Has anyone else noticed a trend by car enthusiasts to move away from larger rims, and back towards smaller rims, larger profile tyres?
It's an impression I have that is occasionally reinforced by what I see turning up for sale, but it could also just be the economy forcing people to turn their wheels back into cash.

I think you should make period appropriate choices with regard to wheel/tire ratios. Soarers came out when 16 inch wheels were something a bit special. They look silly running around on 20's.
Also more reasonable side profiles cost less. I was quoted $245 per tire for pilot sport 3's. I know these become unaffordable in lower profiles and I want good tires.

I've recently replaced michelin pilot sport with kuhmo ?? ku19 maybe. one rear Michelin was over $500. All 4 kuhmos for $620 at tympe tyres. Personaly the Kuhmos are better, regardless of price. I'm shocked.
