my oppinion with stockies you can rip a skid go on gravel hit a curb and you dont care 60 bucks for brand new tyres on stockies compared to like 250 + youd be to scared to even reverse it out of the driveway 20s dont benefit you at all they just they are simply just 'sic mate'

Alternatively, you could learn to drive. Then you wouldn't have to be worried about the rims ;)

One other benefit of larger wheels is that larger brakes can be fitted - please nobody start about "fiiting brakes into 22" rims.

On that note a disadvantage of bigger wheels is making your standard brakes look tiny :(

On the plus side its easy to clean the inside of the rim :D

It's cheating if you don't clean inside the rims. It's like only washing the outside of the toilet... The worst sh*# is inside!
