swappin? I haven't changed them yet. Well still got the hub caps on right now. Need to get those little things to keep your dust caps on when you don't have a hubcap. Have any idea what I'm talking about? or am I just talking crazy talk?

It's snowed 1 time in the past year so I think I will be safe leaving them on.

Damn, well, i there are NO tires on my steelies, so in the winter, no traction is BADD, and trust me, these tires on the steelies are BAAALD! well, it snow'd like 2 time last year, so i wont have to worry about plowing around!

here too. i wait for it to snow to stick on the studded tires. generally the VX rims have studs but they are currently on hoopty whoop. so i guess studs on black steelies this year?
I HATE SNOW :finger4:. i literally make up any excuse i can to not go outside.

Hey kris, do you have a problem with your dust caps popping off? Mine keeping popping off and I have to listen to this stupid rattle all the time till I finally take the hub cap off and put it back on. Know any good way to make it to were they will stay on? or if they do pop off, will it hurt anything?

It's like 60's here during the day, and 30's at night. I freeze when I get off work. :cool:

why do some people have silver steelies and some like me have black steelies? was it an option or something? maybe some of the models didnt come out with the ugly H hubcaps so they had silver wheels with beauty rings or something.?
GTA
10-18-2002, 05:07 AM
black ones were ones that came with hubcaps. grey ( silver ) ones were on the ones that didnt have hubcap from the factory. Some came with chrome beauty rings and some didnt... i know this cause my car has greys with no beauty rings and my stepmom is the original owner so i know everything thats ever been done to this car :)

I got my black ones off my girl's 00 civic, which had hubcaps & a set of silver ones w/ a chrome center cap off a 92 civic.
