<VV> supersize wheels, was: More Re: Brakes grabbing

 In all fairness, big rims and low profile tires work GREAT for serious performance machines. Meaning NOT Escalades, RWD Impalas, ANY SUV, Civics, etc...

A set of 17s on a Corvair, with the PROPER tires and rim width, should enhance handling and cornering substantially.

That's exactly why I call 'em "wagon wheels". Of all the stupid fads... I'm
hoping they don't stay around any longer than (for example) the portruding
"roller skate" wheel fad, if that.
