NOPD finally getting their priorities in line...

"allegedly"
You can't make this shite up...
Surprised they didn't have 32's put on them...

The OIG says that the city used tens of thousands of dollars in public funds to buy specialized rims and tires for commanders’ vehicles and that state laws prohibit making purchases of more than $20,000 without a public bid.
The original complaint came from the Metropolitan Crime Commission, alleging that the NOPD sent their new Chevy Tahoe units to replace the original high-speed tires and black rims for “softer ride” tires, as well as chrome or silver rims and wheel caps that appear to be more attractive than the black rims. According to the complaint in the OIG letter, those Tahoe Units were assigned to the NOPD rankings officers who “allegedly wanted their vehicle to deliver a more comfortable ride.”

If the Babylon Bee wrote that article they’d be accused of racism.

Inspector General Edward Michel said that the verbal justifications provided by the city, that the tires offered a “smoother ride” and that the chrome rims distinguished the commanders’ vehicles from regular patrol vehicles, were purely “cosmetic” and a wasteful use of $42,270. He also said that the aftermarket tires may not have complied with the mandated police vehicle specifications, which could also increase the risk of failure.
With Teedy in charge, I guess they just assumed no one would notice stuff like this or care

And why are they hating on the black wheels? Police Tahoes look good

The best part is them not realizing it's the PPV suspension, not the wheels, responsible for that awful ride.

To be fair the morbidly obese NOPD rank needs softer rides to protect their fat asses. Perhaps it's a medical thing?

Unreal. Just when you think you have seen it all in that town.

They know good and damn well the wheels aren’t the problem and if they were actually concerned with it they wouldn’t be putting low profile tires on their new expensive rims, they’d have tall sidewall tires that could actually handle their third world country roads and potholes.

I won't give a critical tip to a cop who doesn't have more attractive rims on his Tahoe.
