Stop With The No Hubcap Thing!!!

I go nuts when I see it, its pointless, looks like a** and just doesnt fit. If anyone is trying to make it look like they have black RIMS by taking off their hubcaps and showing off their hot 30 hole Steelies, stop, you are being a dork.

Sorry I saw a Hatchback civic (not my favorites) the other day without them and I just couldnt do anything but shake my head. How on earth did this ever catch on.

PUT THEM BACK ON!!!!

I dont have rims, I have caps for the moment, and if your waiting for rims why take them off so early, wait for them to come in first.

I mean i understand if its for a bit like if you lost or busted up a cap you dont wanna drive with 3 on, but even if they are snow tires, how hard is it to put the caps on when you are changing tires for the season?

so your saying they had like stock alloys or wahtever and own a separate set of just wheels with no caps. I dunno maybe its just me and the people in my area but its not looked at as anything special or good. Anda set of caps is like $20

if you're waiting to get rims, why take the hub caps off

balling has NOTHING to do with it. steelies without hubs is a joke, makes your car and the owner look cheap

if you're that poor and can't afford $275 Si rims with tires, then you shouldn't be modding your car in the first place

i have never understood why people take the wheel covers off. looks ghetto in my opinion. no matter what season it is, leave the covers on! and to say you can't afford 4 new wheel covers for $20 or less is ridiculous...

i also hateit when people rock steelies. All the ricers around here do because they see that alot of jdm wheels are black and they wanna be like them. Please use hub capps if you have them because steelies look ricey and cheap.

i think the steelies look better than caps...i don't put on the caps in the winter when i switch to 'em. this is a matter of preference, y'all should just do what you like and not rip on others...

Heres an even better question. Why the hell does it matter to you what other people do to their car? If people wanna paint their car pink and put dasies on it who cares is their car not urs. Worry about your own car. I honestly hope you didn't post that looking for support people are just gonna think your an @##hole.

wow, what an idiotic topic.
You're a ****ing ****; why would you want to dress up steelies by buying cheesy hubbies?
Why are you so passionate about steelies? Jeez if your going to start a topic, make it good or somewhat decent.

last winter my older vic got a flat and one of the hub caps snapped off of it, so i took the other 3 off. I was thinking I'd get new wheels a couple weeks following that, but I ended up riding it like that for a good 2 months and then bought my 7th gen. now that i think back on it, there were guys like you talking **** constantly, but i stopped worrying about it when one of them told me "you could atleast goto autozone and get some hubcaps for it"
