How big is too big?
I just put new 18" wheels on my ride, and those bad boys are BIG!
I upsized from my stock 15's for performance reasons. I wanted a shorter sidewall for better cornering. There is a plethora of good tires out there for 18" rims as well.
So if 18" wheels are good in terms of performance, would 19" be better? What about 20 or 21" or bigger? Seems like the rim would get too heavy if too large, but would the extremely short sidewall help cornering ability and make up for the weight?
In terms of looks, I tend to think my 18's are big enough. I know some serious builders like Foose use huge wheels, but IMHO at some point they just don't look right.
