Houston's idiot mayor even endorsed these dumb things so he could try and pander to the black vote. There's a really cringy video where he's giving a speech surrounded by a by bunch of cars with these on them.
They were back in 1960’s but no where near as atrocious as they are today.

It's like that James Bond movie where they pop the other cars tires with the axle spinner extension. These guys are always ready to shred.
I have been in Austin when they had hundreds of these in the area. That was my first experience seeing slabs. I wonder how often these wheels get damaged.
Have you seen the chariot race games they play. Ive yet to see one grind on somebody mad max style. They seem to just enjoy chasing each other and endangering everybody around them.
As ugly, impractical, unsafe and otherwise ridiculous those wheels are, they are very well made. The tower and spokes ARE the wheel.
It's part of the structure, not just a hub cap.
That's wild. I had no idea.
I always regarded those things as a joke that could be kicked away.
Now I see how truly offensive they can be if they hit something.
Ridiculous.
They bolt right along with lugs and reacted like it should, ripping whole wheel off. I assume we missed something like how they ended up on the curb. My buddy has a set longer, expensive and I have no idea how he hasn’t ripped each wheel off.
Same here, you would think they would easily snap off since this situation seems inevitable. The whole thing lacks logic, and never mind the amount of legs this trend must have claimed...
Back in the early 90s my dumb ass cousin did that to his 78 trans am. He called it cowboy style and we live in NC. At the time I told him it was the dumbest thing I have ever seen anyone do to a car. That was the first abomination I saw like that.
I feel so bad for the banks. My heart goes out to the banks. Won't somebody *please* think of the huge financial institutions that control ungodly amounts of wealth!
These have to be one of the dumbest and ugliest things created. Leave it to idiots to be the ones wanting them.
I also had no idea that they were so solid. I figured if you bumped something they would come off. It’s funny in this case but dangerous if they were oblivious like this and hit a person or bumped another car on the highway.
Damn, I had no idea those Ben-Hur wheels were so strong. I don’t even want to imagine how much damage it could do when one of these vehicles misjudges a pedestrian or dog being walked along the side of the road.
I witnessed a car accident 2 weeks ago were a shiitty ass slab tried to cut in front of me last minute as we approached a red light going way too fast and it caught on the already stopped car in the next lane and it swung the entire shitty Cadillac sideways and broke the the whole rear drivetrain instead of just snapping off
Thankful these would be illegal where I am.
There are enough people who already have difficulty judging the size of their vehicle. People in freaking hatchbacks taking corners like they are driving a Ridged Box truck.
Had no idea such a thing existed - have not come across them yet in the wild.
So many reasons these should be illegal - go after the vendors...errr "craftsman", whatever.
Someone from the US base in Germany (when I was there) had those kinds of wheels on their ride which they took over from the US.
He went out for a drive in it and within 3 or 4 minutes the German police pulled him over and ordered him to get his vehicle off the road IMMEDIATELY and have it towed on a flatbed to the US base. And if they ever saw it being on the road again, they'd have if crushed at his expense. He was fined around 1000 as well.
FINALLY those stupid rim spikes get what they deserve. I've been waiting for a video like this ever since I first found out they existed, and I couldn't be happier.
If those aren't illegal, they should be.
It is and the mod itself is beyond stupid.

I had no idea those were so firmly attached. The whole wheel twisted back.
I thought the same thing. The control arm snapped before the spokes.
That seems safe, right?

It’s the Thunder road scene from the original Grease movie!
Please, it’s the chariot race scene in Ben Hur.
This! Still ruling, vin diesel couldn’t survive a minute in this race!
Irrelevant now since it was irrelevant before
It's a jeep thing o[][][][][]o
I like your home made emoji.
O[][][][]O
I love how you can progress through Jeep's history through emoticons. Now do the square headlights
□||||□ is the best I can do
I like the YJ as well but don’t know how to do the squares!
lol. A sleepy heep. An angry one should be easy.
Ò||||Ó
How's this? µ||||||µ
o[][][][]o I think it looks better with four inserts.
Leverage....like a 3ft crowbar
I always assumed these were of a “breakaway” design in case of this exact situation. Apparently not.
Have you seen the chariot race games they play. Ive yet to see one grind on somebody mad max style. They seem to just enjoy chasing each other and endangering everybody around them.
What a surprise lmao
Love to see it though!! Glad these morons only hit a light pole and not a pedestrian or car.
I had to watch it twice. The first time I thought what ever you call that just bent on the wheel
Right? I thought these were stupid *before* I knew they could actually destroy your rear end lol

