For the passenger? Very safe.
For the pedestrians that get hit? Ha! They're literally death machines. At this point, I'm surprised we're not putting spikes on the front of the car Mad Max style to ensure the pedestrians' death.
Y'all can buy these right now.
These certainly do have a use on freight trucks but not your urban crawler tho. They help identify loose and rotating lugs and give you a little means to know when you're too close to a curb. Plus as you drive you can shred other people's tires.
Edit: these being the silver spikes not the ghetto push on hubcaps
Those look like they're far more likely to destroy your rims when they tangle up a branch or bundle of fencing wire on the road than ever do you an ounce of good.
Saw these idiotic rims on a smol penis indicator the other day.
I like to call them "Plus Sized" they get much more annoyed than calling them small pp mobiles
Dead cyclists and pedestrians less likely to sue.
Give credit where credit is due. Death race 2000 came out 4 years before mad max.
