Earlier today.... A Corsica was making a right turn. I noticed the front steelies and in the rear on the drivers side he had the Niche Bella hubcaps. I figured he must of lost a hub. But, then when he made the right he pulled into a gas station making another right. Also, had the steelie in the front with Bella hub in the rear. The guy seemed like he was trying to race the way he was cornering and accelerating.

I sure hope this is not a new style

I wouldn't of thought much of it, but he look like he was trying to speed / race. I figured he had just come racing at the track

Niche Bella hubcaps.

Eh? Since when does Niche make hubcaps...do you mean he had Niche wheels in the back?

And I see this ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

It's SO ugly. It make it look like they are trying to emulate the muscle car drag racers that put the big wheels in the back with street slicks. There is even this one car around with a full on Black Widow kit, the hood and everything, monstrous wing, running on black painted steelies with no wheel covers.

Funny thing is when they put the new wheels in back, and leave steelies on the front, they are actually making the handling of their car worse.

Putting more traction at the rear of a FWD car just means the rear end is less likely to slide, meaning MORE UNDERSTEER!!

YAY!!!
