I like that they look like I'm running wide 45's on 18" rims but I'm really on 175-65-14s. they also have a smoother transition than moonies because they cover the part of the tire that curves back into the rim.
I just realized that if I made them into spinners with bottom weights, I could tuft test the wheels. Hmmmmm...

Eww that they're from IKEA, but I guess those things have to have
some use, even if they're worthless for much else...
Excellent recycling idea, if one were to find these in the trash... somehow, I doubt it would be difficult to find. I might consider doing this with some steelies after I've figured out what's going on with my Van...
Insurance adjuster comes today to tell me that it's basically a total loss.
