    Im just not a fan of huge wheels on cars in general. theres a guy done the street with a true 96 ss impala with 26's on it looks retarded and i dont even want to know what his gas milage looks like.

    I have seen some cars with tastefull 20's that look good and if your cars a show car go for it but the big rims tear up your suspension and brakes and trannys if they arent designed for that heavy of a rim.

    Hell theres a guy at school has 22's on a 06 impala and wonders why his gas mileage is lower then when he first bought it.

    Too each there own though i guess

    That's just the problem. It's NOT "to each their own" in my eyes. "Looks good" is all too often confused with/means "looks like it fits in with the current trend". People just don't realize it. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, no one could possibly think 20" rims or above looks good on ANY car. I mean, come on. The thing literally looks like a wagon, or carriage that's missing its horses. What people with such cars subconsciously mean to say when they tell you "it's my taste" is that it's the taste of the month for the area they reside in. Basically, more puppets following a temporary trend instead of developing, or allowing their own tastes to come through.

    These forums are for anyone with a grand prix that would like to mod their car yet people like this are constantly bashing those of us that do have 20s. This whole quote... B.s. I like my rims because THEY LOOK GOOD not because people in society like big rims. Every other thread on this site, I have to defend the fact that I like 20s. Still think I did it because everyone likes 20s? That's honestly the dumbest shiv I've heard on this forum yet. Sorry man, but this is ridiculous and you need to think before you talk on these forums.

    ps. In my area, big rims are not popular. Ricers with little rims and tires are the trend. have been for 4 or 5 years. Tell me I have these rims to be like everyone else?

    I'm all about thinking, self-introspection and analyzing, which in turn leads to ideas and realizations that are not of the norm. That's why my opinions and perceptions are usually unorthodox, thus, are often not accepted. This doesn't make them any less truthful, nor does your inability or refusal to see or understand them. Yes, I do still 100% believe your opinions are being subconsciously fed to you (just as most people's opinions on most subjects are), but I'm not going to go off on a tangent with an elaborate explanation of how this happens in this thread, as it would be way off topic. I'll leave that discussion for when I finish typing my "matrix world philosophy".

    Have never seen any where I live (although I may see a few at the GM Nationals this weekend). When I went down to Nashville, TN 2 months ago, I must of seen about 1/2 dozen...

    Even one or two shops with that being what they specialized in...

    I edited his post. And I removed the comment from your quote as well. Hope you dont mind.

    I understand what you are saying, unfortuately it is "stereotyped" to two ethnic groups unfortuately, but don't worry, there are plenty of other people, including white folks, who know how to screw up their rides quite nicely with junk like this

    Hey Big I edited your quote as well. I hope you dont mind. Some people just don't know when to stfu I guess. I think we both know unfortuately what he was referring to As I stated in a post above this, all ethnic groups know how to F*up a car! Everyone just has their special way I suppose.

    I could give a ton of different stereotypes on that topic, but we don't need to go there lol. It would take forever to list them ALL!
