I was at the tyre shop today to get new 16" alloys fitted with brand new M&S tyres for the winter months.
A bargain at $600,- I thought.
Anyway while I was there, the sales manager of a large alloy wheel company pulls up with a BMW X5 with 22" forged alloy wheels, you ouldn't believe the looks!
He told me these wheels sell at $2800,- a piece !
With the tyres it almost totals $ 12000,-!!!!!!!!!!

Man!!!!!

With bigger wheels, while they look good, I'd be worried about all that extra unsprung weight screwing up the handling
