Eh, all the ricers in my area just pull their hub caps. They spent too much being cheap on the rest to afford wheels. This includes wheels from the junkyard.

But I guess if you get the wal-mart brand paint you could spring for some new NON MATCHING rims from your local scrap yard.

 

haha I saw one the other day with only 1 spinner...

 

Was it a real Spinner? or was it the AutoZone Hub cap spinner?

I see full size vans every day with 22" chrome rims and some even have spinners. I don't understand it.

There are also a few cars around here that have like 40" rims. The cars almost have enough ground clearance that I could put the bed of my truck under them...

 

I cant rag on it. I have a 2000 Civic EX coupe with a 5-spd for my daily driver. Its actually pretty zippy and fun to drive and gets about 36 MPG usually. The worst thing about it is its sits low and its getting hard to get my old butt in and out of it. Actually the worst thing about it all the little kiddies think just because it has nicer wheels on it that its a race car and want to play games with me all the time.

 

With my line of work I am only allowed a truck... to much work to do during the day.

 

It was a real spinner but not overly huge haha. Near me we have old crown vics and impalas(spelling) with like 30s and 32s jacked up and have like sprite and donk on the side.

 

Yeah, took me a while getting in and out of the damn thing. I think I'm going to jack up my Prelude, put it on 35s, and totally black it out. maybe then I'll win Truck of the Month

 

Do it. I'd vote for it.

 

i need a daily DD so people will quit hitting my damn truck on the road

 

True. Maybe you guys can start the F150Online Ricer club.

 

How many miles did the car have on it when you picked it up? I also bought a 03' civic w/ 108k to keep the miles off my truck. It definetely isn't a sweet ride, but it's paid for and I wont cry as much if an idiot totals it.

 

I can relate! I have a 1993 Toyota Camry LE V6 as my daily commuter! It saves me a ton on gas $$$, saves miles on my beast too! With the V6, it is actually quite fun to drive & runs like a top!

 

I got it with 130k on the clock, which isn't bad I guess for a car that's 17 years old. Apparently it never had the 90k mile service, so the timing belt hadn't been replaced.

I love not worrying about where I park or if someone is going to steal it. I like that F150online ricer club, who's in?

 

ha, this thread reminds me of my neighbor who jut "G rided" his cavalier, he went and got rims for it (theyre pretty nice actually).... then he got the windows tinted 5%, bought stock in those little autozone k&n knockoff filters and has those everywhere that needs a filter, and some places that dont, got a walmart pipe for it, and EVERY SINGLE DAY comes around the block beating "get back by ludacris"

hes an alright dude though, i keep telling him to fix up his expedition and he refuses to do it

thats my story

 

considering you're in carrboro you may need a prius to satisfy all of those carrboro and unc toolbags around there
