Cruisin’ On My 30″ Clears!
Posted by: Young World Traveler |
My boy Karl Krantz in Miami puts together some sick hi-risers, but his latest creation may take the proverbial cake! What happens when you put a 20" lift on a kandy orange ‘85 Chevy Caprice? You get the Garfield Box.
It stands six and a half feet tall, but the most eye catching part of Karl’s ride are the $30k+ clear treys from DUB (MHT Wheels). These rims are so outlandish they make the car look like a cartoon, but they do a stunning job of framing the views of South Beach! Check out the video of him doing a burnout! |

Hmm.. let’s see here, looks like 99% of the people say it’s stupid, so i’m going to have to say that is a pretty good indication of the public consensus. So if that turd pulled up next to pretty much anything else on the road the only reason people are going to look at it is because the’re trying to figure out WTF it is and why the guy did that to the car. Kinda like people staring at a car wreck.

Now I’ve seen a few donks and my question is, why are they all themed after a cartoon, candy, some other stupid thing? Like the Lucky Charms donk, the Nerds donk, and now Garfield?? What the hell is next, a Tampax Donk?? Pepto-Bismol Donk? oh, looks like I just gave out a few stupid ideas!! Throw a match in that ridiculous piece of garbage!!

I bet they cost half as much as chrome to make, just go to home depo and buy you a large plastic brick, a dremel. Now we only need to get really custom by using COLORED plastic, and while your at that, how bout red colored tires that smell like grilled steak when you burn out…..yeah

You’d think he’d at least use a pic that didn’t show the passenger side wheels… since they aren’t clear and all.

man people hate big wheels more than the war in iraq. let me help him out. thats his style, its what he likes to do. why are you people so mad about it. he puts tons of work into it and you put it down. im not a nice person by anymeans, but i also wouldnt hate somebody’s style, i hope soon somebody does 48″ inch wheels so everyone has something to complain about. word of advice, dont be to concerned about everyone else.

Yo, rotational inertia guy. Those wheels have the same rotational inertia as smaller ones because they are spinning more slowly. They probably weigh less than chrome wheels too. Whadatah

What a hideous looking beast. I’d be embarrassed to be seen in the same parking lot as that fugly thing.
$30K per wheel? That’s where two fools met. One fool for making them, and the other fool for buying them.

Just as much as you guys have every right to like them, I have every right to hate those ugly ass things. So when some asshole comes to demanding I be respectful, p.i.s.s t.h.e. f.u.c.k o.f.f.
I also love feeling like I am back in the lame-ass 80’s with the vibrant orange. Someday, you’ll be looking back at this laughing, wondering just what in the hell you were thinking, just like most people did at the 80’s.

sorry i meant spend some cash on brakes not on wheels alone.
John
Mar 9, 2007 at 2:54 pm
I love the engineering and fabrication that goes into these, but why do they spend $30k on wheels and tires and then have those tiny brakes to stop it? Spend some of the cash on some wheels so you can stop the car now. anyone ever heard of a little thing called rotational inertia?

I really get tired of all the bashing that these lifted cars get. Excuse a person for wanting his ride to look different from everybody else. Its not exactly my preferred style but I think its cool and something new. Maybe some people want a different look and are tired of seeing the same old Cragars or Torq-thrust wheels and a 1-2″ suspension drop on the older V8 cars. Its cool not to like it, but don’t act like your car is the template for all others to follow.

Thats Pimpin! Nice, Man! All the people saying they don’t like it are a bunch of haters. Those rims cost more than their whole ride + their girl riding in the passenger seat. Keep doin’ your thing man!

Those rims would look AWESOME on a monster truck, stupid on that car, but I would LOVE to see Bigfoot rolling on some clear rims! Don’t know why anyone would want to jack up a car like that is beyond me, but the concept of clear rims is a pretty cool one!

Ya, I’ll bet he’s a millionaire living in a “fast ass mansion”. And two things, his shitbox is sponsored so it doesnt matter how much money he had, he didnt use it. And second off, if he DID pay for them, and they are “30 large”…you really mean 15 large, because his ghetto ass only bought 2 of them. Oops, I guess he thought we couldnt see the other two rims that weren’t “super pimpin since pimpin was pimpin playah.”
What a joke.

Guys, please be respectful! Everybody loves all cars types here, so please show some respect for somebody who put a lot of work, sweat and time into their whip. It is not easy to build a car like this and it requires a lot of custom work.
Karl’s rims are sponsored, so he did not pay for the wheels. The car has also been displayed at SEMA, a place many of us wish our cars would even make it out on the walkway outside the halls!
Just think how much fun it would be to cruise with your friends down South Beach in the Garfield Box for a day. Don’t hate the hi-riser culture.

If you wanted a truck, you should have bought a truck…. ????? He may have the money but he don’t have any taste..

I think it’s silly that with the big clear wheels, and able to see anything under the car, he’s got DRUM brakes on the rear. I’d think he’d do at least some shiny disk brakes with some brightly colored calipers or somethign.
Other than those wheels, that car isn’t that spectacular.
I mean, it’s got a shiny paint job and really fancy wheels, but not much else… If you’re going to go so far on the wheels, why not get the car looking a bit nicer than just a monster truck with low profile tires.

If he could afford 30k wheels, he should atleast put some more detail to the brakes,suspension, and chassis. Put some paint, chrome, gold, big brake kit for those big wheels.
