More than likely a 30" wheel will weigh more than a 30" tire..... I just cant imagine. Either way its just a personal preference I guess.... it's their car afterall. The only thing I really question in why sacrifice safety for something like that.. but I guess bling is more important to them

The reason people put on "big knobby" tires is to make their trucks perform better off road.. you gain NOTHING by putting 28's on your car. instead you loose braking distance, and handling. This argument is stupid. Also, big tires are filled with air, they don't weigh nearly as much as your "mirrors" dawg.

Maybe because shit happens on the road everyday and you want to be able to stop at in a decent manner so you dont ram into the person in front of you? These wheels make a huge difference in stopping, if that is too hard for you to understand then I dont know what else to say...... that is just NOT safe for daily driving, PERIOD. You have to be an idiot to argue otherwise.

Just wait for some Congressman's kid to get in a wreck with those "baller" wheels, they'll then pass legislation against them.

30's on a Denali make as much sense as monster truck wheels on a H2 that will never see mud and is equal to a "tuner" car with 700hp that will never see the track.
It's for looks/style/bragging rights....not safety, not "functionality"....it's for looks, plain and simple.
It's the same reason why people spend small fortunes on JDM parts for old shitty cars like mine instead of domestic stuff that does the same job. It's so people can say "I have it, and you don't, now envy me."
It is just rims after all. Just reallllllly f*ckin huge ones! haha
