It really doesn't need to be said, it can be seen - 24 in rims ARE extremely big. This is because they are made for vehicles that are just as big - like the Bronco. However, people are always trying to make their cars "bigger and better" than those of their neighbors, so they often put them on cars whose stock tires and rims are of average size - causing their idea to be stopped in its tracks. Can your car somehow be rigged so you CAN drive it with big rims? And, what kind of cars could you jazz up with them?

Well, first things first. You should know that regular and compact cars can't hold these rims properly due to differences in structure and design between their normal sized rims and the extra large ones. In fact, placing them on your vehicle without taking the proper precautions is to ask for a possible roll-over on the freeway - or a frozen steering wheel that causes you to have an accident. To prevent this from happening, you will need to have special modified tires put on your particular car, so they can accommodate the rims.

Now that you know how to prime your vehicle for them, here is a quick list of just a few of the cars you can "spice up" with those bad boys. (Keep in mind that what may look great to you, might not look too appealing to someone else.)

The Station Wagon - A longtime symbol of the stability of family life, this automobile can be decked out with giant rims. And the next time Mom drives to a PTA meeting to meet with the teachers, she can distract their attention away from Johnny's slipping grades - and redirect it to a vehicular phenomenon they never thought they'd be witnessing.

The AMC Gremlin - This poor little car needs to get the last laugh for once - if only to make up for all the taunts it's taken over the years. What better way for you to help it thumb its nose from a loftier position then by adding big wheel tire packages? Then plan to take off down the street with your stereo blasting and laugh at all those other boring-looking car owners, who've always held themselves above your humble little car in the automobile pecking order.

The Chevrolet Chevelle - You probably won't find many people who will argue that if any car was ever made for 24 inch rims, it's the old Chevelle of decades past. In fact, it's almost a rite of passage for a person to witness this beauty take off in a flash of light at least once during his lifetime. Who can ever forget the sound of a huge motor roaring as this muscle car blasts down a road - it's huge rims spinning so fast it makes one dizzy to watch it?

A Hearse - Yes, this is one of the more bizarre big rim ideas - but maybe an idea whose time has come. Consider this - if the funeral you are planning is for a loved one who loved to "live" outrageously, why not deck out the hearse transporting him with extra big rims and special tires - and make his final send off a real blast that won't soon be forgotten. You may start a trend with people, and in this way, bring a glimmer of light to an otherwise very sad occasion.
