Few cars manage to turn heads and captivate passers-by quite like a donk. Thanks to its big body and even bigger wheels, a donk definitely stands out from just about everything else on the road. Aside from the ever-essential custom donk lift kit, customization plays a big role in turning an ordinary sedan or coupe into a bonafide donk -- after all, each donk is meant to be an individual reflection of the owner’s tastes and artistic vision.

There are many misconceptions about lift kits. Some people say they are too expensive to purchase and install. However, lift kits, even custom lift kits, are surprisingly affordable. Another alleged issue that detractors of lift kits frequently cite is the idea that installing a lift kit will ruin the ride of your car. This is not the case if the right lift kit is used and the kit is installed properly. Finally, many people say there's no benefit to be gained from installing a lift kit. However, this is not the case. A properly installed lift kit can dramatically increase ground clearance. If you live in the area with rough roads, or if you go off-roading, frequently this increased ground clearance can be very useful.

When it comes to donk wheels, many fans believe that bigger is better. But going big can also bring about some unexpected consequences.

When you hear the term “donk,” chances are your mind brings up images of older custom cars outfitted with a lift kit, uniquely fresh paint, custom interior and those quintessential large custom wheels. These days, the term is used to describe just about any lifted car with large alloy wheels -- and there are plenty of examples of the newest and latest vehicles receiving the donk car treatment.

What do you think of when you see a Donk driving down the street? Do you think, man that car looks sick, or do you think it looks goofy? How much $$$ did it cost? Is it hard to drive? What kind of car is that? How long did that take them to do? How does he keep it is such great shape? “Probably goes to the carwash was everyday!”

It’s not just the lift kit that makes a great donk -- you’ve gotta have the custom wheels to match. When you get your hands on a spectacular set of custom alloys, you’ll want to keep them looking their best no matter what the open road throws at it. Curbs and potholes aren’t the only thing to worry about when it comes to taking care of your alloy wheels. There’s also the issue of brake dust -- the grayish-black dust-like residue that slowly builds up on your wheels over time.

When it comes to creating a donk car, image is everything. Donk owners pride themselves on making sure every square inch of their rides are kept pristine. It’s all part of the evolution from a down-on-its-luck beater to something that could be called a true work of art. The amount of care and attention given to a donk car can be seen in every aspect of the vehicle, all the way down to the wheels.

The term Donk used to refer to solely to a highly customized Mid-70s Chevrolet Impala and then any American-made full-size car from that period. But nowadays, any car on large custom wheels falls into the “Donk” category.
