If you have a non-turbo DSM with 14 or 15 inch hubcaps and you can't afford to buy some 17's for it right now here is an alternative solution for you. Take a look. I like it especially if your CASH RESERVE is EXTRA Low. Now you can have the look for a low/affordable cost and keep the ride comfort of the 14's or 15's because they have more sidewall than low profile tires.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Those are INCREDIBLY ghetto and dorky.

I mean COME ON. Even those cheap-ass 15" Z 3 spoke chrome wheels are more tasteful than pretending you have a cheap looking 17" rims.

I think you should take up a new name JJay, and it should be "PepBoy'sAccessoryDefender", although that could be shortened to:

"PepBoyDefender"

Do you think those LED exhaust tips are cool too?
 
:D :rolleyes: Laugh it off because you have money and can afford better and you have nice cars and real rims, but everybody can't afford that and these rims/hubcaps are for people who can't afford real rims. You can't judge everybody by your monetary standards. Everyone can't afford what you can so don't take it for granted.

If you didn't have money and wanted your car to look better these are the ONLY ALTERNATIVE to staying stock with no cash. So if you diss on someone poor well:rolleyes: more power to you. I don't care what you say These look better than stock 13, 14, or 15 wheel covers. The trick of it is to not have that much wheel gap between you tires and fenders so some people my have to get some lowering springs possibly depending upon car wheel size/gap proportion.

I do think the L.E.D. Muffler tips are cool, but I don't have them and they don't last long under extreme conditions so they are not a quality item. I don't think or would expect for everyone to like them or have the style for them either.

For anyone interested in getting the 17 inch wheel covers call 1-877-453-7697 and ask for Penny. She has 14 inch and 15 inch in stock. They cost $59.99 and $15.00 for shipping.

Style WH-601
Style WH-602 are available.

haha, this kids a tool. Me, and pretty much everyone else on this board, would rather stay stock. Aftermarket hub caps are ghey IMO.

Those LED exhaust tips are more ghetto than purple window tint.

Yes but if you cannot afford real rims why waste money on some retarded hubs when you can save the cash to buy real rims.

People to do not buy these becasue they are poor. They buy them becasue they are cheap

Exactly....hell save for a few weeks and buy my old chromies for 200 bucks...did I just break a ruleOMG :p
 
If I had little 14's I wouldn't rather stay stock, but to each his own. I bet you see some people with them.

L2RTSiAWD I strongly disagree with your comment about people who buy them are just cheap. Trust me some are actually poor too, but if you don't believe and have not experienced good for you man.


Krott5333 you could be called a tool as well. If you don't like them you can't speak for everyone with hub caps. I still think they would look better than stock.

No way in hell I would rather have little 14's or 15's than some simulated 17's 18's for such a low price. You could paint them gunmetal or hyper silver if you like and make them not look chrome. Be creative with it not boring:rolleyes:

You have to not have a lot of money to apprectiate what I am saying. Plus you can keep a more comfortable ride because the stock tires are still on the car with more sidewall and you won't hurt your odemeter and speedometer by going with the wrong size wheels.:thumb:
 
I think this is a lost cause..

AFTERMARKET hubcaps are ###, if they came with the car, then thats great. But id much rather spend $70 on an intake or something than SIMULATED WHEEL COVERS, trust me, theyll look worse than 14" stock hubbies. alot worse. Its like, when you see a kid with pink neon dice, he thinks they look really cool, but most people think they look ghey.

But then again, you may like neon dice..
 
Yeah, but man, like thats why I'm trying to say. I'm doing you a favor, I know everyone says "as long as you like it" but if the majority of people that see your car dont like it, why get it?
 
It doesn't look like they make your wheels look bigger. looks like they are just made to fit better by expanding over bumps so they don't roll off.

That's the way I took it as I read it.

As for my opnion, I am like others. I'd rather stay stock than waste my money on these. To each their own definately. But if I was on the less fortunate side, I'd rather save my money for something better or worthwhile. But that's just IMHO.
 
JJay,

I'm with you man....

One does what one can can do. I'd like to thank you for throwing this information out for everyone's benefit.

Some may not like it, but some may very well view this as a means to begin modding a car. Personal preference that's all.

Thanks,
 
Side note, I saw these at AUTOZONE when I was getting some oil absorbant/kitty litter for the garage (Excuse me, I mean "CAR-HOLE") when I saw those lovely things in the "RED ZONE".

They wanted almost sixty bucks for the 13" to 15". You could get some new stocl floor mats or something for that.

That's just plain stupid. Maybe we should bring back white wall paint, those rear wheel well covers, and all those tacky trends back from the olden days.
 
I like caddys with the rear wheel cover....pimpin ;)
 
woo ill take 4 18", some apc stickers, 8" exhaust can, LED windshield squirters, 4ft aluminum wing and that thing that maakes the bloww off valve sound in my muffler:rolleyes:
