Last year, Trend Hunter featured a pair of $5,000 clear rims for your ride. Well, another innovator has followed suit. Only this time, the rims are 30 inches!
If you have to ask, "Why?" then ask, "How else you could make a junky old car eye catching?"
It happened when the owner put the the $30,000 with clear treys by MHT Wheels for a 1985 Chevy Caprice. It lifted twenty inches on a set of clear, 30-inch wheels. These rims are so outlandish they make the car look like a cartoon, but they do a stunning job of framing the views. "the Garfield Box, presumably for its orange paint job or love of lasagna, the '85 Caprice is wearing clear "treys" made by MHT wheels that reportedly cost $30,000."
