I've seen it a few times this week.

Why do some civic owners have only a set of rims on the front with hubcaps or steelies in the back, or vice versa? Is there something special about it?

Rockin_Festiva

steelies on the front with big rims on the back means they are going or coming from the track, less rims on drivetrain=faster acceleration, if they arent doing it for that reason, they are retarded.

imported_hdave

have you noticed any civics with two rims on one side and two steelies on the other side? that was me!

but not like that anymore

Rockin_Festiva

thats just plain dangerous, having one set on the front and back changes ur ride enough, let alone having a set on one side of the car and a diff side on the other.

imported_hdave

oh ****. i wont be doing that again.

good thing i had it on like that for only a short while

and also because steelies weigh less than most rims .

Ah, ok. I was just curious. Thanks for the info. Im also so confused when I see that. But it makes sense.

actually most of the cars you see that have that set up means the owners are too cheap to afford tires for their blown 19 inch chrome rims.
most guys change tires at the track and change back to avoid hassles by cops.

chris_si98

My friend used to do that..

you know why he did that?

he was too cheap to afford front rims so he just purchased two. IMO it's stupid unless you are going to the track.

or some people forgot to put the hubcaps on before putting there wheels on the car. thats my excuse anyways

Some of them just think it's intimidating

100% bs. the real answer is jus plain cheap. i love seeing stock civics with 2 19's in the back and 2 steelies in the front, then have the driver act like a shooter.

and fyi. theres a store in woodbridge called denim101, the owner drives a riced yellow civic with white rims: 2 on his car, and 2 in the storefront window

imported_Italia311

Haha...thats friggin retarded.

Anywho, I saw it twice this week. Two cars like that. It's friggin funny!!!

Question: Why buy 2 19's when u could prolly get 4 16s for the same price....no?

Cynikal.Mindset

some people do this with their winter tires too...only buy 2 winters and slap em on the front and keep their rims on the back

imported_rbjeepthing

It's a Woodbridge thing.

question: why buy 19's?

imported_italstallion

hahaha 19s would only fit if there was some serious mods to the wheel well ive seen a picture of a 5th gen hatchback with 19's im almost threw up it was so ugly

Chigga1

thats b/c he is racing bling bling!!!!!

its funny i used to do that... race with normal tires and 17's on the back on my Neon...

they do help for track ( DRAG ) to a certain degree... you have ****ty tires u get ****ty times... i had dean myers on my SIR and ran a best of 15.4 and nothng but wheel spin!

never ran at the track again! i know id have good times now

stock94block

^^^ you know after reading that it brought to mind a couple friends of mine (that ran 17's front and back) who had some nice swaps with decent mods but could never break the 15 second barrier...who would have thought the 25 pound wheels could have slowed it down :P

Joe-Civic95

i see that all the time steelies on front and rims on back.. i got use to seein it all the time
