If you guys think those are bad you should see this CTS that a dealer has down here. It's got gold wheels with whitewalls, gold trim, and a custom convertible softop. It would actually look kind of cool if it wasn't for the gold and the wheels.
Cars like these give old guys (like me) a bad rep.

haha, oh yeah baby, right on top. kind of like a bad hairpiece.

as for being taken off, dunno what damage was done underneath!

Now THAT'S disgusting. A SGM-colored LS with untinted windows and factory rims? These people are almost as bad as the ricers.
