So who actually thinks these are safe? I'm not american

>>17714282
This feels like bait
This is America, people aren't fined by the government for every tiny little thing because we have freedumbs.

What happens if you hit a pothole with one of these monstrosities?

>>17714282
Because you have to go out of your way to ticket them

For example in my state they can ticket people hogging the left lane, but cops would much rather idle in a shaded secret spot with AC at full watching their radar gun than actully move and ticket people other than speeding.

>>17714335
they crack or break

Niggers in South Carolina.

Should bring them to Victoria, Australia OP.
Down here we can't have a gearknob without the shift pattern on top, or a steering wheel without a padded rim.

These rims would be an instant grounding of the car, potential impound for 30 days lol.

Literally freedom.

People are free to be gigantic retards and ride their donks or not fasten their setbelts if they desire to do so. And I'm fine with it. Eurocucks can't modify a single damn thing without having to recertify as roadworthy it or some such.

No engine swaps if the engine is a certain % larger than stock either or over a certain weight.

So, the only things we can LS swap are Patrols or Land Cruisers.

>>17714987

>>17714328
it feels like bait, but that's how it is in yuropooria, these people need their government to tell them how to think

>>17714282
because in America we have freedom and the government doesn't dictate every single thing we do. We literally rebel against the government every chance we get except cuck states like California, new York, and Massachusetts.

>>17715120
I'm pretty sure that's wrong

I think if it's above a 20% increase in power, you need an engineer to certify EVERYTHING, which means i'd have to upgrade my rear drums.

I think if the highest trim has the same displacement you are ok

honestly i haven't reader the doc in a year or two

Why have laughably slow speed limits but allow people to drive things that are about to self-destruct?
It's like you choose to use the "muh freedoms" argument only in areas that are the least beneficial to you. I'd rather have higher speed limits but no donks on the streets than have it the other way.

>>17714282
Aight so heres the deal. Basketball enthusiasts usually dont have these for that long at a time because they get them from this place called rent-a-wheel and quickly run out of the financing to maintain the lease.

The sidewall height is no worse than on a modern sports car or "sports" car, it only looks so ridiculous because of the wheel size.

It's probably a spinner. The leaf outline isn't structural

>>17717895
That would be Mexican culture

>>17717546
Agree and I don't doubt this is true... but donks require a good amount of chassis and suspension modifications to fit those stupid wheels. After the wheels get returned, are you suggesting they then put the stock wheels on it again at a jacked up ride height? Would look like a vidya mistake

Its because of import laws not safety you dumb nigger

>>17717981
>it's not tyrone's dick up my ass but chad's, so it's ok

I think you're all missing the elephant in the room.

You run a risk of blowing a tire from hitting a pothole, it changes the geometry of the car making it handle and ride horrible, but it also adds stress on all driveline components.

I used to operate a tow truck specializing in old, custom, or eccentric cars in Orlando. To the point I was receiving calls over 6 after I moved away. During the battle of the bands I moved no less than 40 of these retarded things. Everything from blown power steering lines and pumps to blown differentials and driveshafts.

>>17717895

>>17717971
I hate to break it to you but niggers are pretty much everywhere now.

>>17718020
this is very true

>>17717952
That's a dust shield. The black part is the actual wheel and the silver lip and leaf are a spinner. Some are counter balanced and some are designed to sit in that position the whole time.

>>17714335
the large diameter wheels roll over holes with ease

>>17717981
Yeah, and one of the reasons it's banned by import laws is because it hasn't been thoroughly crash tested by the US DoT, therefore it doesn't meet DoT safety guidelines.

He's not wrong...

>>17717845
That was built with atleast safety in mind.

>Said the 'murican

>>17718105
In what way? And how does it invalidate other modifications?

They don't matter. They make money for people with large CNC turning and milling centers, thereby keeping machine shops employed.

If niggers want to buy delicate shit, good. That brings back their gibs into the economy and most machinists are white.

All they really do is fuck up outboard front wheel bearings. Of course they handle like ass but it's not a problem for anyone but the shitskin owner and it encourages them to drive slower for easier arrest.

>>17717824
Has more to do with politics and grey market circumventing dealerships.

But it's ok we know you tried with this post I give it a 5/10

>>17718133
And add weight to steering systems, blowing lines and pumps.
And add unsprung weight to the entire suspension system resulting in all components failing, including ball joints, tie rods, and even breaking A arms.

>>17714282
I don't know as far safe but it gay as shit. And here in America we have equal rights so it constitutionally legal to drive gay cars.

>reminder the R34 is one of the worst in racing pedigree and other various shit
>reminder that the R32's racing pedigree is littered in cheating and basically invalidates everything they "achieved" in bong land
