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'

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

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?
