Some of these *fads* come and go, so I think, for personal enjoyment, do what ever blows up your skirt (within the law !!!). This IS America !!!!

Talking about *gaudy* ...

What about those rims that had spinners on them that kept spinning after you stop .... ???

And to think I felt excessive when I bought my $35 full set of 8 lug steelies off craigslist. Cleaned them up and painted them black, threw the chrome center caps on and its good enough for me.

I like big rims but when there's enough wheel gap to put my whole head through the gap, that's just ugly.

In 30 years of driving customs and hot rods, I've never hit a curb. But then again, if I spend time, effort, and money on my cars, I tend to actually pay attention and be careful while driving. My current daily driver has 19" whels with short sidewalls. Hasn't been a problem.

Yes, some of those obviously have hydraulics but they won't look any better on the ground IMO!
