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 thought I might find you there cheese-dick..

But seriously, I was scrolling through 'convertibles' and saw that creation.

Gets the WoF with standard rims,and then fits those ilegal and unsafe wheels on to sell it - with WoF.

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...

More likely to break the bead on the kerb though ...

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.

What are some people thinking when they do this???

**idb** · 11th September 2011, 01:19

That shade of blue just doesn't look right.

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

**Wannabiker** · 11th September 2011, 06:59

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.
