Twenty Inches Strong Wheelsâ€™ new eight-spoke, three-piece wheel becomes the first in the companyâ€™s new Thirty Inches Strong Line.

geeze, remember when 20's was all the rage? run over a pebble with your 30's and they are probably ruined!i liken it to when pants got bigger and bigger legs in the 90's, it will die down eventually.

It's following the trend of HiDef TV and flat Screen TV's: Next will be 32", 46", 54", then 60". 'Dubs' will be replaced by 'SixOhs'! And of course, following the market, GM will have to build humongously larger SUV's just to fit them! Are you ready, Scherry????

I resized the 17" wheels to 176% to see what the Vibe would look like with 30s. I think we'd need to wait until someone made a 5 series tire. 225/5R30 might do it.

Talk about no power/ poor fuel mileage and burning off brakes trying to move and stop those lol.
