How about these babies with the integrated curb feelers?

Did you look at the picture of the Monte Carlo with those wheels and the gull wing doors? My wife has a Monte Carlo. I showed her the picture and told her we could do hers up like that

Apparently she didn't find any humor at all in that. I just got slapped on the back of the head. Thanks for helping me get in trouble QSZ

Sorry to get you in Dutch with the Mrs. vms4evr! You should have told her if everyone had Lambo doors, door dings would be an endangered species, she would be doing a public service. I wish I could come up with an excuse for those wheels but hard as I have tried I can't think of one...

I wouldn't put those on a car I owned even if you put a gun to my head... Not to mention "spinners" were outlawed on cars many years ago. I used to love those center hub spinners on the Vette. I just can't see those wheels being legal.

Anyway I'm out of the dog house. I cleaned the Monte up, detailed the inside up good then washed, buffed, and waxed the outside. It looks nice and the little woman has forgiven me for that crack. Sometimes it does not pay to be a smart-a**
