Alignment, Brakes, Suspension components (All of them, ball joints, bushings, Everything) , TRANSMISSION...SPEEDOMETER.. Everytime you ride by a repair shop they're Drooling . Can't Wait for your ass to bring in that 3k car on 5k worth of Rim.
Dumb statement. His first point on price and value are spot on. Also the size of rims people get can be stupid. If you have a old car that’s a POS. Rims will help you sell it.
Actually his 1stvsatement is absolutely incorrect. We aren't in the 50s any more rims add value to a vehicle look it up. Don't go off what your grand daddy told you. There fore if they add value, they gave to have value
@@ottobauner9828 I’d agree with you if we’re talking “designer rims”. Or like I said if the car is worth less.I do know what you mean though. It has value to someone. Just not you when re selling.
@@jesusthug the truth is all rims he is speaking of 22" up are designer rims. The fact still remains that rims/wheels have always and will always effect sale/resale value. This even goes for factory wheels/rims. For instance. The 2020 camaro. They offer 30 different wheel option some are standard on one model but an upgrade on another. They range from 18" -20" wheels. And can change the price of the car from 1000 to 3500. They also affect resale value hence why kbb and nada have options steel, factory alloy, and premium wheels. Premium wheels being aftermarket. They all effect the value of the vehicle
Lamont Boucherville People have a lot of outdated ideas about wheels. Cars a coming factory with 20 inch wheels these days. 22’s are no problem. Been daily driving my car three years with the same set. Rides like the factory 19’s it came on.
I’ve always had custom stuff. When buying rims.. I always keep my stock wheels to put back on the vehicle when I want to trade it in or sell. If you are spending money on some custom wheels, you should think about how bad you want them and will they look good on another vehicle? In other words, don’t buy wheels and sell them. Keep them for later. I promise you that you will use them later. I also never buy rims that’s too big.. meaning if you have to cut into the car to get the wheels to fit, that means the rims are too big. That will devalue your car if you plan to sell. I personally never go above 22s on my cars. If I had an SUV I would do 24s Or 26s
I agree with you on anything past 22 inches. You can ride 22’s without a problem if you got the right tire. The entire diameter of a 22 compared to a 20 with tires isn’t that big of a difference. The big difference is the transfer of energy to the shocks and body because the low pro tire on the 22 has a different design within the belt of the tire itself
I don't agree nor disagree. To properly put wheels on your car you'll need top keep the same diameter as the tire. Any professional shop will tell you this. Example; a factory 20 with tire that has a diameter of 28 = the plus 1 plus 2 rule. Therefore, add an inch to the wheel and minus an inch from the tire while keeping the same diameter to 28 (per my example). That's a proper rim swap.
All facts. I used to sell cars and it was a headache trying to sell cars with rims because you have reduced the number of people that will buy the car. Most people don't want rims because they know aftermarket modification can have a plethora of issues. About 5 years after the charger came out we couldn't keep them on the lot. We got one in on 24's, it was very nice looked new with low mileage and we had to end up sending it to auction because no one would touch it.
Mechanic here. A lot of valid and true points made there. I run rims but stick with no bigger than 20 or 22” and thats on a v8 truck or full size suv only. Even a lot of 22s they are so much heavier than the stock wheels than the vehicle has been designed around and suspension and brake systems are set up to handle load wise. Significantly Increased rotating mass when your wheel is a lot heavier it physically slows down the vehicle it slows down the braking distances and it wears shocks and suspension quicker no doubt as you mentioned. the tires can be a lot more expensive as well. Suspension in proper working order and a dialed in alignment are musts to save those tires too.
I remember the reverse back in the 90's with the Rims called Baby Dayton's, some people still use them and when they stick out past the fenders it messed up Struts , ball joints, bearings the whole geometry. I don't know how many Mercedes BMW's I saw wrecked cause front ends broke
He don't get it do he. Upgrading rims within the vehicle's specs or with proper modifications. Will not only get you more money for the car, but it will be sold a lot faster as well. Real talk. Facts.
@@RyeAlvaro the 20s are fine. It's when the number jumps pass the operation and specs of the design without proper adjustment of the vehicle. And those who are trying to impress others tend to waist money on doing things to a vehicle that someone else might not dig. Like I said when I sold cars, the "pimpn" of the car yeil no extra value.
