The fact that you directly correlate this issue means that it's a reasonable stereotype. You made the connection yourself with absolutely NO EVIDENCE pointing towards it. Where in there did they mention anything about drugs?
I personally think that type of car (or truck) is an eyesore and it dramatically reduces the efficiency of the car when oversizing stock wheels in excess of 3-4"'s.
There are several issues at hand. Those wheels weigh on average above 10-30lbs (ranging from 20" to 24") HEAVIER than stock counterparts in your average midsize car. Due to the larger weight & width of these oversize wheels you now have incorrect speedometers which poses a safety hazard in addition to brakes having to do extra work to slow the car down. Not to mention the reduced acceleration/efficiency as a result of the oversized wheels.
This also applies to ridiculously lifted vehicles with ridiculously large off-road wheels.