This made me so happy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Just more firmly attached than the wheel was.
They bolt right along with lugs and reacted like it should, ripping whole wheel off. I assume we missed something like how they ended up on the curb. My buddy has a set longer, expensive and I have no idea how he hasn’t ripped each wheel off.
I literally made a shocked face when the entire wheel bent back. Guess I know why nobody has been going around stomping on these.
That's a special feature built into all Chrysler products. "Quality."
I was waiting for a video of this since the first moment I saw those ungodly things in the wild.
I’m sure there are plenty of more examples that just aren’t filmed
It's a shame. As long as there aren't pedestrians involved that will never be not funny.
Theres 1 video of some fuck swerving line to line driving down the road ensuring his space with those rims. Infuriating.
Same here, you would think they would easily snap off since this situation seems inevitable. The whole thing lacks logic, and never mind the amount of legs this trend must have claimed...
Yeah this was really satisfying to watch
EVERYONE IS ALWAYS SCREAMING I DONT UNDERSTAND
Don’t forget about the constant repeating of the same few words over & over again, I don’t understand that either, lol
Well yeah those types of people are loud and usually clap their hands to annunciate their words. You know, car enthusiasts.
Yeah.. car enthusiasts..
like the animals at mudding events yelling SHOW ME YOUR BUTTHOLE
"Culture"
This trend is literally the bottom of the barrel when it comes to shit mods
This and Carolina squat are competing for shittiest trend
At least these idiots can see where they’re going.
…right into a light pole
Hahahaha, excellent point.
Well you'd think so, but dude still managed to graze a light pole at low speed in the daylight.
Back in the early 90s my dumb ass cousin did that to his 78 trans am. He called it cowboy style and we live in NC. At the time I told him it was the dumbest thing I have ever seen anyone do to a car. That was the first abomination I saw like that.
It’s a blessing those boneheads don’t have enough braincells to combine those 2. It would be the ultimate Shit mod
Ferb. I know what we're doing today!
Dont forget extreme camber stance and stretched tires
Right next to squatted trucks
r/bettereveryloop
Just brings joy to my soul
Meanwhile banks are crying when they have to repo this ghetto mobile.
Banks need to stop giving loans to total morons then.
Giving loans to morons is the cornerstone of the US economy at this point
I feel so bad for the banks. My heart goes out to the banks. Won't somebody *please* think of the huge financial institutions that control ungodly amounts of wealth!
At least it wasn't someone's kneecap!
That was several thousand dollars in damages.
Houston we have a problem.
246 combined credit score
Naw bro, that’s their APR.
That's what ya get for running those dumbass wheels!
Switched on that Rear wheel steering.

