I've seen a set of chrome rims chained up to the fence outside a run down Mexican's house like it was their prized possession. Not even to the tree in the yard, or the back yard, but of course up front and laid face out on the outside so they were visible from the street. Shitty house, no car to even put those rims on, but hey he's baller cuz he has them dubs dawg!

No. They are retarded as hell, but it's no different from banning tint, wheels, exhaust, spoilers, engine swaps, or anything else people want to do with their own vehicles that does not physically affect another person. Private property > *
Same goes for ricers, it's their vehicle, they can do whatever they want with it (and of course be bent over and prosecuted when something falls off and damages another vehicle).
I actually miss rice... seriously it was all over the place before I had my Cobra. Last couple years have been scarce. Was good laughs back in the day and I miss pulling into Taco Bell and there being like a dozen ricers hanging out in the parking lot.

Yeah i don't really mean legislation, but truck nuts need to go. That's why i hate the jacked up truck with HIDs and no projectors. Do what you want to your car, but when it compromises everyone else on the road, then it's a danger and needs to be removed.

Well, with the first ones, they're distracting as hell and the majority of people just get the bulbs and lack the projectors so the light just gets even more annoying.
With the second one, please explain to me why some 18-22 year old kid needs to be driving a 40k+ luxury SUV that serves little to no purpose. Never saw the point of parents buying little susie/johnny a luxury vehicle because they want one. Drivings a privilege, not a right.

Because having some beat ass Honda in their driveway doesn't add curb appeal.
To many a $40k car is something for their kids first.
In my high school class most of the kids got brand new cars, usually 3 series BMW's, Mustang GT's and IROC's, back in 1988/89.

Loud "mufflers."
Stupid stickers for companies. (Making you a tool)
HIDs in incorrect housing.
Incorrect emblems for car.
And although this isn't a douchebag mod... the one thing that annoys me and makes me go WTF the most... V6 hybrids. You know you've seen one. Someone decides, "Hey, I'm gonna get a V6 instead of the i4, but make it a hybrid too."
That's about the most annoying things to me. Everything else is alright if the person doesn't drive like a douche.

It was probably a bad picture to post. That Silvia is really just an example of what "hellaflush" is, but it's not the ugliest car I've seen. Hellaflush Civics/Cavaliers/etc. are much more annoying and they usually have other poorly done mods that detract from the overall look. Not to mention they are not cars that should have tons of mods in the first place.
Yeah, again, the camber on that car I posted isn't bad. Sometimes it does get extreme. Look up "VIP Style" on Google Images if you haven't seen those before. Of course that's just for looks but it must do awful things to your tires.
And when I said "bottoming out" I really meant the tires are probably rubbing against the wheel arches because they've been moved out too much. I had wheels with too low an offset on my car for a while and it caused the tires to scrape the inside of the wheel wells when I went over large bumps with weight in the back. Went back to stock wheels and haven't had a problem since.
It's hard to find wheels with enough offset for my car. I'd rather have boring stock wheels than aftermarket ones that rub, even occasionally.

They have it tilted even to where only some of the tread hits the ground? So the wheel is falling inward?
It looks like it isn't even touch the ground except for the far area close to the car.

They don't drive it that low unless they're retarded. They only go that low for show. If you've ever lifted your car off the ground, you've seen the wheels turn in-ward. This is the opposite.
That is quintessential hellaflush stupidness. They run insane offsets and spacers, stretch the tire on the wheel that's way too big for it, and then bring the top of the wheel in with ludicrous amounts of camber.
Stretched tire:
