Volk GT-7 wheels are very nice, it's that reddish color that makes them look bad.

I'm not a fan of the red, but those things are HOT!

rat rods have been around for a long time.Some are nice looking that have alot of custom parts made for them.
If any one wants to build a ratrod I have one for sale 1931 chevy 2 door country sedan

Ok, maybe it has a little to do with the color. Still, they aren't very interesting to me.

I would not even consider that a rat rod.

Never seen a rat rod with: 4 doors, comfortable space for 4 adults, 6 gears, reliability, turbocharger, is brand new, all wheel drive, and fuel injection.

Just does not seem right to me.

Yeah, arn't rat rods supose to be an old beater someone sunk money into to go fast but not spend the time to always make it look nice, or reliable?

In that case, wouldn't a DSM be a rat rod?

yeah I thought rat rods are stuff you kind of just put together with spare parts that you have in your garage...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_rod

Or here is the wiki term for it.

I think the Evo is a rat rod wantabe but I think what is a better deffinition is a 1G DSM with a dirty engine bay but big turbo, interior stripped out, loud exhaust probably from an exhaust pipe out the side, clear coat faded off, some sort of wire and zipties holding it together...and this could go on...

I kind of wanted to put together a photo book of cars like that with imports and domestics.
