what the heck would you mount that on???

i could see if it was a big nobby for a 4x4, but that looks like a low profile speed rated tire.

Its for all those people that believe that function follows form...
The people that buy these want to stand out, can you picture a 24 inch rim and tires on a new Expedition, or Excusion, or better yet a 26 inch rim. Talk about a waste of money. The rims these things go on don't even look good.

Can you guess how much one of these things would cost?

Exactly!

Well, that tire cost us over $500. We sell it wholesale 12% more and we try to sell to customers 30% more. They are not cheap.

Nope, I'm the guy behind the camera. The big guy is my boss.

at my audio shop we get all of that.
you aren't nothing if you don't have dubs (20's)!!
i get guys in that spend $3000-$4000 on video systems who have 20"-22" wheels, when their car is a beat to crap 80 cutlass.
bet then i get the guys who are real audiophiles and let me work my magic, i have noticed that i'm alot less resistant to permanantly modify certain cars (porsches and such) after i picked up my 911
i have yet to see a car with 20's on it where they don't rub, you should see some of the damage these size rims cause, it's pretty scary.
oh......and 99% af all the ones i see have curb dents in the wheel, talk about a waste of money.
