I see these all the time at car shows underneath people's wheels, and I would like to get some. I have no idea what they are called (tried searching "wheel/tire/rim display" on ebay with no luck) and where I could get them. I either want plain or Toyo ones. Anybody have an idea?

Heh, I just search ebay for "tire stand" and it didn't bring up anything, and yet someone else found one! Too bad I don't have a BFG tire... heh.

I agree with SpoiledMan. A tire shop should be able to point you in the right direction.

Heh, I don't know where a tire shop in my town is... I have awhile anyway before I need some, but last night I just thought of the idea of trying to find them. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be!

Honestly, I don't see any sort of aesthetic value in them by rolling your car over them if not just to display sponsor names or something, but I've never seen them in real life so I can't speak too much from experience.

Of course I think it looks horrible but then again I've seen far worse things at car shows... haha.

Black Magic tire tint, applied heavily it will look that--just like azz.
