Good to see how you managed to fit them in, but each to their own I think it looks ridiculous.

They're not for everyone that's for sure, but then I did a double take when I first saw a Cobra with 17" wheels. Now that size is the norm for most builders, because of the availability of better tyres and brakes, with only historic tragics sticking with 15s.

As has been said often on this forum, our cars are what we make of them. To each his own. Personally I wouldn't go to the extreme tyre size on this car --- but then I'm not the owner, who is free to do as he wishes.

I fully agree with you Donunder, and I will go as far as to say that any form of feedback should be based on personal opinion only and non critical i.e. "I don't really like the look of that myself" as opposed to a critical comment such as "it looks ridiculous" even under the guise of "to each his own"!!
Just my thoughts on the matter..

That's what makes us human, the ability to individualise our thoughts based on our own perceptions.. Perception is reality after all.
For me in pretty much everything I do it is always about the engineering, this is what drives me; I'm not so much about the wow factor or not..
That said, It's probably a good thing that the owner of this car is not on this forum as he might have something to say in his defence as to why he feels these tyres are in his perspective really nice to look at and not "ridiculous", which I know is how he feels about this set up..

It looks like the wheels and tyres on the bat mobile. Love it. The fatter the better.
