The horse isn't dead if people keep riding it.
If you don't like the comments, put those that make them on IGNORE. I agree with them though. To me, the small hub caps look okay on Police cars, Taxi cabs and the 1965 and older cars before styled steel wheels became common. I'm not a fan of them either.

One or two guys that say "dork dishes" to every car with hubcaps is beating a dead horse but thanks for the suggestion.

Hey, I get annoyed with some members too. The IGNORE feature helps me keep from getting pissed off and going on a rant worthy of a temporary ban!

 

[INTMD8]

No I get it.

For example you have a guy just finished restoring his car and posts photos of it here only to get "DORK DISHES!!!" "SOMEBODY SAVE IT!!!"

I just think it's a dick response and me putting that person on ignore won't change that.

If I had a buck for every dude that talked trash about my choice in wheels, I could have bought another set of them.

It’s funny you mention that, I’m not a huge fan oversized wheels, unless they work, and yours freaking work!

I’m kinda curious how many of these b bodies, other then the a12 cars actually had welfare wheels factory vs how many got them put on by people that think they were factory

It's a trend that needs to die.

My goal was a modern interpretation of a 5 spoke like a Cragar.
Oh, and by the way....The A-12 cars had NO hubcaps! They just had black steelies with chrome lug nuts.

Your wheels work well with the stance of the car. The classic 5 spoke design looks great on Chargers.

How about a weird Daytona?

A front end that high would be counterproductive. Imagine the LIFT at 90 mph!

Here come a few oddball cars....

Remember this one? It was in either Hot Rod or Car Craft magazine in the early 90s.

I loved the fat tire stance.

 

[Kern Dog]

Remember this one? It was called "Maximus". The rear section was widened.

I wish that I had the skills to do metal work this clean.

If you know the camber and caster curves of these cars, you'd know how bad this car would handle with the front end up this high...

This one had some 1990s and late model Challenger inspiration.

Where it all began for the second generation Charger! This is the first clay mock up from 1965 at the Dodge Hamtramack Styling Studio.

Only purpose of this setup is weight transfer on the drag strip.

The front spoiler is missing on this car.
