tires

As I was walking out of the store with some much needed laundry detergent, cheese, and six ears of corn, I noticed one of those Dodge Magnum Wagons with super huge rims.
Man, these rims were so big, that the paint on the asphalt rose above the black tire obscuring any rubber from view at ground level. I mean there was a tiny little bit of a rubber strip surrounding these humongous rims! Then I looked at my SUV and noticed the plethora of rubber surrounding my 16" rims.
So I thought, why do I have 16" rims, I always fought the status quo, swam against the current, prided myself in being not a sellout. So I want to start a new movement for people who don't follow the crowd. Little Tiny Rims! I want to put 6" rims with tires that are huge. Yeah - compared to this other guy, I had an aweful lot of black boring rubber showing ( I don't even use armour-all ) but I want more.
I want to make a statement! Perhaps start a whole new culture among bavarian immigrants.
hen I got to thinking again. Just what do these people pay for their little strips of rubber that surround their behemoth rims? Will I be paying charge card interest rates for my tiny rims and big tires? I never went for fuzzy dice, and that set of glowing washer fluid squirters never made it into my shopping basket.
So, alas, I just went home with my cheese, and felt content with standard 16" rims and big rubber tires, content in my inspiration to write about it today.
