Can't Afford 20" Rims? No Problem...
 

Big wheels are all the rage, but they're expensive. Here's a cheap alternative:

im not sure what this is. Is it a hub cap that fits over the tire sidewall????

Re: Can't Afford 20" Rims? No Problem...
 

Nope...it's just white paint directly on the sidewall. :lol:

Looks like the guy who had the spray canned White 2x6 board for a wing on the back of his mini car at the Sunnyside Walmart a few years ago has upgraded to an SUV now.

At least he won't be the poor fool showing up at Les Schwab with a sick look after his mom drove the car over a curb and busted the 600 dollar wheel and 250 buck tire he put on the day before as I saw here in Toppenish a couple of years ago. The rubber nubbies were still on the tread of the tire and the tire and rim were destroyed from hitting a curb.

I tried to make my own redlines with paint and could not find any that would stick. I even used paint made for inflatable boats, and it would not stick.

Good idea, but probably will not last long. (too much flexing of the sidewall)

That red line story reminds me of my 55 Buick that I had when I was 19 and maybe not nearly as smart as I thought I was.

For some lame reason in the summer of 1966 I thought I needed to give it the "gasser" look that the 55/57 Chevy guys were doing by removing the front bumper. In this photo I had just painted the stock Buick wheels bright silver and popped a new set of beauty rings on them. Then it was off to B&B auto parts in Renton Wa for a can of black tire paint and a redline stripe paint stick. I actually painted the tires black and put the red stripes on them right in the B&B parking lot.

The wheels actually faked quite a number of guys out and some even won some bets with guys who thought they were real chrome wheels.
