There is one fella though with a early 70s Impala convertible...he's rollin a set of 24s that fill up those wheelwells on that land yacht...glossy teal blue paint job and white leather interior...that is one stylin ride in anyones book. Keep her clean and watch the potholes thumbsup
I have to say its different not my cup of tea but hey. At least it's not like this

Living in Gonzales TX is like little Mexico so I see all the natives with biiig bling rims on every thing that rolls,I can't say I approve but it's your car and whatever style you like is OK I just think these cars look good with 17-18's but hey what do I know.Chico.

lol thats too much rim for me, I personally dont like the car to be "sittin on top" of the rim, like it "stuffed" in the well.

That is ridiculous looking. Sorry, just my opinion. I fail to see any positives of the big rims on a vehicle. UNLESS it's a truck or SUV you intend to go off road with.

opinions are like A**holes, everyone has one and they usually stink... I didnt buy 22's to impress people who dont like big rims. all the nay sayers should read the title of the thread before you jump in and leave a post on what you dont like.. get your weight up son cause
its hard being me.
My hats off to all the real homies who loved it and gave encouragement to push the envolope with 22s and I hope yall turning 20's or betta cause these haters are getting stronger everyday. keep it big and mean mug everyone who ridin' on rollerskates.

ok, I think this thread should be closed, or ppl need to lay off 2muchspl. His car, his money, his choice. 2muchspl, I'd like to remind you that ppl are NOT attacking you or your preferences. Lets not let this place turn into our sister-site.

Hey different strokes for different folks people.

If you want to put 22s on your car - and you can swing the crazy $$$ - I say more power to you!

I'd rather see a blinged out ride (GPs included) rather than a PEPBOYs or APC modded ride (lol y'know you've seen those!) :-P

I saw an older Monte Carlo with HUGE rims today.

I was going to take a pic for you guys but I didn't swing by there again.

Check out the rag "Donk" It's dedicated to that type of car. They actually make lift kits for them so those big wheels will fit under the car.
