Saw a Chevy Impala (probably 2003) with peal and stick 22"emblem on the front fender. Problem is, the car had factory rims. This isn't the first car I've seen with a large rim indicator decal but with factory rims. Never understood the desire to advertise how big are your rims.
The people impressed by rim size indicator stickers possess intelligence equal to those who apply the stickers.
So that's why they do it---to impress the right kind of people who it's important to impress. Same as getting tattoos and wearing baseball cap backwards and playing music real loud and putting a fish on the back and shaving their head but not their beard.

Some of those things are personal, and not necessarily intended to impress others. But the "Look how big my rims are, or at least how big they'd be if I wasn't a scrub" mentality is all about garnering attention, no matter how ridiculous. The same goes with gold teef, 3x sized wifebeaters on a 5'6" 130 pound person, pants that are a foot too long to begin with but are belted below the butt, etc.
Sometimes it's an unintended indicator of financial irresponsibility. A coworker, after buying his new 15 year old Lincoln, put 22" rims on it. He didn't fix the muffler hanger, but used a coat hanger that allowed the muffler to swing back and forth. He didn't fix the rust holes in the trunk, but put down a sheet of plastic used to wrap TVs in for shipping. He didn't fix the cracked windshield, which got so bad the car wouldn't pass inspection.

But he had big wheels.
Really funny! We know it wasn't the brain matter that was big, and probably nothing else a lady should mention.
