Some of the large diameter wheels look ok on a truck that isn't lifted and has low profile street tires, not mud tires.

They look horrible. Especially when they don't fit the vintage. There is a '69-72 Blazer here that is jacked up with 22's and low profile mudders. (where's the vomiting smilie when you need it)

I don't even want to think about those lifted cars.

i agree,this latest fad with oversize rims and low profile tires is a very ugly fad.
im surprised it's still the latest fad in wheels today.it just doesn't look good at all.
i never understood it.

Yeah. It's an open web tire. That technology has been viewable for the past 4-5 years on the internet.
