Oh man that's sad. I've seen some cars out here in Michigan that have the huge ~22" rims on the older Monte Carlos or Chevelles and I think they are horrible looking but good god - who and why would you do that???

They are basically like life-size HotWheels on crack!!
22" rims are small for these cars. Most of them in the pics have 24", 26" and up.
Obviously, not all car fads are practical, feasible or even reasonable but I'm sure those rim manufacturers are loving this one. Many of those rims are upwards of $10K+ per set!
Do you think front and rear sway bars would make any difference taking corners in one of these things??

Does anyone know just where and why this style came about? I have an idea, but just saying it could get edgy by some standards; sure don't want to "dis" anyone.Rrumbler, Aka: Hey you, "Old School", Hairy, and other unsavory monickers.

The only thing worse than the Donks is a good, trail capable Jeep tricked out Donk fashion with wagon wheel rims and rubber band tires. It's just wrong, kind of against the rules of nature

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
