This topic is one of the few that actually drives me a little crazy. This is my peace. Saying that big wheels look ghetto, ridiculous, etc... followed by a picture of some crazy car with 28" rims that have no reasoning behind them other than Bling factor, is ridiculous in itself. I don't see anyone referencing a picture like the one below when stating big wheels are ugly. Why? Because this car looks bad *** with 20" out back and 18" up front. We also know its' potential for handling is greatly increased. Like anything els, its all about the quality and finished product. The car below would look terrible with those rims if it were raised 6" front and rear. Its cool if you dig smaller wheels. Thats yoyur opinion. Trying to make it sound so matter a fact is a little much. There is a reason most concept cars, both conceptual drawings and models, tend to have larger wheels on them. They look better. Its all about aesthetic balance. Just like any painting, sculpture or building. This is a design basic. Certain proportions are proven to be more appealing to humans. Designers are highly aware of what is pleasing to the eye. Its their job. Its much more scientific than most might think. Obviously my preference is for bigger rims, but I can appreciate a classic 14" or 15". I'm not gonna run around and say they look like **** and they are for old geezers. Really? Thats what it sounds like when you say they are ghetto, etc, etc.... If you think big wheels never look good on classics or custom hotrods, do a quick Google image search for Ridler Award Winners. You will be hard pressed to find a car with something less than 18". There is a reason for that too. My 2cents. LOL
Perspective. Its that simple.
