If you get 24" spinners it will run you about $20,000.

Now I remember why I avoid this particular forum like the plague...

Call me old fashioned, but I'll go for 17" 2 piece Fuchs any day of the week... 17x8 wheel, 14.5 lbs, with an anodized black finish...

(these are custom wheels, not factory)

I think those wheels look ridiculous, and that anyone who buys a wheel bigger than 18" is just wasting their money for a look. Sort of like putting stickers on you car

Show me a killer brake set-up with 20" rotor to justify the wheel size, and perhaps...

Photoshopz!

Well, this thread was started a year ago... back then I thought 26" rims would never be made. I was wrong & they seem to be creepin' up in popularity in some crowds. The sad thing is... these rims DECREASE performance! They weigh so much that the engine has to struggle more to turn them.

Give me 17" forged alloy wheels anyday and I'll :smoker2: you!

So the first one's a Photoshop as well? Thought so! I know the one I had was. And yeah, wheels seem to be getting increasingly larger, espeically with the growing popularity of SUVs - mainly in the US. Adding wheels that aren't original size to any car (even if I put 17" on my car, it has 16") affects the speeometer, gearing and several other factors.
