A sad example.

Wheels worth more than car = kill yourself.

These rims look like Rolling Stones to me... What's their size? 21"?

That car would look 10x better with the same wheels, but on 17" or 18"....

1. I personally hate chrome.
2. 20+" is overkill, 19" with decent drop is much better.
3. not a penny worth w/ that "hub cup look alike"

The wheels look terrible and way too large.

But not as terrible as the owner's name emblazened in diamonds on the gold caps of his/her front teeth.

100%

I guarantee those are rubbing when taking corners and going over bumps. Also, the speedo and odo are going to be way off.

Those rims belong on a ghetto banger truck or Cadillac.

Maybe not. I'll bet that a hydraulic suspension setup lets it "jump" over the bumps.

last night I was leaving a basketball game and a guy in a I 35 was tucking 22's. I couldnt get my camera phone out quick enough. I saw the wheels and said to myself "way bigger than 20's" and pulled up and saw those dumb diamond size emblems on the side saying 22's. The thing was the dude was tucking both front and rear and car looked lowered not that lifted truck look like this one. I cant speak for rub, ride, what he screwed up to get them on, but I will say it lactually looked good.

"those dumb diamond size emblems on the side saying 22's"

Ive been seeing those a lot lately. So stupid. In fact the other day, I was sitting in traffic, and I see a Maxima next to me with "20inch" written by the front fender. Best part was, he had the stock 16" rims on. WTF? I dont think he got why I was laughing at him.

Once again, another example of a man trying to overcompensate for an inadequate ***** size would be my guess!
