I don't know what the big deal is. I have those head lights and tail lights.

Bet that was pretty expensive and now rides really rough. I would hate to have to worry about scratching up my high dollar rims just with daily driving.

It's a new category of vehicles, High Rider. Just think of all the batteries you could put in the back.

with that size of tire the first pothole he hits will bend his rim beyond repair...then maybe jose will put something on that actually looks good.

that's ridiculous beyond belief, should have to screen people before they buy special edition vehicles so these type of things don't happen

I still think that to buy a Harley edition you should have to show a title to proove that you own a Harley motorcycle.

street truck needs to be lowered. I would like to have a little more rubber than that. I don't see how the tires are gonna protect the rims or give anything close to a decent ride.

Sure, because acknowledging stereotypes that exist for a reason against any single group of people is automatically bigotry.

If I see a lowrider here in Las Cruces with wheels and tires that are 13 inches wide and stick out from the vehicle about 4 inches from the fenders, I automatically assume it's a Hispanic person. I've not been wrong yet, but I suppose that makes me a bigot. Additionally I rarely see a jacked up pickup truck with mud boggers whos owner isn't white and wearing a baseball cap, so I automatically assume when I see one that the owner is a white guy. Guess that makes me a bigot too. Different races like different things and find different things attractive in vehicles, that's a fact. Whether it's bred into the race or part of upbringing or the dominant culture during childhood... who knows, but it doesn't change that you can pretty much tell someone's ethnicity by looking at how they behave. That's not bigotry. Disliking someone's design choices BECAUSE of their race alone is bigotry. I challenge you to find someone here who would like the wheels on that truck regardless of who owned it.


Sorry... calling someone a bigot for simply recognizing racial differences and trends is a pet peeve of mine.

As for the truck... it's a beautiful vehicle minus the wheels, change those wheels and that's a winner, but the wheels are a little over the top. lol

That's because mine are stock. I'd like to have his wheels too. I'd sell them and get something 'not hideous'.
