Default hubcaps on rotas??

can hubcaps fit on rota slipstreams? the reason is to hide the fact that theyre lightweight rims. im more into the sleeper look.

If you want your car too look like a sleeper, put some steelies on it. True sleepers should have plenty of power to go fast with steelies. But if you want to try and put them on, knock yourself out.

i got 13 steelies but there are no high grip tires that i know of that can fit 13s. im thinking bout hx rims but people know those are light also. so why not get slips for the front only with high grip tires and hub caps to cover them up. spinners would look really stupid but that stupid looks is what make sleepers

No, stock looking is what makes a real sleeper! Other than that you'd be just stupid, not a sleeper. Like someone said if you are a true sleeper than it doesn't matter what rims you have your car should still be fast with out light weight rims!

but when u see a hatch u always think maybe it has something even though its complete stock. but if u see a hatch with spinners then it only gives you the idea that hes a ricer. am i correct?

I dont think you can have a sleeper by hiding your wheels!!! I think you should just stay away from the bling look!

im just thinking this way because it can be a new sleeper look. when you see a civic with chrome rims and underbody lights and emblems on it. do you think "******* ricer" or do you think "he prolly gota engine"? im sure most of you would never think that it would have a swap in it for looking ricey stupid.

i know its stupid but thats what im planning on doing. it also MIGHT repel thieves if it looks ricey.

theifs dont care if its ricey as long as its worth money and they can steal it they want it. simple as that. i would rather have my car look stock and not stand out so no one would notice it and not bother it..

maybe thats just me though.
