Was driving down the freeway on the way to work tonite & passed a brand new maroonish/pinkish Audi A4 with the biggest set of F*#K Off rims I've ever seen.
They were at least 20inch if not more.
The only thing was that the car looked a bit like a 4WD coz I guess he couldn't lower it due to the wheel arch diameter.
Crazy all the same.
Is there a limit you need to draw? :?
**Just thought I'd start a new thread as it's 2:30am & I'm bored @ work. - Not that anyone's gonna reply at this time of the night**

there is a limit - its looks vs practicality!
i've got 17's as they were the biggest in my design i could get at the time (they later released 18's...bah) but i'd love to upgrade to a set of 19's...
but that takes money, and 5 stud hubs, and then you have the problem of pencil-thin rubber on Melbournes average roads to keep your speedo accurate...
and the bigger rims you've got, the more likely you are to breaking your gearbox because of the higher stresses involved with more rotational mass etc and grip levels
so in the end i'm reasonably happy with 17s!
