    I know its not just a FL thing, but since i live here, i can only comment on it. It really bothers me to see people with oversized rims on their cars. i mean, ppl stereotype and say its black ppl that do it, but im black and i think it's so stupid. Its not a black thing, its a ghetto thing, cuz there's a lil some of every race here doing it. For instance....2 days ago i seen a white chick driving a 2 door altima with 26's, then a white dude yesterday driving a 04 style GP with 24s. i never understood it at all. I mean, have 22s on my car, but they fit in w/ no prob besides rolling the rear fenders for extra clearance. i was trying to get a pic of the GP, but my phone's battery was too low and wouldnt turn on the cam.

    was it a G body, or a W body? idk, i guess its just a pet peeve of mine. I think old school cars look ok with it, but not newer FWD cars

    i take back what i said, i think if its done right it doesnt look bad. i just remembered my friend (RIP) had 24's on a 03 impala, and it didnt look bad. he had the fenders cut back, but the car wasn't lifted much, so there was minimal wheel gap. i honestly thought they were 22s til i got close to them.

    I never have and never will understand the logic behind huge rims on cars. To me it looks retarded and I'm sure rides and handles like ****, and increases chances of theft, so WHY????? I also love the comment, "don't scratch my (insert rim size)", if you didn't have those expensive and useless rims in the first place, there would be nothing to worry about.

    If you are dead set on getting aftermarket rims, why cant you just stick to the size that came with the vehicle, and not 5"+ bigger????

    IMO just depends on the car, wheel, and how tastefully it was done. I rock 22's on my car, and no they werent more than the car, but they cost some money. Keep in mind my car isnt a GTP, just a GT. If it was a GTP id go smaller. But yes, there are some rediculous ones out there that are waaaay out there and on that note I can understand where your coming from lol.

    If its done right it looks good. Not the donks cruisin around that are lifted a foot in teh air. I think Bio posted a pic of an older camero with like 22's or 4s that were tucked and I though it lookes damm good. I live in the most ghetto part of my town, and I see big rims with missing center pieces on rust buckets all the time lol
