    A growing trend around here is drug dealers/rappers/wannabes putting comically big wheels on retired police cruisers, i.e. Crown Vics.

    They leave the little spot light mounted on the driver's door, darken the windows, leave the big sway bars, etc and generally try to make the cars looks as police-y as possible except for the big wheels.

    Is in SC, is this happening everywhere?

    Not the Vics, but definitely lots of over-improved wheels on crapwagons. There's a custom shop behind my business that actually does a lot of high end work. You see some pretty nice cars roll in and out.

    Yes,
    here too,

    funny to see them roll,,
    right into some crappy a$s trailer park.

    Then, later they have to sell them dubs, ,
    because they have no cash.

    Will, how much do they go for? Thinking I might need something better suited for lugging around bass gear.

    Stay away from retired cruisers unless you're parting them out. They're beat to hell.

    Lots of Donks here in Nor Cal. Mostly Caprices, etc. Not too many Vics.

    The other humorous addition to a variety of cars is what I call 'Buick Holes'. The 3 vents on the front fender that Buick has done forever, are turning up on Civics, Expeditions, and every other vehicle on the planet. I've even seen them on late model BMW's. Sad.
