I know there is a certain amount of engineering advantage to large wheels and short sidewalls.

However there has also been a fashion statement of the 'bling' wheels that has mushroomed over a decade or more (insert pic of Chevy with 48" wheels).

What does PPOT think of new cars coming out with big wheels and skinny side walls, fashion of functions?
