Talking with a salesman I notice in the parking lot a car leaving, It is driving on a rim on the front right! Couldn't tell if there was any rubber left. Once I left you could see where he had pulled in off the street and then left out the other way by the gouge in the asphalt. Amazing what people will do! He definitely was not driving to a tire shop either.

wheels are cheaper than tires

A few months ago I saw someone driving a 7 series @ about 60 mph on a rim. Sparks were flying everywhere.

Until a cop pulls you over and the city sends you a bill for resurfacing the road
