Anyone see the show Overhaulin', Foose did a lot of really cool car builds on that. He also has a few custom builds that have won prestigious awards, such as The Riddler Award.
Foose wheels are very good looking and can go on many different types of cars. I have a set of 16 inch wheels on my 66 Stang that are awesome. And there is nothing wrong with 20's if done right!

I loved overhaulin I had a feeling when they started letting the marks know about the build that the show was on its last leg.. I still wear the shirt under my work uniform, even though its totally worn and tattered...

I met him in my earlier days as a bartender in Vegas. One of the coolest guys /celebs I got to meet. Your post made me chuckle!

Don't get me wrong, I like Xzibit's style on the cars he does, and I like Foose's style on the cars he does, but I do not like Xzibit's style on the cars Foose does. It's not something that should be mix 'n matched.

Did I miss something here?Xzibit is a tv host,he doesn't design anything.He was 16yrs old when Foose started designing at Boyds.Even if he did design,I highly doubt Foose would have to channel anything from him,most likely the other way around.

Xzibit is also a rapper, I guess his influence (if you can call it that) in cars came from the MTV show Pimp My Ride. Most of the work for that show was done by the guys at West Coast Customs who now have their own show.

Now, they've also got a 69 Boss 302 and a clone 428 4-gear 69 Mach that I'd take in a heartbeat over this Foose junker even if it does have a monster motor...
