My Car...Finally!...Fools!

We've finally got some nice weather up here and I was able to throw on my new 22"s and emblems. Calvin is p!$$ on 20" in the 1/4 window btw.

Here is a closeup of the wheel and emblem:

I don't think I'll be able to damage the tire on the curb thankfully, they were pretty damn expensive. There is a bit of rub on the front of the fender at full lock, but I've pretty much worn the fender away so the clearance is good now.

Here's my interior, don't worry, I only use my visors when it's sunny:


I hope you guys like it and sorry it took so long to get pics up.

i have never seen rims like that. soooo is it 22 at the tim or 22 at the protrusions beyond the rim?

Ever clipped a curb with those pups?

Wow, you've put a lot of personal touches on your Riv. There will be none like it, enjoy. Once you get past the shock factor of your unusual rims it almost reminds me of Ben-Hur spikey things on that guy's chariot that messed up that other guys wheels. Neat.

What brand, and what model are they? Are they a two piece? It looks like the outer part is put on afterwards? Do they make noise at speed? How high is the car off the ground with these wheels?

Do the front seat headrests having monitors in them too for the rear seat passengers?

Yes, they are 22" rim size. They "appear" to be larger. No curbs yet. I'd love to see someone try to sideswipe me now! I have no idea of their brand, only stamping is "Made in Tiwan" of course. One piece wheel, I'd say my ride height is about 3" higher. It is slower of course, but I get looks.

Road noise isn't any more than stock. No headrest monitors, I don't watch tv if I'm in the back anyways...

Uh, so what do you do if you are in the back seat?

Usually wiring under the backseat...or whatever they call it these days.

very nice. that is definatly unique. i bet those tires were a 6!†h to mount!!! i feel sorry for whomever you took it to. i used to hate mounting low profile tires on rims, never easy and it always took several tries to get the tire on the lip, but at least they were easier to seat than the big truck tires/rims.

You guys didn't find anything Foolish about my car?

Honestly you guys are too nice! Maybe I should have found a more "unique" car to use as "mine."

I'll hopefully get the real thing up whenever I get a chance to get home and get it cleaned up and do the work that needs done to it.

I will be keeping my little sig picture down there for a while though, it should remind everyone that looks at it how they got fooled on 4/1!

As much I wanted to say your car looks like absolute $h!†, I just couldn't spoil the fun!

Wow...you better figure out a way to fly over speed bumps.

honestly, it didn't strike me as your style but i didn't have any real back up for that theory

Here's the Riviera Used

peeing Calvins are retarded anyways

Probably because I trend towards conservatism when it comes to add ons and I usually call it when something looks bad.

Yep, I looked for the most "dis, dat, wit, wut, dem" street-talk-type page I could find.

I think the tire rub at the front of the front fender is hilarious though.

Is that guys cardomain page serious? He needs to revisit elementary school english. That is the worst grammar I have every seen in my life.

hez a floridian...dats jus how wez talk son!

j/k

Awesome, Joe. I wasn't online this weekend, but I sure gave your pics a raised eye brow when I saw them. You sound way to conservative to be pimpin' a fly ride like dat! High dolla shuz fo sho.
