those are 'butt ugly wheels'. don't know who makes them...and not going to waste time researching it. but they do match the decor of the homestead.

They resemble '89 Ford Thunderbird SC wheels but some how manage to be nastier looking.

Performance advantage? At least it will roll onto the flatbed when it's repo'ed.

it gets better. I love the part of the ad that says "for sale to people in person only, and cash only." no way in hell would I show up at that place alone with cash in hand -




got to ask, is that "honey boo-boo" all grown up?

They are almost ugly enough to be Boyd wheels. But they look like the style of truck rims that were the rage in the 80’s and early 90’s.

I dont care for the rims but bet someone is very proud of them. Looks like a nice family, ones that are poor and live out in the back country sown south. Growing up, I knew folks like that and learned not to look down my nose at people. Raised in the south, country small town, but middle class folks. Yes, I even knew ( been years and I was a kid) that had out houses and some took a bath in a large tub in the kitchen. if you have never used an out house, count yourselflucky. All that being said, I still hate those wheels,

My niece and her husband owned KMC wheels back in the day. They did really well with that company back then.
