wait, wait, wait.. lemme get this straight.. you paid someone to take your hubcaps off...? i kinda understand since you never changed a tire before, but you actually paid for it? shoulda gotten a neighbor or someone to take 'em off for free... geesh..

lol, j/p man..

the funny thing i've seen is a carload of guys in a ricer with two rims and two steelies trying to holler at some girls at a nightclub parking lot. One of the girls made them feel lame. She said "what's wrong with your car, do you think that looks cool or something?"

I'd slap on my steelies when I had 17's....I didnt' want to mess up my tires, plus I would
get a ton of wheel hop launching at 2,800 rpm...also my 1/4 mile times slowed down 1/2 second
with the 17"s...now I am getting rotas put on and get rid of my crappy steelies. I have
burned the stock firestones down past the wear bar....I get third gear scratch in them and am
slipping the 60 ft big time....can't wait for my kumhos!!!!!!


These are some dope *** Hubcap spinners

I wish my car was more rice so I could afford some for the front two stock steelies

It's hella ghetto to take off your hubbies. You are going to save like 5 ounces? hahha

Painting your hubcaps might be fine if that's all you can do, but I'd rather leave them stock if I didnt have rims.
But then again, I have rims...so bleh...

Did anyone used to paint their hubcaps WHITE like 5 years ago? lol that was the "in" thing i used to see on hondas. That was kinda ghetto, now i guess it's about painting it BLACK?? hehe. I'd rather leave my hubcaps alone.

i agree that riding without hubs may look stupid, but only if the person has three rims on the three of the wheels and a hub on the last wheel..

Agreed. I'm particularly irked by "their"/"they're"/"there". It's one thing to type all gangsta but that's just plain retarded (NOT spelled "retarted" or "retorted" (which is a whole other word). Gaaaahhhhhh!!! Learn to spell!
Sometimes I think "maybe they just haven't learned proper English". Which leads me to wonder what state North America's educational systems are in. Oh man...

well originally i was going to get some black rims. and i wanted to see how the black theme would work out. but... i got some tickets and had to pay some bills and i couldnt buy the rims. soo im stuck with them. i knida like how they look. i did a pretty good job painting them. sanded a little and primed. the paint is not fading at all and still looks good as the day i painted it.
plus it hides the brake dust.

so to you hondanation

Ricers are the ones you see riding around town on a daily basis on their black steelies, but not every person you see with steelies on the front is a ricer. Usually when I'm planning to go to the track I will throw my steelies on the front a day ahead of time or the same day even. This is for the track obviously...yes the steelies are much lighter than your 17's or 18's and I personally dont want to be layin my 17 inch rubber down at the drag strip. For some people wearing the steelies is for a purpose, for others they are hoping to achieve a style or status and are being unsuccessful and not realizing it.

The vtec hubcaps look nice. thats my opinion, they look way better than DX, LX hubcaps.

I have SI cause of the weight, i had 17'' momo GT2 they look very nice but my car was going to slow.

Think those spinning hubs will fit on an alloy wheel? I think I might want one to cover my one scratched wheel. That'd be tite yo.
