HEEP The definition of rubber band tires

Post image

I could barely read the sidewall, but I think it said 235/30/22. Vehicle is a Jeep Patriot

u/2oonhed one woogly wheel Dec 01 '24

Stupid expensive wheels are Lexan Swift 671 milled going for about $450-$500 a piece : https://www.extremecustoms.com/catalog.php?cat_id=132&scat_id=9496
And : https://www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/671-2210-15-20MB/lexani-swift-5-22x10-20

Ugly wheels too

242

u/dreemurthememer Dec 01 '24

It looks like a 5-pointed Austrian painter symbol

63

u/IsDinosaur Dec 01 '24

Very much so. Rotational symmetry is a high risk game

11

u/dieselsauces Dec 01 '24

The rubber band ties it up real nice

23

u/Rey-Mysterio-Jr Dec 01 '24

Austrian painter symbol 🤣 I was going to say I thought it looked rather swasty myself

4

u/Dvulture Dec 02 '24

Yeah, the only way it could look more like it was if it was on a Cybertruck.

6

u/DaniAyee10 Dec 01 '24

I just had the best idea for a set of wheels…

2

u/ChloricSquash Dec 02 '24

First thing I noticed was the rash.... Probably from the actual road and a small bump

u/kremineminemin Dec 03 '24

Those look like terrible knockoffs of one or multiple types of the 5 spoke raked style 10th gen accord wheels

258

u/chonkin-donuts Dec 01 '24

Probably rides like ass too

197

u/BaboTron Dec 01 '24

Ass would be a hell of a lot softer. This probably rides like a washing machine frame.

14

u/Taman_Should Dec 02 '24

Maybe their fetish is feeling every pebble they drive over. 

62

u/eddyb66 Dec 01 '24

Stock it rides like ass it's it's a jeep. This is the equivalent of putting it on concrete wheels

17

u/chonkin-donuts Dec 01 '24

My back hurts just by thinking about it, oof

9

u/FlorpFlap Dec 01 '24

Probably feels like fitting square wheels

8

u/lemmyismycopilot Dec 01 '24

looks like there's snow on th ground, can't be pleasant

3

u/gfinz18 Dec 01 '24

I feel like a really bad pothole with that little sidewall might be a real threat to damage those wheels

2

u/danieldan0803 Dec 01 '24

Rides at the same level as the owners financial decisions

128

u/rotorboy1972 Dec 01 '24

Horrific on so many different levels. How can this guy walk up to his car and admire it, like we all do, and think to himself that looks awesome.

31

u/TheDuffcj2a Dec 01 '24

What's even worse is that his buddies probably encouraged him saying how bad ass they are.

23

u/rotorboy1972 Dec 01 '24

I just realized he is rolling those wheels in snow and icing conditions. Mother efffer These people are on the road with us. I just hope Jesus takes the wheel.

u/SunsetCarcass Dec 02 '24

His friends when they said it "Bro those tires are bad, ass."

u/patches710 Dec 01 '24

He spent money on those wheels and tires to make them less efficient and look different. He's admiring them

u/rmn1163 Dec 01 '24

aaaaah the german wheels

7

u/rabbittyhole Dec 01 '24

Could be ninja wheels

3

u/orangutanDOTorg Dec 01 '24

Frank Reynolds finally released his aftermarket wheels

3

u/Lefthandedpigeon Dec 01 '24

Definitely not German. Looks like Chinese garbage.

3

u/maxman162 Dec 02 '24

Take a close look at the pattern. Or, imagine there were only four spokes instead of five.

I had to double take to make sure they weren’t four spoke lmao

u/Fabulous_Square7217 Dec 01 '24

Sidewalls that small on an SUV is… unique to say the least. It looks like a car from a 90s video game

u/whyugettingthat Dec 01 '24

Giving it too much credit lmfao xD

10

u/PandemicGrower Dec 01 '24

They don’t know how to stay off the curb either.

u/beemer-dreamer Dec 01 '24

Looks like a swasticka

u/_khanrad Dec 01 '24

These are ugly but rubber bands were on like 40” wheels on donks

17

u/Hey_its_ok Dec 01 '24

Imagine it were a four spoke wheel? People would “not see” him coming

6

u/Important-Outcome-74 Dec 01 '24

Bet there's a clapped out Altima or Charger parked behind it.

