faster if front wheels are hub caps?
 
i have seen people having stock hub cap front wheels and 15or 16 or 17 wheels on the back. does this really make a difference in performance and speed?

No, I think they are going for the "drag" look..like they have slicks on the front or something. I can never understand this. Either that or they can only afford two wheels (or only stole two)...:mad:

Yeah, it's either for the 'drag' look, or they don't wanna wear down their nice tires when they do peelouts or something. Either way, I think it's kinda stupid to be driving around all the time with it like that.

I saw some guy yesturday with a Jeep Cherokee. The back wheels were sticking out about 5 inch more then the front. It looked pretty stupid, even worse than all (4) wheels sticking out. What do they call this when they offset the wheels like this? I remember is was the "in" thing to do back in the mid-90s.
