Who came up with those goofy things...and WHY!
Who came up with those goofy things...and WHY!There is one of those big ugly Mercedes 4x4's (the 100k one) that has 22 inch spinners and the spare is on an electric motor that rotates the spinner on the spare!

It's happened numerous times here in NJ.

And no, I have no problems with blind people either.

And no, I have no problems with blind people either.NO ACTUALLY I DID'NT KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT BY THAT!! I'M NOT MAD ATCHA OR ANYTING LIKE THAT EVEN THOUGH I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT A "GHETTO RIM" IS IN COMPARISON TO ANY OTHER TYPE! WITHOUT GETTING TO DEEP, I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF RIMS ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS THAT I DON'T CARE FOR BUT I'VE NEVER REFERRED TO OR EVEN THOUGHT OF THEM AS "GHETTO". IT'S NOT A BLACK/WHITE/BROWN/RED ISSUE...JUST A MATTER OF TASTE. THERE ARE MORE WHITES IN THE GHETTO'S OF AMERICA THATN BLACK SO I DON'T LOOK AT IT AS A "RACIAL THING". I JUST THINK A BETTER DESCIPTIVE WORD COULD'VE BEEN USED BECAUSE EVEN THOSE WITH LOTS OF MONEY, AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM ON THIS SITE, HAVE MADE SOME PURCHASES THAT WE DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO WHEELS, BUT IT'S THEIR MONEY AND THEIR TASTES!! IF U THINK IT'S UGLY, THAN IT'S DEFINITELY YOUR PREROGATIVE, BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK OF A BETTER WAY OF PUTTING IT OUT THERE. I DON'T THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID AS THE THREADS WILL SHOW, BUT I'M A BIG BOY WHO CAN STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET!!

DJ-LO, I stand corrected. :o I assumed (not a good thing to do online.) that almost anyone here knew what "ghetto wheels" meant. And I do take your point. Anytime I've opened up the DuPont registery of cars I see 20-30 ads for what I see as "ghetto" wheels.