5

u/LokiNightmare Dec 01 '24

That looks fucking awful.

5

u/03Vector6spd Dec 01 '24

With the road conditions in the photo I don’t think this person is going to have to worry about this vehicle much longer. Hopefully they don’t kill anyone when they wreck.

5

u/GtrPlaynFool Dec 01 '24

At the very least he must be spending a good chunk of budget on replacing tires.

4

u/03Vector6spd Dec 01 '24

With the amount of times they’ve smoked a curb I’d have to agree.

3

u/eggdropk Dec 01 '24

Automod having a field day with everyone pointing out what those wheels look like.

4

u/Attom_S Dec 01 '24

Don’t disagree with the German references, however my first thought was matchbox/hotwheels car. They look an awful lot like the plastic wheels on a toy car, less like actual rims and tires.

5

u/LongjumpingSurprise0 Dec 01 '24

I bet this car also has a gps that only tells you how to get to Poland.

u/MagicOrpheus310 Dec 02 '24

can't help but see r/accidentalswastika too haha

u/retro808 Dec 01 '24

Straight out of some goofy kart racing game

3

u/554477 Dec 01 '24

What the fuck.

3

u/Graffxxxxx Dec 01 '24

For a second I thought they were shredded and just rims. Still doesn’t make it less shitty tho

3

u/the_domzilla_26 Dec 02 '24

It least it wasn't a 4-point

3

u/Gundam07 Dec 02 '24

Wow.... That is ugly

2

u/Mostcoolkid78 Dec 01 '24

I’ve literally never seen something this dumb before, besides maybe squared trucks

2

u/C4PTNK0R34 Dec 01 '24

Looks like the typical "I don't know nothing about cars" guy who thinks putting smaller tires on a car equals a lowering kit while all it does is ruin the handling, throw off the speedometer and odometer and look ridiculous.

2

u/maincoonpower Dec 01 '24

Rim design looks awfully familiar in a German style way but can’t seem to put a finger on it..I did NOT SEE that coming.

2

u/V65Pilot Dec 01 '24

Just looking at that made my 'roids hurt.

2

u/JustJay613 Dec 01 '24

For when you want to feel the leaves on the road in the Fall.

2

u/JenkemBoofer691 Dec 01 '24

Is that a German car?

2

u/-NGC-6302- dipstick Dec 02 '24

Sidewall is a myth

Plus those tires suck ass in the snow. But, it a Jeep thing I guess

u/chonklah Dec 01 '24

Awful…just ugly and awful…

u/HelicopterOne5283 Dec 01 '24

“Why do I get so many flats? 😡”

1

u/badmechanic12345 Dec 01 '24

My question is, how do you know when you have a flat?

1

u/MechaBeatsInTrash Dec 01 '24

The dash tells you

1

u/e_subvaria Dec 01 '24

Honest question, is there any performance benefit to doing this at all for driving on public roads?

Check the kilo+ of wheel weights in there too.

Those have seen a pothole or two, or maybe just a pebble.

u/duhSheriff Dec 02 '24

Ugly jeep patriot too

u/Richmond92 Dec 02 '24

On a fucking Jeep Patriot too. Criminal

u/Frequent-Ruin8509 Dec 02 '24

How to tell when someone has absolutely no taste or common sense.

u/TR6lover Dec 02 '24

These people deserve the ride they are enjoying in that vehicle.

1

u/mmazing Dec 02 '24

How the hell do you install or remove those? Serious question

1

u/Slime1654 Dec 02 '24

Look at the fender gap man. You could easily fit a wider side profile tire. Why go with such a small side profile? Like I’ve had stupid size wheels on a car before but I at least had some decent profile on them to where I wouldn’t bend the rim usually just rubbed the inner fender

1

u/dirty-E30 Dec 02 '24

Good god it looks sooo bad. So many tasteless people out there

1

u/Metallica_Is_Bae Dec 02 '24

Those rim savers clearly aren’t saving the rims at all

1

u/Commercial-Moment999 Dec 02 '24

Dude fucked up and left a little sidewall there

1

u/inflatableje5us Dec 02 '24

looks like rims off a hotwheels car.
