Dubs?
 

Pardon my ignorance, but what, exactly, are dubs? Is a reference to custom wheels/rims in general, or is DUBS a nickname for rims hacked off of some specific type of toy car? The only reason I'm asking is because I want some! If any of you have leads on good custom rims (ie what cars to hack them off of), please let me know. Thanks

"Dubs" refer to the wheels hacked off of 'Dub City' 1/64th Scale diecast cars made by a company called 'Jada City'

Sweet, thank Namuna. Now......where can I get them.

TRU, LHS, eBAY.

Thanks, I'll try eBay. What does TRU stand for?

Toys Are Us

Oh man, I can't believe I asked that!!! :confused: Duh!? :confused: Thanks, though. I promise an end to the stupid questions.

No question is stupid, m8.

local hobbie shop

i believe dubs were the name for 20s.... almost impossible to fit under a car, but easily under an SUV or truck...

still, beamers can eat 20s, and even some japanese imports, like supras and the new lexus GS series....

yeh, i always thought dubs meant 20 inch wheels cuz dub was short for something. i think if someone sed dub two or something like that it meant they had 22 inch wheels. kinda like ppl saying i drove buck twenty the other day, meaning they went a hundred twenty miles an hour

Or gotta get that new quarter to eight .

no
 

it's funny how ppl call wheels rims cuz rims is just the outer part wihtout the center hub. so if u got 22 inch rims, how you gonan attach it without the center hub? :D

Re: no
 

Aren't fonts fun?

like George '20yah' Bush?!?

I saw a couple of Dub City cars at my LHS, but they were much larger scale die-cast cars.

I haven't had much luck finding them otherwise.

I've seen them at some gas stations with other diecast cars

its amazing what cars you find at gas stations nowadays...
20" wheels are also called blades

To bring this back alive... Rigs are almost perfect for a base to adapt DUB bodies w/ light modification. Not all will work though. One Example...( Iliked the pic. Most of mine nevert come out so U never see them:( )

Nice pic!

I found some dubs, and I've posted about 'em in the Zips section.
Here's my Civic:

... just in case it was unnoticed the above pic was an example of using a "DUB CITY" body- not the wheels (which I used on another car). Thanx about the pic and your Civic looks good too.