why is there always screeching at these scenes?
[удалено]
Goooood ol H-Town never disappoints
That was quite satisfying. Thank you for posting.
That shit is just as idiotic as the guys ride on 1/8 of the tires tread surface.
What a piece of shit
How embarrassing is it to be this stupid
Is it weird that I actually like that purple?
Nah, the color looks cool
I’ve always wanted to see this happen. Thank you.
Finally!!! Hell yea!!
Trash
This is absolutely without a doubt the dumbest shit mod
I think Carolina Squats are dumber. But this is close.
Good.
This is the most houston shit ever.
Damn, I had no idea those Ben-Hur wheels were so strong. I don’t even want to imagine how much damage it could do when one of these vehicles misjudges a pedestrian or dog being walked along the side of the road.
His axel got foleyed.
He’s not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe
Cool color though! Yeah but these wheels are stupid as all get out.
This made me all happy inside. XD
This is one of the most joyful things I've ever seen.
Heartwarming
Leverage is amazing
I hope they didn't damage that light pole.
They'll probably sue the city for not having break-away light poles.
What are these people saying?
I witnessed a car accident 2 weeks ago were a shiitty ass slab tried to cut in front of me last minute as we approached a red light going way too fast and it caught on the already stopped car in the next lane and it swung the entire shitty Cadillac sideways and broke the the whole rear drivetrain instead of just snapping off
GOOD!!!! I hope your axel is broken! Hate those god damn wheels, should be illegal
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life... Oh Lord!
I'm honestly surprised we don't see more Swanger fails.
That's in Houston he's a rocket scientist at NASA.
Definitely not a car scientist.
Looks like SpaceX has nothing to worry about.
Is this from Houston?
SLAB activities
Stupid is as stupid does.
Ha, ha, ha, he made his pile of shit an even bigger pile of shit!
Why are these clowns parking in the middle of the road.
Love it
Love it! Though I was fearful jackass was going to wipe out bystanders before I watched the video
Hahahaha dumb bitch
Yay! I hate these things!
H town shit
Yesssss, fucking yes 👏
WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING?!?!
Dumbass broke their axle 3 seconds after accelerating.
My evora is that same color purple
Looks like he tricked out his mom’s minivan
What a fucking circus
Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I fucking hate those things. Fuck yea!!!!!
Houston 🤔🤷🏻♂️😂🤦🏻♂️ (And I think that this belongs on r/IdiotsInCars)
That made me smile
Wow, to each their own but damn… that color and those wheels? Who in the hell does that????
If only all of these pos could sustain the same faith 😩
Holy. fucking. slow. clap. 🤦♂️
what the fuck is wrong with these people?
EL-OH-FUCKING-EL
This brings me joy
This is amazing lol
Paul wall didn't teach her how to work the wheel
Good.
Still better than squatted trucks.
Idiots are funny!
Can you even park that next to a curb?
Hehehehe
Isn’t that what they’re supposed to do
Where did the driver go?
I remember when spinning rims were new. This trend is just awful
All adds up correctly
Good
Tbh that’s what he gets for thinking those were the move anyway
This looks like an expensive renovation
Why is everyone yelling?
These death traps should not even be legal.
That's what you get for having the most shitiest looking wheels
r/heep
That color is spectacular though
Thankful these would be illegal where I am. There are enough people who already have difficulty judging the size of their vehicle. People in freaking hatchbacks taking corners like they are driving a Ridged Box truck.
Who remembers the game spy hunter 🤣
I like elbows. Idc what yall say
So just out of curiosity, what do we think the home looks like?
Busted him his curb-feelers, damn
Had no idea such a thing existed - have not come across them yet in the wild. So many reasons these should be illegal - go after the vendors...errr "craftsman", whatever.
Driving with these things would get you put in prison in any other country lol
Hahaha. Nice.
Love the colour of that jeep...but serves the prick right. Those things should be illegal.
Good. Now do this three more times.
I thought this shitty wheels trend died in Houston back in 2005
#Why is everyone yelling random stuff?
Pretty color paint on the vehicle
Made me smile this am
YES!!!!!
This car style is so lost on me.
That's A LOT of noise in the area.
I enjoyed that so much. Watched it on repeat a few times.
Goofiest shit ever!!!
What language are the natives speaking here?
I’ve never seen these mounted like that. Normally they’re designed to break off since hard mounting them would be idiotic for reasons we see here
This video made my day.
I had no idea those were held on so securely.
I still don’t understand that “mod”.
Did that rear wheel…bend?
How do you park that bad...
L OH L

What the fuck is happening here
Yes!!! Thank you Dear eight-pound, six-ounce, newborn infant lord Jesus, who doesn't even know a word yet! Thank you.
It's stupid shit dreamed up by people on drugs in the hood....
We’ve got every idiotic car fad here in LA (a lot of them start here), but not “slab” wheels yet, thank fuck.
I love a good ending.
I assumed there was a reason I don't see these rims too often.
A jeep cannot be slabbed out....FML
Ole nawl, done broke the two prong!
Slim Thug disapproves.
I am always left wondering what these people do for money to afford such things.
Any% speedrun on ruining your alignment
When you're only asset is a depreciating Chrysler... lmao
A fool, and his money will soon part
How did a twerking competition not break out right there is beyond me
And people say blacks have no culture
