Local Huge Rims Trend?

Post by k3nny »

I started with 18" wheels for my first 406 modification, then currently i'm going for 19". but lately i'm not satisfied with the size (altough i'm starting to feel backpain because of the low tyre profile) and wanting bigger size.

anybody have information on the biggest rim ever fitted to 406? in jakarta we have one guy shoved a 20" into his 406.

I suspect the jeep belongs to the owner of the wheel shop in the background. I also surmise that he still has the full set of Hot Wheels toys at home :cheesy:

Yeah we have it down here in Sydney!

Mostly people putting 20's on Chrysler 300c's....It's a real "I have more money than taste" statement! Most of the euro people down here put BBS, AMG wheels on their cars but you are starting to see some people stick 20's on E36 318i's....again, not a good look :P

Yeah but the thing is that lowering the car on anything less than 16's can make the car look out of proportion! There is one running around Sydney on 16's and slammed and it looks pretty silly to be honest, deffers not my cuppa tea!
