Over 20 inches rim by Dayton

A dub is a wheel or rim that is 20 inches in diameter. The term dub is a slang term for twenty (Dub Deuce's = 22's, Dub's = 20's).[citation needed] Others believe that the term grew out of the cannabis culture.[citation needed] Many people refer to twenty dollars worth of cannabis as a "dub" or "dub sack."[citation needed] Once automotive rims/wheels reached 20" in diameter, people begin to refer to the wheels as doves, and later "dubs."[citation needed] There are many regional terms for expensive, aftermarket wheels, such as "feet" in Florida, "blades" in Texas, and "grown men" in the American South.[citation needed] The term "grown men" refers to the American law that makes males "grown" at the age of 21 (they can drink alcohol and attend most nightclubs).[citation needed] If the wheels are 21 inches or more, they can be considered "grown men." Rims 30 inches or bigger can be considered TUBS.[citation needed]

Some can be chrome or polished aluminum-alloy. Rims that are below 20 inches in diameter are referred to as sub-dubs, though this term maybe regional.[citation needed] "Dub-caps" refer to inexpensive, cheaply made 20 inch wheels marketed towards those who can not afford higher end models.[citation needed] The rim sizes go up to 40 inches and are usually put on big SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Tahoe.[citation needed]DUB Magazine, a popular automotive enthusiast magazine, takes its name from the term and covers material chiefly pertaining to urban vehicles and the people that own them. The magazine often features celebrities and their vehicles.

Dubs have been popularized by numerous African-American Rappers by displaying them in their music videos, for example T.I.- 24's, Three 6 Mafia - Ridin' Spinners, Dem Franchize Boyz - Ridin' Rims, Chingy - 26's ft. Lil' Wayne, Lax Boyz - Ride Like This, Rich Boy - Throw Some D's, and Master P - I Need DUBs
