    White wheels on white cars (polished lip?)

    02-15-2011 10:41 PM #1
    Happy Tuesday TCL!

    I am bored and I have been feeling white wheels on white cars lately, particularly with a polished lip.

    I would love to see some more:

    Yeah, baby! The ultimate hand-me-down cruiser of 17 year-old suburban kids who thought they were hot stuff because their car had sporty cladding...until it was replaced by the next generation Grand Prix as the ultimate hand-me-down cruiser of 17 year-old suburban kids who think they are hot stuff because their car has sporty cladding.

    Really; I know a dozen people from high school who had/have Grand Prixs. They were usually driving with the windows down, blasting a Wal Mart sub, and doing the gangsta lean so they can barely see out of the car. I think, in general, did half its business in the Toledo area.

    Reminds me of seeing silver cars 8-10 years ago.

    They still look like stupid jeep wheels... I meant that as a general category!

    Racing wheels or not, they look like they've been swiped from a CJ7.

    As long as they are color matched, I think they can look good. Nothing like being a few shades off though...
