I know pro touring has been around for some time now. I was wondering if there are guys/girls who are pro cruising.
Pro touring put those huge wheels and tires on with sidewalls that are 2" and then think they are Dale Jr and can road race cause they have low profile tires. What they find out is that if the chassis is stock and you thrash with cornering tactics like a road racer,what happens is premature bushing failures.
I do not put down what someone likes or dislikes. I personally do not like to see 18,19,20' rims on older muscle cars or street rods, but that's me. They were not built with large rims from the factory. I have never been one to follow trends and since the show Overhaulin everyone thinks Foose is the god of big wheels. If he puts them on a car then that's what is cool.
I put 15" rims on my 50 wagon cause they look good and if I hit a pothole, I won't break a rim. I have talked to guys at shows who bitch about a cracked or broken 19 or 20"rim on their 67 Camaro or 65 Mustang cause they hit a small hole in the road.
I don't know about other states but here in Pa, we have potholes.
Ok enough rant about big rims..........I think pro-cruising should be a tab given to guy/girls who like 15" rims cause they ride nicer and you can hit a hole without destroying an expensive rim.
I guess I'm just old school but also give the right to everyone to choose what they like.
