[NCZ13]

dayton spokes (eekdance)

 

[pHeeL tHiZ ViBe]

ya know i actually saw a set of 300 spoke 22' daytons on a cadillac deville last week..'eh homie' LOL it looked lifted cuz it wasn't dropped

 

[ForceFed]

Plastic..you are thinking of a BMX bike...And thats slang for those wheels as well.
Mags originated from Old school Magnesium wheels...Hence Mags.

Remember..Hell I can drive to the plant in like 10 minutes....I do live in Dayton of Course!

And Daytons..True Daytons are "class".
If a British roadster rolls on wires...they will be Daytons.
If a classic car wants to stand out (with wires of course) they will sit on Daytons.

If the dope boy knows his s***..He will roll on the real deal..Daytons...Not some hyped up wanna be wheel.

Real Daytons Seperate the wannabe change slinger from the high roller who knows quality costs a pretty penny.

unless you have dialup

Auctually..This is only true of multi-piece wheels...A cast wheel does not have a rim.Most OEM wheels are cast..Unless of course you own a high end luxury car with some nice "Rims" on it.(BMW,Lexus,Merc-Benz,Etc...)

Now ponder on that one.

You're both right. the rim is the outer most edge, technicly. But usually in automotive terms, it's called a lip.

And it's not HIDS, it's HIDs. Having an upper case 's' denotes another word is in the acyronm. Since HIDs are usually in groups of 2 or more, the lower case 's' denotes multiple HIDs. ie: "the officer hit me with his HID Maglight" or "The dealer wants to charge me $1500 for new ballasts for my HIDs"
