trucks there aren't many options for wheel colors unless you want some stupid looking wide wheels
@@huasohvac You're not crazy.
You just have common sense!
I’m kinda surprised underglow isn’t on the list. So that means it’s Craig approved! Lol
TBH, i don't think underglow is that bad. Especially now with LED strips which are much lighter and safer than neon tubes.
In that sense it's a harmless mod with 0 performance impact which you can do for shits and giggles. You don't even have to turn them on most of the time.
I thought that this is illegal because it hinders someone from seeing the correct lights on your car and it is also a distraction.
Nowadays it is "car door projector" with is way more cringe than (illegal) old school neons.
Ohhh I understand where you’re coming from, Craig. These trends make my eyes hurt, my ears bleed and my stomach convulse.
I was out in Greenville SC a while back, and saw a dude with a donk'd out 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass. After I finished laughing, I asked around and found out that he put the largest rims possible on it without modification. He actually had the respect for the car to leave it alone.
It was FULLY restored, and was absolutely beautiful red on red.
I live in Columbia and that is what is everywhere. Verts with huge wheels. But there are a few shops here that do it right. Tuck, tub, and shorten the wheelbase. Stitch by Slick is an example (shameless plug)
I own a saturn Ion Redline that is far from stock. I have the OE redline badge on it. GM performance division badge on the core support which is legit. Also a lotus badge since GM had lotus design on the cylinder head. All legit in my book. Craig , I love you! Black wheels SUCK!!!
Louvers and black wheels, I think it more depends on what car is on. I can understand them looking weird on a japanese car unless its an older one. And black wheels, to me it just depends on what the wheel looks like or what color the car is. I'm one of those sick people that would put both on my V6 5th gen camaro.
Black wheels make no sense!

@@Kev27RS That's subjective! Black wheels doesn't mean the wheels are invisible, in fact darker wheel colors show the clearcoat much better. It's all about color combinations. I personally hate white / silver wheels on white / silver cars for example. I think a gunmetal or black fits much better on these car colors.
@@batman3698 Why does the "clearcoat" matter?
Black wheels on a car make are silly!
There's no way around it...
It's a trend that started around 12 years ago.
People just jumped on the bandwagon...
Stormtrooper, Bumblebee, etc...
That's all people think about for their car color combo.
It doesn't matter if the car is *white, red or yellow* or whatever color fits black...
Wheels should always be *recognizable* on a car at any given moment!
While standing in front of the car or looking at it from a distance.
Again, *Wheels make the car!*
I want to get a tattoo of you throwing up like the thumbnail art 😂
what about fast and furious graffix on a car😂😂
Very little people do that.
All these things are subjective. Let people install whatever they want on their car. Will always be someone complaining about something they don't like on someone else's car whether parts are expensive or cheap. Ive seen cars with a shit ton of money thrown at them with quality parts and the car still looked horrible. To each their own as they say.
My AMG has carbon ceramics and black wheels, do I get a pass? It has black wheels from the factory.
Just looks like a big black hole in the wheel well.
@@TheRealMrRoyal True!
Black wheels make no sense, no matter the color of the car.
No, you don't get a pass. 😂
Wheels are more important than the brake setup for a car's look!
Yeah, I'd say you get a pass. If it wasn't your choice then you can't be blamed for it.
I appreciated the Star Trek DS9 reference. :)
It's also good to see I'm not the only one that doesn't understand the all-black wheels trend.
You are definitely not the only one my friend
you gotta stop looking at black cars with black wheels and any matte black wheel, look at gloss black on dark blue cars, it's sick.
