Cool The "Spare Tire" Look: Pics
I said goodbye to my back left Kumho this weekend and resorted to the spare to get me the rest of the way home. The next day i got to thinking, this spare doesn't look half bad



the color matches the car pretty well, i could even pull off a spare tire look if i borrow three more


not half bad eh?

I have one for sale... 400 bucks. A cheap price to pay for that vintage look. Hell, people buy "vintage" k-mart clothes at abercrombie for 5x their worth.

You need a guy in a wife beater shirt with a mullet standing in front of that pic to complete the effect.

Photoshop skills available - just ask.

Steelies are quite popular where i live! HAHA...you see all sorts of things painted on them!

You also see the staggered sizes! Like 8" up front with 17" in the rear...

Actually I've heard certain racers covet these wheels (a matching set of four)to run on their race cars, after replacing the rubber. Are they that light and strong they can be used for racing?
