different wheels on each side...

[evillecutter]

i have thought about this for the past decade or so and continue to think it is a cool idea: when you look at a vehicle it is impossible to see both sides at the same time - so when getting new wheels i always wanted to get two different wheels the same size and close to the same weight for each side - so when you see the vehicle from one side it looks one way and when you walk around to the other side you have a different style - same tires just different looking wheels for each side - comments?

Sounds like a hoopty to me...hey, you asked for comments, there's my two cents.

[JAMAS]

That would drive me bonkers.

tacky

Hey, it'd be like having two vehicles with different customization styles for the price of one. I've considered the same thing in the past, but being as picky as I am about the wheels I put on my vehicles, I've rarely been able to find two styles that I like equally well at the same time.

In the end, it's your vehicle though, so if it's something you want to try, I say why not? It's not like you'd have to leave it that way if you ended up not liking it as much as you'd thought you would.

LMO...just wrong

not different from front to back different from one side to the other - none could ever see both sides at the same time

[JoFotoz]

LMAO..yea I get that.

not different from front to back different from one side to the other - none could ever see both sides at the same time

My analogy was simply how my twisted mind processed the idea
However, if you were viewing the charms of Granny panties from the front...
.....you'd need a " rear view mirror " ( ) to see the surprise!

Aesthetically silly.

Mechanically, scary. I would be skeptical even with "close weight" wheels. You may not feel the change at low speed, but at higher speeds I can imagine there will be a difference. Not quite sure how your AWD, steering, and alignment will like that. I say try it and report back in a year.

i never intended to actually do this i just thought it would be cool - like having two different (looking) vehicles depending on which side you are standing on - seems like im the only one though

[Y33TREKker]

...seems like im the only one though

Uhm...hellooo.



Sure, there may be practical limitations to doing such a mod when you're talking about wheels and tires, but there's nothing wrong with the principal of thinking a vehicle with two simultaneous looks would be sort of cool to experiment with. As a matter of fact, I've already seen a few business vehicles in my area that have had that very thing done with full body vinyl graphics. One vehicle, two different advertising schemes.

A few years ago the BAR Formula 1 team tried to get a similar paint job approved with two different sponsors each getting half the vehicle split right down the middle, but the bosses said no.

tried to find an example via google and even though this is not what i was talking about i thought it was interesting
