They cut the springs, get deep wheels with a big offset, wide tires, and eureka! They have (their opinion) a cool low rider! At least until a wheel falls off. ---

my last 2 vues had 16" rims and 17" rims. i got a nice set of 18" rims but no tires. i did a quick look on CL for used tires in my size but did not find any that were newish. didnt feel like buying a new set as the old wheels were not in great demand and would have been hard to peddle ---
