Actually spiked lug nuts have been out years before the “ricers”We've made great strides of improvement since the rice wars of the 90's, 00's, and 10's, lets start this next decade rice free please.
Actually spiked lug nuts have been out years before the “ricers”
I get what you’re saying which is true. I just remembered a friend putting them on his slant six Plymouth duster ( plus a lot of stupid stuff) which that was in 1986 when we were 18 years old and riced wasn’t a word thenEssentially anything ricers put on their car was around before they came around, spoilers, aero kits, chrome markers, badging, spiked nuts, etc. But it doesn't recuse those parts from being ricey. OP wants to remove his 2.5lb set of factory nuts and replace them with a 9.6 lb set of spiked nuts. So he is adding 1.75lb's of weight to each wheel and added turbulence to his car since the spikes stick out past the rim. Its not just form over function, its form with negative function, thats rice.
I was 18 when the original "The Fast and the Furious" was released. That movie made the import scene blow up in my area, but not necessarily in a good way. ?We've made great strides of improvement since the rice wars of the 90's, 00's, and 10's, lets start this next decade rice free please.
