I asked the question why but didnt get an answer. i was just interested why someone would take them off they are small and really dont seem to distract from the overall look of the car. someone else then said maybe to replace with 4.4 etc..... if someone whats to do that so be it I JUST THINK ITS LAME and we are not saying thats why this guy wanted to know. who cares about bigger fish as long as your happy with what you have, am i happy.
