    Whole heartedly agree. Too small, too big, too stupid.

    Here in the Midwest...you can buy those with food stamps. Really...you can!!!


    All of the North Minneapolis Homies drive around in rusty, beat-to s**t vehicles and can't pay their child support or rent. But they got those rusty buckets 3 feet in the air with those wheels.

    They look rediculous.

    Definitely not a fan of ridiculously over-sized wheels; stock or only a touch bigger.

    Big wheels remind me of ridiculous hoodlums, every time I see big wheels I think someone's going to hop out of the car and their pants will be hanging off, underwear showing, etc.

    The images posted don't help the cars much, the cars are probably screaming in pain for their old stock wheels. Poor cars.

    Small stick, big wheels? Inferiority complex gone nuts. Looks dumb. And if you consider where the money could be better spent, even dumber.

    Just my opinion...Why go with the"Godzilla Rims" when you could go with Abrams M1 Tank Treads
    or... maybe Sea Plane Pontoons...or Lunar Module Landing Skids or Rollerblade casters or...?

    Increased rim size at the factory means fender openings will fit the tire/rim combination.
    When the overall radius of the wheel/tire is larger than the fender opening, the symmetry is all lost .

    Its funny that manufacturers are still running 26"-27" tires with larger rim size. I like both.

    This tag says it's "stupid modern rims". I think it's bad-ass.

    I agree fill the fenders that's the stopping point. You can go low profile though and still do this.

    I'm getting older, and they still look good to me. I do prefer my 15s for the strip though.
