Fly or Why? Wagon Wheels
By Sean O'Hara
In my opinion, they offer all the look of Big Foot without any of the function. Hint: when someone builds a car they need a rope ladder to crawl into, there’s an expectation that it’ll do something interesting. Looking at this we just can’t imagine what that would be.
These 40″ wagon wheels are just too big to handle anything on the street to say nothing of high center of gravity and cornering. Truthfully taking a perfectly good vehicle and going “little house on the prairie” just doesn’t strike us as a good idea.
But what do you think? Big style or big mistake? Let us know in comments.

every fashion element eventually gets taken to it’s extreme. Like tail fins or bell bottoms.

Oh the horror! My eyes can’t take it. These are the people that are going to get aftermarket wheels made illegal. Check out http://www.semasan.com/ for more information on how big government is trying to outlaw aftermarket wheels.

Wow, that is just…wow. First of all, who makes rims like that? And who makes the tires for them? Some cottage industry companies should be burned to the ground.

The whole Sedan on monster truck wheels was one thing but who decides to switch up to wagon wheels thinking it’ll be an improvement?! I can’t wait to see the next evolution, spinnner wagon wheels with backlit LCDs.

I seriously question the ability of 80s GM brake technology to stop rotating mass that large.
I can’t imagine just how badly that thing must feel. Wagon wheels? At least wagon wheels were narrow. More like steel train wheels. Talk about tramlining, that thing must give new meaning to the idea of handling “like its on rails!”

What. The. Hell.
Yeah, really odd there. At least it probably drives like it looks, awful.
