Default fake rims

scion owners: if you cant afford to buy some nice new or used rims please dont get cheap on us and take off the hub caps and tell people that you have black rims its just an insult to the rest of us who have scions and spent the bucks on nice wheels

I doubt that anyone riding around on stock rims is seriously trying to pass them off as aftermarket wheels. And even if they are, who cares? Some people just prefer the look of plain stock wheels over hubcaps.

Lighten up dude.

agreed... steelies are fine to ride on, expecially in winter, since they are heavier than aluminum or racing wheels... (living in Denver) many drivers throw steelies on their cars for the snow season, simply because they don't want to ruin their aftermarket wheels.

A. I think the steelies are in fact, black.
2. If people think that the steelies are aftermarket rims, it's their fault for being stupid.
3. Why are you bothered by people on steelies?
D. Is it that important to you for others to like your rims?
E. That is all


Note: I have factory wheelcovers, and I think steelies look bad. (my personal opinion)

So, if your car comes with black wheels, they should be kept top secret so as not to offend people with other kinds of wheels?

i think hubcaps are horrible and since I can't afford wheels right now I roll blackouts., I call then just that "blackouts" "steelies" is another acceptable term black wheels as in aftermarket wheels? i think not. chill bro.

I read your post three times... twice to determine wether or not you were kidding, and once to determine wether or not you are retarded.

My original response still stands...

"I doubt that anyone riding around on stock rims is seriously trying to pass them off as aftermarket wheels. And even if they are, who cares? Some people just prefer the look of plain stock wheels over hubcaps."

Again, lighten up dude.

I'm guessing the problem is that you are expected to notify onlookers and passers by that your factory steel rims are not custom/that you did not pay extra for them, etc.

Sort of like women with boob jobs are supposed to tell everyone that their t;ts are bought.