@@georgemason4921 Yeah bro i used to sell cars also and the cars with the rims were always harder to sell because on insurance and once you've put those rims on it you reduce the number of people that are willing to buy it.
the brother is right but 22inch alloy Wheel are not as heavy as chrome I think 20 to 22inch are safe and even better when your not using it as a work vehicles
Everyrhing he is saying is that he doesnt take care of his car because you going to need suspension work tire rods and stuff for your car whether your rims are big or small. Plus new cars are standard with 22". This guy should just say why he couldnt afford to ride rims
I don’t disagree. Actually you helped me to not want to get rims more! I already thought about when I get my crown Vic what would happened if I set the 22’s on would it mess up my transmission and on how everything would’ve gone so I want to say thanks brother I’ll just go with the custom stock and tuning up my crown Vic.💯
hello there, I will put 22's on my Cadillac Escalade esv because of the rim width, tread depth, and utq. I've been researching to make sure that I get the correct size wheels and rims for my truck
You right bruh bc every vehicle I had I had to put money into everything you mentioned for instance (2007 Range Rover Sport on 24's, 2004 Lincoln Town on 22's, 1996 as impala on 24's, 79 cutlass on 22's, 2015 Chevy Silverado on 28's etc. etc.
I wanna put some wheels on my ride just to make it pop, it's a 4 cylinder. So If I stay with 20's or below it won't mess anything up? I been looking at some 18's that are blacked out and would look nice.
RT I've 24s on my tahoe 20'' on my e500 benz 18'' on my s500 you can always sell rims on ebay or any site but they have to be kleen not scrap up or scratch. Rims are personal expression and can be flipped if classic keep original wheels got to pay the cost to be the BOSS have fun.
I drive a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu LT. I'm buying a set of 20s. This will be the biggest wheels I've ever had mounted on a car. My first set of wheels was a some 16s on a 1995 Ford Escort LX. Around 2002 or 2003.
I don’t know why I found this so hilarious but you do have a solid point about they’ll cost you more in the long run than what they cost to buy… I had 28’s on my 2003 Tahoe 4x4… the transmission went out about 4 months after that😂
Thanks, Bro, straight to the point and lots of info... Kindly advise: will a change from R18 to R19 cause harm in a Toyota Venza with original R18 wheels? Thanks
You are right bro I took the 22s off of my 07 Chrysler 300 and I sold them for 500 bucks and love riding stock . I just bought a 2005 bmw 745li in mint condition and the guy had the stock bmw rims on them . When I came the next day to pick up the car he had 22 inch rims on them . I told him I prefer the stock because it makes the car look more high end . He gave me the stock and said the car comes with both sets , the 22s are exactly the same the ones I sold lol STXRR
Man look! You wrong about a lot and right about a little! All depends on the type of wheels. There are forged aluminum wheel that are actually lighter and stronger then the factory wheels.
I agree with some of the things you are saying but it only holds true to those extreme modifications. you can still get stock size custom wheels and not have any issues. Most cars now have a 17” or better and you can go up at least 2 sizes and get wider and be good. I have a Cadilac Escalade that I went up 2 sizes from 22 and got 1 and half inch wider and have no issues.
Great video man. I was thinking about putting 24 on my 750li but ima just stick to 22s. I dont want anything rubbing, plus I don't wanna be riding ruff
This video is correct & wrong at the same time. I have a 2010 Escalade with factory 22’s i upgraded to 24”s absolutely no issues. I followed the oem specs for bigger rims in this case 295/35R24 same revolution etc..as my 22”s no difference in gas mileage. Also I’m old school and take rims off in the winter and would never keep rims on if traded cause if you take care of rims you still will ALWAYS find someone who will buy on streets for close to what u paid. So my suggestion is do your research on rims first and if your not doing anything crazy like 28,30 etc you will be fine adding a couple of inches more then factory rims.
What you think about 22's on a 2015 Buick Lacrosse that already comes with 19inch stocks? Wouldn't really hurt would it? Plus I'm looking for alloy or machined instead of chrome
As long as your rims weight difference in the stocks isn't super heavy you'll be fine granted you go with the correct size width/height... Cars tow 5 people tipically so whats that 500-800 lbs depending
I recently copped a 2013 Chevy Suburban LTZ it came with the factory 20s I'm thinking of going 22 and no bigger because that is my daily driver and I am on the highway 24s look nice but I'm in Michigan and our roads are horrible and at least with 22 I still have some meat on my tires
A year later a cop some 24s for my Suburban used I got a hot deal on them I went with a 305 35 24 inch tires it rides good but I'm thinking about going to 285 40-24 because like I said I'm in Michigan and I roads are s*** I've had to replace two tires
I'll be honest with y'all... I had 26's on a Yukon and I had 26's on a Escalade and I didn't have suspension problems with neither of those. I had issues with tires all the time the fuckin tires wouldn't last for shit. I also had a Chrysler 300 with 22s on it and I had suspension issues with that car all the time with just the 22s on it. Now i have a Infiniti M45 with 24s on it and i just repaired the suspension from the damage that the 22s that i had on it did. What can i say...i don't like to ride and look like everybody else. I have my own style and I'll pay to ride how i wanna ride.
