You can't make this s_ _ _ _ up!

I'm in sales and travel almost every day in and around Chicago. I've been through alot of neighborhoods, White, Black, Hispanic, Polish etc.
This is the first I have ever seen these.
They stuck out at least 8" like a Roman Chariot.

Re: You can't make this s_ _ _ _ up!

would be interesting to get into this persons mind and see what caused them to think that was a good choice of wheel. eEver seen that before, and hopefully never again, lol

Re: You can't make this s_ _ _ _ up!

Those are "84's". Correct me if I'm wrong but its an 84 only cadillac wheel. Those are replicas with extra poke. Its a Texas thing and I'm not hatin.
