Teddy Bear Wheels

Post by Mr. Mad Ox »

While searching for 14 inch wheels I came across these jewels
I've never seen anything like them
They are definitely intimidating :lol:

Actually, that's a good price on those wheels, even if they came without tires.
I forget the original price, but it was a LOT more than $550!

Really? He's had a few ads up asking 600 but I guess no one wants to ride around town on them.
I'm hoping he lowers it even more, I'm not actually ready to buy wheels but if these are available when I am they will be strongly considered.

They were AM wheels.
They are still in production - around $820 new.

Those are the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm sorry, just terrible. Reminds me of the crazy hello kitty outfits Japanese kids wear.

Funny cause I'd love to find some hello kitty wheel covers for the wagon!

Those are so cute and yet at the same time I jut can't think of a car on which they would look remotely appropriate... the Fiat Panda, I guess :).
Current vehicles: 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Turbodiesel with 211,000, 1994 Buick Century with 50,000, and a 2004 Toyota Corolla 5-speed with 153,000 (not mine, but I drive it)
