I was rendered speechless. Could this possibly pass state inspection? We need a TUV if it is permitted.

Apparently there is room for more adjustment.

I'm a lover of all things automotive but this passion somehow alludes me. Anyone care to explain?
Yeah sure, I'd've gone more.
I want to see it done with 31 inch wire wheels on an Escalade, with air bags and 150,000 watts of gangsta rap and iced flame paint and Elvis black velvet interior and blue neon lights everywhere.

I think those Kaido Racer street rods have a certain far-out charm about them. Street racers, re-interpreted for video games, then re-interpreted as street rods. Appropriately meta for the twenty-first century.

Ridicurous, but fun as hell to look at. Some of the work is just so extraordinarily cheesy.

It's a little bit Wacky Races, and a little bit this:

Well, there is the Milliken MX1. Interesting idea by a very smart guy, though it was (EDIT) more a tire engineering exercise, not a practical application for race cars.

This was one of the first pics I ever saw of "VIP" Japanese style... the guy probably dropped serious coin on the tag, too.

Japanese car customization is out there, but the roots of bosozuko were/are teen biker gangs; the word literally means "violent running tribe". Sorta reminiscent of '60s British mods, just google images of "mods & rockers" for a trip down memory lane. Japanese youth have included some very retro rocker elements: huge pompadours, black leather & denim, pointy boots. Everything is exaggerated and extreme, an overt rejection of authority in such a structured society. Back to the car customs, here's a site I found a couple of years ago while looking for this stuff... yeah, Japan is weird. But some impressive visual arts originate there.

How about Southern Donks? The fetish of huge wheels, brand logos and colors escapes me. I see one or two nearly every day in traffic.
