Those look fake as hell, please don't. I can understand wanting to get some new wheels, but you'll be happier if you save up and purchase real wheels.

LOL!! I'm pretty sure the forum would boot you if you bought those.
The products people come up with...the irony is there is probably a market for it out there...which is just sad.

That’s a step down from the old and garish spinners (much worse)...unless you’re going for the ricer look, which many Lexus owners do, and they proudly and tastelessly post here or elsewhere.

So let me understand the logic, low end vehicles have hub caps.. Buying a more expensive car, you get better features such as actual rims.. then you decide to buy this item, while having rims.. install a hub cap over them.. Can't believe people supported this product. Don't ever buy something like this

What the literal f***.
I think laughter is the best medicine. So, I think you should definitely get them and spread some laughter around. We all can use a little these days.






but seriously wtf?

If you shop at that one particular aisle within Autozone, then yes - get these to add to your collection.

They made their funding goal, so you’ll probably see some in your neighborhood someday.
I wonder if the girl comes with, to do the installation? Might be worth the price...

I'd consider them a downgrade on a Porsche/Lamborghini for sure.

This is one of those "too good to be true" projects for sure. I bet it looks very fake in person.
