Yeah, GNP. As in we got the GNP edition G-500.

GNP. Ghetto Neighborhood Package.

It's an aftermarket option, usually, LOL!

To determine if you should install those wheels on your automobile, simply answer the following questions:

1) Are you da man with that dance?

2) Do you kick the khakis from your pants?

3) Do you keep the low-low in a three wheel stance?

4) Do you still rock the gin 'n juice in hand?

If you answered "Yes" to all four of those questions, those wheels are for you.
