I think it would easier to drive the rims to wherever you are going and once the car is parked to just throw them on

Maybe I'm just a little today, but I'd rock them! Gotta keep them clean, and you better have a BBK.

It never ceases to amaze me this forum mentality.
Whatever the first reply is really sets the precedence for the rest of the replies.
Those rims were posted about two months ago and everyone hated them just because the first reply said eeewww or whatever. That follow the leader mentality is certainly fun to watch. I am sure I'm guilty of it myself.
I think those wheels are interesting but the body kit sucks on that car. And you'd have a major overheating problem of your brakes.
