don't rides without hubcaps look stupid?
i can't stand cars that don't have hubcaps on their front tires. do they think they're cool racers since they don't have caps on the front. do they get more horsepower without the hubcaps or something?

me personally it's either all hubcaps off or hubcaps on!! i hate it when people go out and buy chrome hubcaps though!! LMAO i mean why waste 50 bux on some more plastic fawk that!!
are you talking wheels on the back and hubcaps (steelies) on the front?
cuz if that were the case it could be 2 things:
1. Rice
2. Going or just left the track and didnt want to mess up aftermarket tires, damage rims, or give a slight weight reduction..

Oh so true. But yeah, maybe some peoples cant afford them or they damaged them or just left the track. You never know cuz one day that might happen to you and somebody will say "Look at the Fjckin ricer with his steelies on. Does he think hes cool?"

Rep Power: 511 lol hubcap spinners are PIMP. ya i dont really like how it looks either when people take the caps off and just use then hubs. but i have to admit that when i go to the 1/4 mile track around here i put my hubs back on in the front and leave the rims in the rear. i just dont want to ruin the tread on my new rims and it is fun to smoke the hubs in the burnout box.

Rep Power: 0 I kinda like the way a black car with black steelies looks as long as its clean. The car looks a little stealthy. I bought some OEM powdercoated back steelies for the winter and I think they look fine. I hate hubcaps personaly. Bare rims for me weither its aluminum or steel.

Rep Power: 338 I honestly cant stand the steel wheel look, unless youre on the strip. Not to be evil or anything, but I wonder if those hubcap Spreewells will break if I kicked em. 
haha... And the pothole thing, SO true, especially on them old cars.... shouldnt happen to our cars though b/c our hubs are bolted on. But 1 time I was entering the highway and this hub cap is rolling down the middle lane going faster than I was, I was crackin up big time!!!

Rep Power: 0 gawd i hate it when people put rims on the rear tires but hubs in the front, its fugly. even just running on stealies gets kind of annoying but on the other hand, riding on hubcaps makes your car look kind of cheap IMO.
thats why im waiting for my rims before i drop my car.

Rep Power: 0 i have steelies on the front w/o caps and rims on the back. i busted the 2 front rims and don't have the $$$ for 2 new Nakayamas right now. I dont think its rice to have no hubcaps... but to each his own!
this kid who goes to my college has a mid 90s integra with 18 chromies in the back and hub caps in the front. he graduated HS with me and i remember him having the same thing in the beggingin of 12th grade. i thought he was saving up money for the other 2 rims... guess not

sorry bro but i was being sarcastic
im the stupid one, when i was getting into modding and i couldn't afford some rims, i was too lazy to take the hubcaps off cuz i've never changed a tire nad i actually went to pep boys and got them to take them off for me for 10 bucks, lmao! thats when i was all ricey with a aluminum wing and tails and all that stuff. now its notthat way tho.
