Cheap Rims

Everybody wants cool rims on their car. Trust me, even if you don’t think you do, you do. If you haven’t heard, they elevate your status even though most of them are gaudy and often are rented or are on a payment plan. But gosh darn it, if you have 20’s you’ve got money, and you know it (now take it out of your pocket and show it and throw it).

You need to have rims to look good, but you don’t really have the money right now. What are you to do? However good payment plans for your new dubs may sound at first, there are some major downsides. First of all, you run the risk of everyone living in space by the time you pay them off. Next, you will probably pay about three times the cost of them by the time you are done. Then there is the strong possibility that if you fall behind on the payments, you will walk outside to see that your rims were repo’ed and your car is up on blocks.

May I humbly suggest some alternatives. There is always the option of going to Wal-Mart and picking up some hubcaps for the rims you already have. They run about $20 and they don’t look too bad. Then again, everyone will recognize where you got them from and your street cred will be shot.

Your other option is going without rims. Everybody’s doing it. Just take off your hubcaps, leave those nasty black steelies on there, and no one will be the wiser. They will just think you are going after that “rat-rod” look.

Or walk.
