No dub sticker because they aren't dubs. Dubs are 20s, and depending on the context can mean an amount of money ($20), an amount of weed (dub sack), or wheel size (20" rims). The street slang of "dub" stops at 22" rims, which are called "dub-deuces." Past that you just have "twenty-fos" and "twenty-sixes" and "twenty-eights."
Now you know ![]() Oh, and no, I wouldn't shoot at you. I'd probably just crash my car from laughing at you. At least that car is somewhat decent. I generally see those on mid-80s to early 90s clapped out hoopties. One would think that instead of buying an old hooptie and putting those $uper expen$ive rim on it, they'd just buy a decent car. But no....

Sometimes I just can't understand the fashion nowadays. Just like bell said, many of them slap on a brand new set of big wheels right after getting the car out of the dealer, WITHOUT upgrading their brake. Why? big/heavy wheels kill performance, braking, easier to flip, ride harsher, cost more money and wear faster. What is the advantage beside "avoiding" the use of jacks/jack-stands? And the funniest thing is that many of those guys on big trucks/SUVs with big wheels drive like a maniac because they think they are the fastest/saftest on freeway.
