Hahaha nope not at all, personally I don't care who likes what I do to my truck. And like I said I've had them all from 15's to 22's and going back with 22's. It just annoys the heck out of me when people talk about other's choices or down them because of them. Calling someone else a name because they're doing something you yourself wouldn't do just shows your true character.

I never called that dude who put 26's on his truck a "name" all I said was that his truck probably rides like a tractor



And don't act all self righteous, I bet you've talked chit about someone's car/truck in your lifetime.

Oh no doubt I have said a vehicle was ugly or I wouldn't do something thats on it to mine. I will always say if I like or dislike something, infact there's an mid 90's white Aero around here with green stripes down it that I think is ugly as sin. But I'm not going to call the person retarded or stupid for it.

And I wasn't trying to single you out, and wasn't even refering to you about calling them names, I would have to go back and read but I don't recall you calling anyone a name. Was refering to the other's who was literally calling people who put 24's and 26's on stupid or retarded or however they worded it.

Lol not at all man, everyone has their own likes and dislikes and I definately understand yours. The ride quality is a little better with more sidewall and definately less weight. But thats why I keep my stocks for the track myself, have the looks on the streets and performance for the track.

Big rims are only "stupid" in the sence of anyone putting that large of a wheel on (24'" and bigger) when trying to achieve max performance. Nothing wrong with rolling around on some big rims, just personally not my style. This is the reason why I personally switch to my smaller 18s with 30" tire when I plan on going to the track. My 20s with 31.5" tire are consistantly .1-.2 slower in the 1/8mi.

20-22 aren't that big anymore considering most stock vehicles come with them. They don't help with drag racing, but can allow for much better handling. I pretty much like anything 22 and under considering its purpose.

The 24s and up are just absurd looking. But they sell like crazy, just not to people like me.
