Rims with no tires?

Post by BAC5.2 »

Anyone ever had a set of steelies lying around with no tires? Anyone ever toss them on your car and try driving around?

I rode around on a bike with junk wheels and no tires before, but I bet it'd be fun in a car, though I'm sure it's dangerous.

Anyone got a set of steelies they'd be willing to try and take video?

:lol: You and your crazy ideas, Phil.

Make sure they're big enough to accommodate for adequate ground clearance. ;)

I'm not gonna do it, lol. I don't have steelies that fit over my brakes.

Good point about ground clearance, Art. A stock suspension Legacy would need to be used for this.

I rode a bike with flat tires through a building once and that was a blast!

Not the same. I'm talkin fully intentional, and not running from anyone.

So I guess in The Jerk it was a case of running from someone too. Still humorous.
