Just to add Most of these people that have anything over a 19 inch rim do not understand that you chew up your brakes faster then having a smaller tire size and you only get 15,000 to 19,000 miles out of your tires that cost from 150.00 a tire to 400 man i can buy 4 15 for 435.00 and they get 65--70,000 miles To days people are so wasteful

First, let me say I'm not a bored member chiming in, but...
You will have to explain to me the "wasting brakes" you referenced. But for the record, I'm not a fan of anything over 20" rim either.

I knew a Mail Man (Postal Carrier) in Dallas that commented to me once about the consistency in the houses he delivered welfare checks and government payment checks to, were usually the houses with all the hooptee rims (as he called them) on the cars sitting in the driveway. He would say "I wonder how many government checks it took to buy those rims?". It made him so mad.
