Tonight I was heading home down the famous 8 mile and there was two younger guys in a pimped out supercharged Buick Riviera with what looked liked 20's on it. They were taking off from the lights like they really had something. I caught up to them at one light and made toast of them. They then wanted to do it again, I guess they didn't believe what just happened. So I toasted them again. They then slowed down and stayed behind me. Gotta love beating these kids that think they got something.
 
What those dummies with the big wheels don't realize is when they put them on they just lost most of there off line power. But on the good side they get a little better gas mileage.
 
When I do have my 20"s on, which is not too often, They are only 1/2 inch taller than my stock wheels and tires.
So as far as gear ratio, they are pretty much the same as stock.


Of course they weigh a lot more than my steelies. :lol:

Tycoons, I know what kind of entertainment you were looking for!!!
 
I just don't understand the people who do this type of stuff to their car. It doesn't even look cool, and it just looks stupid to me, but to each their own I say. Every pound of reciprocating weight equals about 7lbs, so as heavy as those rims probably were, it's like adding a whole bunch of extra weight to your car as well.
