yeah i like the look of lo pros and small rims on newer big cars just don't look right. If i saw some guy with 15's on a vette i would laugh in his face. I'm out see you guys tommorrow.

If that was true how come a 6,000 lbs truck with front brakes hauling 5,000 lbs with no anti-lock brakes can stop with no problem and fit 15" rims. It my roommates truck. Here's a picture of it.

But you have to argue that you see more classic muscle cars with larger wheels now... 16s, 17s, 18s... when they get sold on the show block. Think of the time those cars were made, 15" was one of the largest rims you could get, and most of them were steel. Now, with great technology in automated CNC's and better quality standards, larger rims are everywhere because of it. Smaller-profile tires are molded cheapr due to practice and industry standards to accomodate the demand. The fact is, a bigger rim and lower-profile tire will increase handling. It will hurt acceleration somewhat... but the amount of acceleration killed in a Neon from it is somewhat significant. The amount of acceleration in a new Challenger from the bigger rims is not even noticeable, because of the heavy torque/weight ratio of the car itself. And bigger cars can benefit from much better tires and better handling wherever they can get it.

The only place I appreciate ORIGINAL ORIGINAL, is the guys that do their cars like on the Barret-Jackson auto-block... THOSE cars are awesome. But if your car isn't better than new, opt for every angle of overall performance you can get!
