I thought 28's were the biggest, guess not anymore. I personally want some 50's for my S. I wanna be able to not only blow by the competition but run over them when I am done. I know they actually market 28" tires for the H2 now. Those rims must add 300 pounds to the car. Must make the brakes wear fast. Anyways, bling barf

Yup, real. I thought I'd seen a car just like the green one around here in Miami. Then I looked at the poster's location and he's from Miami also, so that has to be the same car. There's actually a few cars like that around here. I'll try to take some nice pics this week.

Ya gotta love Miami

hehe, i work for a tire shop as a mechanic. we get escalades and suburbans come in with no brakes left after 15k miles from the vehicle trying to stop itself with those heavy ass wheels on it. what a waste...and i hate chrome. looks guady, and screams "look at me!! im a freakin loser who spent way to much money on rims!! if i hit a pothole, im screwed!! dont steal them!!"

oh, and manufacturers wont warranty any suspension or brakes if a truck comes in with wheels like that. i dont blame them.

The only issue I have with it is the rear wheel in the back on one of the pics looks like it has been cut and pasted, then chopped into place -- but the pavement was not blended to match perfectly.