Exactly! I got 24s on my 2014 Dodge Charger and everything been good! Going to be doing 26s soon ... idc what problems come with them .... I like to stand out .. I feel you on that
Dude. I have to disagree with you. I bought a set of 30s for 7k and sold them for $5,500 after 4 years of use. Didnt even change the tires. I did sale them separately though. 😆. But you have to buy the 3 pice wheel to retain your value. Not those 1 pice wheels that are massed produced.
Lmao. I agree with you to a certain extent. If I buy a set of 26s for 1900 and ride on them for 5 years then sell them for half the price after 5 years, did I really lose that much money compared to spending over 7k for some 3 piece wheels losing $1500 in value over the same length of time? Think about it and do the math... It actually makes more financial sense to buy the 1 piece wheels for cheaper.
@@derektheproducer dude i have gotten decent 20"s on my cars for $300 on Craigslist they might have a couple minor scratches but hell i bought a used car too so what's different lol
My Camaro has stock 20s and I was on the fence about 22s. Since I have air suspension and the wheels I purchase will be wider (staggered) I'm sticking with 20s. I guess it depends on the car. Suvs and old classics sure but I don't like sports cars with oversized rims.
I benefit off the one's who buys brand new trucks and suv. I get them factory wheel and tire for less than 800 a set. With less than 500 miles. Do you know how much tires cost? 18-20 inch gmc denali wheels and Chevrolet wheels.
Exactly. New cars are coming stock from the factory with bigger wheels. Lol That kinda destroys the whole argument against bigger wheels. Maybe if we were still in the 90s, I would agree with this video, but new technology kinda disproves the idea that all larger wheels are bad.
I only buy aftermarket Hoops for looks, I know they will depreciate and quickly at that and that's okay. I keep the factory wheels anyway so when and if the car is sold, they will GO WITH the factory Hoops.
I remember when 20's first came out... I had the 18" Assassin's on a 1984 Crown Vic Lol... I was born in 86' and it was my first car and I remember going and getting 20" wires when they started selling 20's... It was always 17" and 18" and now it's 30" and 32" Lol... Crazy!!! #StaySafe & #StayBlessed #32Gang 🤘😎
I can get some clean 22 inch vct machines rims for the Vic for $300. They just don’t have the tires...u think it’s a go? I’m rocking 17 inch steely’s rite now. It’s an 2011 Vic
Tires gone run 150-200 each that’s gone put u around 600 to 800 just for the tires. If you can find a used set with some good tires that will be the best route
Street Cruising 101 I found a set of 4 lexani 22 inch tires for $350 shipped. I’m out here in Texas so I think I should do it. I’m from philly where the potholes is crazy but out here it seems all the roads are smooth. I think this might be the time to do it
I like rims my truck looks better with rims then stock and I have a 2018 GMC Sierra SLT and I’m planning on keeping the truck until the wheels fall off
So much truth on this video. I always try to talk friends or people out Buying rims because of the reason that you basically have to re-customize your car, long story short like you said... you’re spending a lot of money and you’re also depreciating the value of your vehicle if you’re planning on selling it in the future. Especially the suspension and wheel balance of your car.
Well I will say this... About the value of the car if you getting a cut will definitely lower the value and I've did that with 26s on a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis all white and now I have another 2003 all white Mercury Grand Marquis LS and a all black 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and both those are sitting on 24s... Both these vehicle has been garage kept and everything underneath is immaculate that's why I chose to put rims on mines and plus I'm from Chicago that's what we do LOL 👑💯💪🏾 I never have any problems with my vehicles and I've been doing this for years and years.... It's just how you take care of your vehicle us as men who like the big rims know what it is already 😁💯 a lot of Chrome and decals is how we do it I love it and they love it.... Both my Grand Marquis now have decals that can come off if I wanted to take them off chrome fender trim that can come off if I wanted to take them off... Now they do have 5% tint all around and smoked out headlights and both have Chrome eagle hood ornaments 👑💪🏾🔥🔥 I'm not too much worried about the value of these going down because I can sell one right now for $6500 easy without the rims $5500 and they both have two 12s hifonics with 1100 w amps.... So anything on my vehicles can easily come off if no one likes this but I usually don't have a problem selling my vehicles like this at all they love it 👑💪🏾💯😁😁😁
14 years ago Put 22s on my century (it was clean I swear) 5 months later took a four hour trip to miami and screwed up my transmission. Feel every bump on skinny’s and speedometer was off. Look good tho 😒
Honestly get whatever you want. It depends on the type of car you have. Never allow other people to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. I’ve driven on larger rims for over 20 years. No major issues. There’s always a sweet spot when it comes to rims. Most new cars can fit 22’s with no problem. Most trucks can fit 24’s with no problem. Just do the research for your specific vehicle.
