Car from the 1970's on DUBs or larger = "Donk"

 

Car from the 1980's on DUBs or larger = "Box" (which is what was racing in the video--notice the angular lines of the car)

 

Car from the 1990's or more recent on DUBs = "Bubble"

 

Car with more extreme rounded lines, especially in back = "Bubble Butt"

 

DUBs = 20" tall wheel. Which makes one wonder if 30" wheels are called "Donks." I think someone here should check out DONK, BOX & Bubble magazine at their local Kragen for the real answer :mrgreen:

 

This is my understanding of ghetto cool anyway. Perhaps one of our more cultured members can enlighten me if my understanding hath gone astray. I hope I got it right! Anyone know the year of the car in question?

1986 Buick Regal on 24's....not 30's.

I wonder if his upper control arm started tearing out of the frame yet...

What a stupid trend.

If you're gonna do it, do it right. Put that regal up on a K-blazer frame (4x4) and call it a day. Then when you pull the 24's off to clean 'em you can put the 35's back on and do some mudding too.

I'm so glad that's a southern thing...though those wheels wouldn't stand a chance on the roads of the NorthEast anyway.

 

Noooo, it's extremely prevalent here too. Quite painful, actually. I mean, when you see a 1970 Chevelle on DUBs it actually hurts.

 

Oh, and Terry: I'm glad I could put some useful education into your life :mrgreen:
