Some people care less and would rather spend it on their motor. So dont criticize people for doing there own thing

I guess if your that dumb and don't take the time to read what I posted carefully then you would misunderstand what I said. When did I say fast hatches are stupid because they ride steelies ,didn't think so. I said that if they had a fast car like the one here in AZ then I wouldn't shake my head because he is quick unlike most the ricerboy's out there on the road(meaning he's allowed to run steelies without getting dawged on for having them if you didn't quiet understand that either). Bottom line, your an idiot, and the guy has a fast hatch on steelies .

Yeah man were all idiots, we just wanna be cool with our black wheels.



I heard there are some good deals for losers like us


aznboysrfr says he can get si rims for $275, might wanna take him up on that offer.

and hondaSales can get 4 hubcaps for < = $20 yo yo got to take advantage of that.



Aznboysrfr I'll take you up on that offer for the 275$ for si rims. I read some threads and those are some very good rims. 12 pounds 15 by 6.5, light enkeis.

I actually like the way those caps look painted for your black civic. I know all about steelies though, I had them on my 84 Escort and I went ghetto and painted them from the silver to black then threw on some of those Kmart chrome looking ones.

yo got a good point, but man you have guys that complain about people with no hubcaps. And its getting annoying, you don't see me disrespecting all the dudes with 17, 18 or 19 on civics with tiny stock brakes highly visible through the big rims. I mean if were are going to start getting annoyed at everything there is going to a war. To every man his own. I mean I am a mature 24 year old working dude don't mock me cause I have steelies in the winter. The car is so dirty during the winter anyways. Are you really gonna be staring at my steelies which you probably can't notice with the weather I have here.

Please guys we are making something outta nothing here. I don't like being called a ricer I don't even have a mod on my car.

I take my rims off for the winter, and I don't have the caps on mine. With a body kit and a cf hood, the caps make it look even more like a$$. Taking your rims off sucks bad enough.

stock EX hubcaps look clean and pimp. Just make sure you keep em brake dust free and shiny, thats when they look really good. Especially when the tires have shine on em.

Actually, one of the purposes of hubcaps is to serve as a snow tire accessory. You wouldn't want to fsck your nice, shiny (if chromed, which I don't really like) wheels by slipping down the road, would you? That'd be nuts.
Some people use hubcaps in snow tires so as to not damage their normal tires.

Now, about the no hubcaps thing. I only let people do it when they've fsck'd their hubcaps. If they just wanted to take them off to make their rims look black, I differ. Why not paint the hubcaps black. Don't say you can't, because (1) I've got a neighbor with a (real ugly) del Sol (I love del Sols, but his is just plain... scary) and (2) today you can even paint your rims shiny chrome-looking red.

That's my opinion.
