How does this work if you still have a car note?

Does the rim repo crew show up and leave your car on blocks? Then your auto lender shows up for repo surprised to find the car without wheels? Or, do the rim people replace your wheels with standard size?

Alternatively, if the auto loan people get to your car first, what is the recourse available to the rent-to-own rim company?

yes

I have also seen a stereo system repo, needless to say repo people don't care about how your car looks when they are fininshed

Why on earth would ANYONE rent to own rims??? If you can't afford to just buy the rims, then DON'T BUY THEM!

So they can have a real "showtime" car before it gets repo'd. Obama will take care of everything.

Because the ladies generally don't like it when you're poor. Rims = Money

FWIW I work close to a credik union. The parking lot is full of repossessed cars with rimz and fancy customization.

One in particular made me chuckle....it said "Top $" in big chrome letters on the back glass.

You can't put the original tires back on? If not, somebody is screwed.

Honestly, the ladies don't care too much about the rims...

It must be a status symbol among the guys.

As a female, I can let you know for sure, most women don't really care what the rims look like as long as the guys takes care of what he has and presents it nicely.
