Thoughts & opinions on big rims ?

[jocko]

I like two wheel sizes. 15x6 AND 15x7....

Just kidding. Well, kinda, I guess. I like 15x8's also.

Concur with the sidewall discussion. IMO, the sidewall proportion is what matters, not the wheel diameter. An example - I once purchased a 65 Impala with 15X8 vette rallies on it - BUT, the PO had 255/50/15s on the FRONT. Looked ridiculous (looked teenie in the wheelwell, etc). So I switched to 215/70/15 up front with 275/60/15 out back. Seemed right for me anyway (stance/sidewall/rake/wheelwell fill).

But then again, that is what it all comes down to - personal preference. Some folks obviously like the o-ring tires on 22's - and they put incredible amounts of effort in on their really nice trucks/cars - and they are rightfully proud of their accomplishment. But some like stock dia wheels, some like hoops. Neither is wrong.

I could look at it 2 ways I guess -
1. Variety is the spice of life, so it's all good....
2. If others didn't occasionally have bad taste, then how would I know my taste was so good!?

You can choose your perspective.

Interesting subj/thread, thanks for posting!
