I had this conversation with my son a coupla weeks ago as we were
passing a house with a "Box" with a blue metalflake paint job on blocks
out behind it, I had seen it there for quite some time with the big
chrome rims, etc. then recently on blocks. I supposed that the rim
store had come and repoed them when the guy couldn't keep up with
payments (you can get them on credit, just make a monthly payment, rent
to "own"). So I asked him why he thought this particular trend was
popular in a certain demographic, if it was a personal satisfaction
thing, to show off to his buddies, or to appear to be more attractive to
the ladies.
He believed quite sincerely that it was to be more attractive to the
ladies. A car with big rims was the key, not a job, education, nice
house, etc. I don't know but it sorta made sense, and he is probably
more in tune with it than I am.

From the posting: "Wow 28" rims 1200 dollars"
Wow is right. Why would anyone spend that kind of money on rims which
require tires so thin they and the rim will be damaged going over common
bumps in the road?
