Definitions
1
The defining wheel of a Houston slab — 30-spoke wire wheels with long pointed hubs that jut horizontally out from the car, sometimes six or more inches past the bodywork. Originally fitted to '83 and '84 Cadillac Eldorados, now custom-made and known as 84s, swangas, or elbows. They're the loudest visual cue that a car is a real slab.
“Brand new swangas on the Lincoln, sticking out so far you can't park next to him.”
