    This isn't Maverick related but I thought it was interesting. I took a short cut through a residential neighborhood on my way to a customers office today and happened upon this sitting in somebody's driveway. Theres some cars with pretty big wheels rolling around Panama City, but this one takes the cake!:bowdown:
    Do you think I could get a set of these under my Maverick (lol)?

    They are commonly reffered to as DONKs and yes there are pics of one of those on the MMB around here somewhere.

    We even have a few of those here in our small Nebraska town. They are even uglier than the tiny wheels..

    I wonder how it would brake? Once you got those wheels rolling, a small set of factory brakes would have a hell of a time slowing everything down.
