Why is it when they do this crap and spend insane money on wheels and body work that they start with a $500 getto cruiser. At least start with a car that has some style.

I am waiting to see the weed high guys try to run this. I can just see the wheel spats protruding above the fenders.

man you guys are harsh lol. but none the less, i agree with you all. i see it everyday. we just finished a hummer H2 with 28s on it and we even lowered it 3/5. i think it looks really good. just for the record, 28s rim and tire cost around 18,500 retail.

See, that actually looks a lot better to me. Still a bit big, but a lot better. On a car, it just doesn't work. On a truck, different story. I like that Hummer. heh.... That sounds wrong.....

It is not the size that bothers me, it is the approach that someone thinks this actually looks good on that car. The 28's or the Hummer don't really look out of place. They even fit INSIDE the wheelwell. I don't care how big they are as long as they proportionally fit the vehicle. The fact of the matter I did not even know 28's were out yet! I thought 26's were the king. I think I will drag out the wooden wagon, chrome the wheels, and show it. I think it has 48's on it. Lets see them top that!

Slownova, what kind of shop do you work at?

Mike

I guess they will build anything now if you pony up the cash. I wanna see those 30's under a 2 ton Kodiak in the weeds!

I think suvs look good with the big rims I remember when I got my 24's on my Escalade like 3 years ago they were huge then but now...they are common..
My next suv Hummer H1 (the real hummer) will have 22's with some 40" Mud Terrains
