I'm looking at that picture and asking... Rubber?? What frigging rubber??

Though I see the black threads, that rear wheel looks like it hits the ground rather than the rubber.

Definitely a big tire with very low profile.. some people are

hell no, most of the "thug" people in my location are mainly blacks, mexican and other minority backgrounds. im not being racist but its very true from my expierence. skin color has nothing to do with the big rims, but its pretty common here in california/bay area that a black man likes to slap on some 20"+ rims on his car. then theirs these mexicans that try to imitate them by shopping at local autozones and purchasing those 15" spinner hubcaps

i have that caddy cts with 20" chromes too. its the blue metallic right? the rims look like adr sterlings www.adrwheels.com

I'm White... I'd Rock those so Hard...

You guys are missing the point... those guys are older then most everyone here
Back in the day, those Caddy's and Chevy's were the BOSS (slang for shizzel)

It would be like 30 years from now, you having a 02 Honda Civic in your garage.. Yeah the car would be worth $100 but its the sentimental value People... SENTIMENTAL value!

I'm 4Jacks... And I approve these rims.

imagine how much replacing tires would be...

I see those driving in phoenix a lot. Im always like, WHOA, WTF? They really arent as bad in person, they are kept clean and shiny lots of the time. I hate seeing them with the gian 22"+, and a busted paint job of 8 colors. Thats dumb, use less $$ for rims, and some for paint. My dad had a CTS on 20"s. I kept telling him to drop it, but he wouldnt, they wanted 100 bucks for like a 1.5 drop at the dealer. He spent like 4 G's on the rims though, so I think they were hookin him up if he were to drop. Would have looked soooo clean. It was the goldish color (sunburnt copper), and such a nice sounding exhaust.
