Nice dude! I say with unless you polish the hub cap. What size are these? Have you put your old ones up for sale yet?

dude.....your old rims were amazing! i guess you ended up not feeling them ...but we all agreed they looked good! ah well.....anyways i say with caps, looking forward to seeing those on your Q

[Mariach]

Yea, Fueler, the center caps are a must.

I second empty V. Have you sold your current rims?I may be interested

[Qxxx4]

dayyymmm homies got that new nintendo 64!!! LOL nice setup....

that toyota is rock solid sexy

after seeing without the caps....it would look great without them as long as you cant see anything inside....black it out. when i had that missing cap on one of my rims it looked hideous, but your wheels can really pull it off as long as the hub is painted

whats taking you so long if i were you i would have had them on already...they must be hot still, the toyota owner must be out looking for them

[Empty V]

but your wheels can really pull it off as long as the hub is painted

that's the thing, if that brass looking hub is exposed it'll look like sheeeet. Painted would look slick and silver polished one would blend in well. I don't think the caps looks bad though and I'm pretty critical of them. I still don't understand why some of these manufactures make such tight looking rims and then fuch them up with ghey looking center caps.

^^ forreal, they make the caps stick out too far in my opinion

I think you're trippin bro, those look tight.

^^ forreal, they make the caps stick out too far in my opinion heres installed on a taco, with caps

I think the center caps look fine in that picture, in fact, better than the other picture without center caps.

I'd go with caps, mostly because everyone else is right, unless you do something with the hub... it ain't gonna be pretty.

Have you tried to see if you can find/add caps that are effectively flat? Just so it doesn't look like a big HOLE in the middle?

[WINNIPEGS_MOST_WANTED]

Definately with.

[Qxxx4]

playas are rite...fueler be str8 up trippin, cap that s*** pimp that qxfo

[SnowSurfLax]

I say without since he has a full black QX4. It'll look better I think, matching with the paint.

I think if you want to match, it would be better with black rims... not a black hole in chrome rims.

[Qxxx4]

i know exactly what will resolve this dilemma..more cowbell

[screwinitupagain]

What to the other rims?

[GRNMACHINE]

yeah definitely more cowbell, definitely needs more cowbell...

i still like your old rims but these are nice too. 4wheelparts had a killer deal on them in their mag, but when you go to order them online they arent on sale... getting offtopic here

With caps! the Taco without caps looks ok but makes me think did he forget to put them on or were they stolen.

[fueler]

i got a pretty good deal in-store - better than online. also 4WheelParts has a 30 day price match guarantee so if any of you can find Pro-comp 10236883 for under $170/wheel (shipped) i will split the money with you 50 50

Fueler.

I think it looks pretty awesome withou the caps. like everyone said about the hub and s*** i would assume if your not putting the cap on you would clean that area up.

Hey put the caps on during the weekend. idk but i like them without

[fueler]

i put the rims on, no caps but the area still needs to be cleaned up and painted black.

[Eikon]

I almost always like wheels with the center caps installed.. But in this case, they look really hot without the caps.

Nice wheels!

[fueler]

thanx for the kind words

[W O T]

I def like em without, just give everything behind a nice coat of black!

[GRNMACHINE]

Pics?? U keep the same BFG Muds? Love those tires.

[screwinitupagain]

For some reason I thought you had manual hubs in the front, any way just get the small falt center caps or Rustoleum black that s***.

[screwinitupagain]

That might be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. If you're gonna hood it up put some 13-14" chrome 100 spoke Dayton knock-offs with a nice little whitewall & a pair of Red's Hydraulics. Not that though, geesh

[KyooX4]

It looks like a hotwheels car.

[sixty4]

They look crazy, go to Miami and see one in person or have one drive down the street past you and they will make you smile, maybe chuckle.

These are very much a regional trend, this height is pure Miami, I've seem them with not quite the heights in Virginia Beach and even Indianapolis.

They are called Donks, Boxes, and Bubbles.



I would drive this one (to a party, not work)

I would drive this one (to a party, not work)

I'd drive that one too, too bad it would look goofy having a 6 ft tall skinny Chinese guy (aka me) driving it though.

I wonder if I look goofy or what when I'm in the PF. I know that when the Corvette was in good condition, I definitely stood out, I barely fit in that thing!

[Qxxx4]

i think any asian looks good in a japanese car. I must surprise people when they see a young white guy in mine, i look like the kind of guy that would be driving a j-body or mustang lmao

[KyooX4]

Or a civic. Haha. You kind of look like a friend of mine. He drives a civic.
