“Driving around LA for a few years, I’ve seen quite a bit of Excursions and Suburbans with huge shiny chrome rims wrapped around 10-series rubber bands.”
Remember that House if Dubs a visitor mentioned recently? There’s an early '70s Impala on the lot most days that looks great - except that it’s on these huge rims with the same rubber bands. Those wheels must be well over 20". It almost needs a step bar the door sill is so high. I’m sure the owner loves them. Everyone has their own aesthetics.
