First in the world?

There is some goon in this area that I often see driving through downtown in his LeSabre on 32" wheels.

Big wheels have always looked ghetto to me. I am not impressed by them. In fact I dont even like factory made OEM 20s or larger for SUVs, etc. They are just tacky, uncomfortable and are magnets for CURB RASH.

Not interested.

Was just in Turks and Caicos (Caribbean) and a 'thing' over there is old grand marquis on giant ~24 wheels. One of them had a sticker that said 'panty dropper' on it.

I mean, you literally couldn't make yourself look more retarded. They all go like 1 mph over the speed bumps, and since half the roads aren't even paved they can't even drive to most places.

Ghetto/gang/thug culture is such a joke. Embarrassing the entire race.

Yeah, but you do know that some of the folks that just looked at those wheels are thinking to themselves,"damn, where can I get me some of those wheels"

It makes no sense, it tends to reduce performance, and the wheels and tires cost a crap ton more than nice wheels and tires.

It's in the same league as the schmucks that need about 10,000W of audio power in a car...

Pretty sure I've heard of 40's.

Biggest I've personally encounted is like 28, maybe. 24 is the biggest I've seen on a car with 'only' a small lift kit.

There are some limits that just have no reason to be pushed.

Rear wheel well (part of the bumper cover) is cut out crooked on the OP car. Bush league.

Well, I don't know about wheels, but 34" tires are old. Very old.

I can't imagine it would be hard to fit 34" wheels on there.
