Opinion on DONKS

[Benji0687]

Ive had several sets of rims on my 89 Caprice...thinking about going to 24s but I'm saving for the proper lift I want and new front disc brakes and a drum to disc conversion kit for the back. My goal is to have it just high enough that it doesnt rub, but no higher. Its all personal taste. Do I think riced out imports w/ body kits are cool? No, but thats MY OPINION. I'm not a big fan of trucks with 18s and huge ass tires jacked wayy up, but does that matter? NO. because its my OPINION. People who hate either arent open minded, or jealous. If you don't like donks, thats perfectly fine, you're entitled to your opinion. I've had all kinda of feedback from my Caprice, some people LOVE it, and some people say the meanest shit. I don't let it bother me though, haters gonna hate no matter what you do.

My mind was totally in the gutter when I went to open this thread.

Well i like said before, i didnt start this thread to bash anyone who owns a donk because car audio and customization is all personal preferance. Some people think my bass hobby is a waste of money just like i think their kayaking hobby is a waste of time. I probably should've narrowed the criteria down to a performance stand point instead of just in general. I cant really judge because i've only ridden in a donk once and hated it because it didnt feel smooth, but thats just one car. Someone else's ride could ride like a cloud idk. I just wanted to see what other people thought about them.

like said above if there done right not some huge suspension/body lift that you can see right through

look up the phantom caprice donk, that was built from the ground up, thats my favorite donk

I didn't even like that one. WIth /very/ few exceptions, I don't like cars jacked up on big wheels. To be honest, I don't like trucks jacked up to fit big wheels. Tires? Yes. Wheels? No. There's no real purpose to it except to make the vehicle look "cool," all the while you increase wear and tear, and generally make the thing a road hazard.

That said, a) I'm glad donk owners like their cars, and 2) I'm leaving this thread before it degenerates like the last one.

I don't see too much reasoning in that.

I have my '85 Olds on 24" rims and I think it looks good. But other people say it's dumb and a waste of money, most of those people being guys with lifted trucks.

The same people you're refering too when you say it's ok to lift for tires, but then again, that's a waste of money too since most of them don't take their truck off roading or to the dunes or anything.

So big tires = waste of money since they aren't being used most ofthe time.

Donks = not as big wasted of money dice they serve their perpose. Attention grabbers.

And I'll post this before it starts, KEEP THE RACIAL AND DERROGATORY SHIT OUT OF THIS THREAD!!

I think Donks are badass when done right. Would I ever own one? Probably not cause that really aint my style but I can appreciate other tastes as well.

As a previous owner of a 1994 Impala SS i think anything over 20's on that car look like turd. But thats my opinion, I liked my car lowered with less wheel gap. I'm a mechanic near the hood and ive driven a fair number of cars with wheels over 24" and every one of them drove like complete crap. Probably driven bout 15 caprices or crown vics with big wheels and they were all horrible. I can see the "just for show" part of it but definately not for a daily driver. IMO, wheels that big should only be on trucks. Ive driven a few trucks with 24's and 26's and they were not nearly as bad. The suspension and brakes could handle it a lot better. But as people stated earlier, its just an opinion and thats whats great about cars, you can modify them to suit your needs or your own individual taste.

I'm sorry but imo I think "donks" look like ass(no pun intended). Anything over 20's-22's on cars just looks retarted. I just laugh every time I see those old Caprices or Cutlasses with like a primer paint job, a lift kit and some clown ass 26's.

Speaking of donks, this vid has always given me lulz

in b4 lock

cars are geographical... donks in the SE, euros in the NE, trucks in the south, lowirders w/ hydros in the W. It's all preference!!!!!! Stop these pointless threads

as long as they are done right (24's on Caprices/Imapalas,Grand Marqs, Crown Vics, 24's on a Cutlass/Regal, 26's on Muscle Cars, etc.).
