    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.

    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...
