why i constantly see FWD with wheels...but only wheels on the back, they leave the fron ones stock. ive seen it happening alot, and now it seems like its happening even more. so is ther any advantage to it or what??

keep in mind it never snows here and rains like two times a year so its not like they have snow tires or rain tires on the front or something.

well...

on a fwd car the front tires wear waaaaay faster then the back... so if they're racing or whatever they probably just but those stockies on so they can beat the shit out of the cheap tires instead of the expensive low pro on the rims... i think thats why at least

Also, low profile rubber doesn't equate to better launching traction.

why is it rice to have 2 rims? just because they dont have enough money to get them all at once, at least there trying to fix up their rides so eventualy they'll look nice, not everyone has thousands to put in a car at once.

Stock rims can be a lot lighter than aftermarket ones, and have a smaller diameter, so a smaller moment of inertia. The tires they may have equipped on them may be drag radials or something. So these ppl may be headed to or back from a track, may be too lazy to change thier rims after a day at the track, may be poor ricers or may be posers, making it look like they just hit the track :rofl:

maybe they smashed up 2 of their rims and put on their stock ones for now.

or maybe they need new tread for only the 2

i was on 2 rims for a while but thats cuz the other 2 were messed. long story.

Shrug - my 2 fronts were at alberta wheel repair for about 4-5 days so I had my stock 15s on the front.

well theres mainly one car im concerned about. ive seen the car change many times (i drive by it every day) started off with a crappy red paint job, then got a black hood, (not CF) got exhaust, got back wheels, about 2 months later it got front wheels, still has crappy paint job and black hood.

I've been seeing that alot lately... Just the other day I saw a guy with an unpainted body kit on a 2000 Prelude with his rear wheels summers and his front wheels stock all seasons... I look at the kid I just wanna punch him for being such a fucking dork... Does he not realize he looks like a complete dork... God whats the world coming too?
