probably have to mount the rim halves into the tire and then bolt it together.

I assume these are reverse mount..have to put face of the wheel down on the wheels clamps though...that can pucker the old bum...one slip while clamped and game over...

I don't care for the look.

That's called pro-street. It's still a thing.

I like the car, but don't like the wheels.. just my .02 worth.

Maybe it was already pro-street tubbed,then he decided to try the pro-tour look and take the MT wrinkle walls off.

Or he's from Oakland. Lots of cars like that there.

They would need to have at least 28in rims to be considered a true Oakland 'whip' like this one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cd66Mx7m6NU/maxresdefault.jpg

PS: I live in Oakland and only have 18's on my '68, so I guess I don't have any street cred.

I thought calling it pro-street was enough of an insult. Now you guys are calling the poor car a donk. Street cred is so overrated . . .

If you want to get any attention with a 69 Camaro, sometimes requires extreme measures. Not my cup of tea, but I think it's nicely done.

I still see cars frequently built like this in Australia, It's not my cup of tea but like everyone said, it's fixable. the dish is one thing, but the over-staggered appearance is what gets to me

I would call that "Pro-Donk", or "Faux-Touring". To me, Pro-Touring is more about performance than bling. That car screams bling and I doubt it would handle or brake well. But to each his own.
