Huge Rimmed Cars=Waste of money for something that's gonna break in 2 seconds after the driver buys them.

Personally, I have to see huge rims everyday. So huge rims are gay and must be destroyed to me.

Rendered nearly undrivable, huge stress on axels and bearings, stress on engine, look idiotic.

its terrible... People are now trying to max out the rim sizes on Bently Continental GTs.

The sad thing about it is that rappers and sports stars of the NBA and NFL love to add crazy bling rims to ferraris and lamborghinis... Someone should really take all that money from them before they induce any more harm to car culture

Got that right.

Some brand, I think it was Lexani, had 40 or 42" rims at SEMA 2007. If I find the pic I will show.

That take they're money comment was a bit much. If you bought something someone didn't like, like a shirt that was offensive, then someone should just take your cash right? It's they're money, they're cars, they can do as they please to them :P
