    Not motorbike related BUT

    On retrdme is a Em Ecks Fyve with 10" wide rims (250emem for those young bastards).

    And it has 1-fuckin'95 tyres fitted.

    SIx inch rims would be any amount wide enough for 195s but freakin' 10's???

    And they're selling it with this clusterfuck set-up.

    I saw a people mover with a bright green version of the same wheels on the Southern Motorway last week. Must be the next big thing for fucktards.

    That's the one - at least you won't scuff the side-walls on the kerbs so easily...

    Reminds me of back in the day when you could make 7" X 13" rims for your Mk2 Zephyr.

    But the only tyres were 175X13s.

    Those are the ugliest rims I have ever seen so far.

    Stretched sidewalls can look good with the right wheels, which this car doesn't have.

    Haven't seen rims that ugly for 20 years or more... looks like the Ford engine blue colour of my old Falcon500 engine.

    Its hideous!

    We see this shit all the time (being in the mag wheel game). The idiots don't realise that the tyre manufacturers spend millions (well maybe not the chinese one's) on developing these things to work on specific size rims. We've seen quite a few that have popped off for no reason, in fact we had one do it on a customers car driving it around the building just the other day . I also know that Mad Mike occasionally has the same problem on his rotor drift car (Which is where most of these idiots get the idea from- He's good mates with one of my workmates). They should be illegal.

    Must be a bugger to get the beads to seat when you fit the tyres? You would need a massive volume of air or do they just put inner tubes in?
