Rent a wheel?

This isnt just a new thing, its been happening since before i was born.

You're like what?  14?    Everything has been happening since before you were born.


That pic is an old chevy with a straight axle front end that they used to do in the 50's and 60's.... before I was born.
That is NOT the same thing as bling.   Just things people did in another era... hell that was retro in 1980 before people called things retro.
 
My friend / paint guy has a black '56 Chevy with a straight axle front end too.   I think it's cool as hell.   So does he.

theyre called "Donks". Its the latest sensation that is sweeping the Dirty South of our nation. They put Hummer axels on them rides and put 26"-30" rims on them. Some weird shit.

  It started over in the lower west side of the states and I have not seen any of them with Hummer "axels" put on to do it. They buy an adapter plate ( when needed ) to put them on. There is a Sound Shop here that has a 4wheeler with 20" rims on it. This too was an adapter plate setup. ( why they did it I dont know ) 
As for the " rent a rim " the up side of this is that the rims and tires have Ins. on them while you pay for them. I was ragging on a bud of mine for getting some 15" rims with M/T's to put on his ride. He showed me the ticket and when all was said and done he didnt pay but $100 over Summits price. He had about three more payments when he bent a rim at the track, He took it off the car, went back to the store and got a new with no extra money. Not a bad deal in his case.
