Default O/T Gimmi a break...

Was in the parts store the other day and I saw these cheapo snazzy hubcaps that are oversized. They snap onto a 15" wheel and make it look like you have 17" wheels. No bull, they overlap onto the sidewall of the tire. They come for 13" to 15" , 14" to 16" and 15" to 17". Man im gonna run out and grab some of them right now. Yeah right!!!!

:crazy: :lol: :rolleyes:

Well, the only reason they sell them is because there are some dumb people who buy them. There is no accounting for taste.

What happens when you take a corner hard and the tire heels over. Oh yeah, never mind. I forgot they're for Hon Duhs. :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:

taste is everything. It almost sounds like the r.......word. Please don't do it. Besides, it's Friday nite, and everything will look clearer in the morning. :cheers:

gimmi a break, part deux. i was driving down a local road when i noticed this guy getting out of his car while it appeared to be moving. as i passed i noticed the car was indeed parked, however, he had some type of cap that had an external hub with simulated spokes that continued to spin on their own bearing (presumably) with residual momentum. :rolleyes:

One of the guys I work with was telling me about seeing these. Anything to get some money out of us. :rolleyes:
