Holy Crap !!! I had no idea, there were bigger rims yet..

I think those are referred to as "Donks", which is just insane..

This is like back tires on choppers, I think the widest now is a 380mm wide..

I didn't even think they made rims that big!! It's insane! I don't know why anyone would ever want to do that to their car. IMO, it looks so stupid. It makes it look like a nice car wannabe. Some of them probably sit higher up than a truck! To each their own... but I don't like them at all (especially the McDonald's one.... red wheels??) LOL

Yea man but the "Fat Back" on the bikes look wicked and I imagine contact with that much rubber helps the grip and propulsion ...I mean I have no real knowledge but I can look at it and see a point ya know?

That looks so frakking stupid. I can't even begin to put into words just how dumb that looks. Sweet jeebus. As much money as those "rims" cost, they could have bought a very nice real car that won't tip over when turning at parking lot speeds or have to be brought to a complete stop for a speed bump.

Anyone see "Idiocracy"? We are soooooo close.

Seems to me they are generating just the response they want. To us, they are outrageous, not conforming to automotive norms, and rediculous looking. Well, that's the point! They want to do something different. The original hot rodders had the conservative establishment all up in arms because the cars were chopped up and FAST! Anyone can have a fast car today, so social disobedience takes on different trappings.

All that said, it's still UGLY!!!
