Thread: Always 1 Bigger

    Always 1 Bigger

    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
