Lil' Romeo did. I don't really like all that "BLING-BLING" I prepher sophisticated elegance, and class. Style speaks for its self, it doesn't need 20's. Although I have seen some nice cars with 20's that look awesome, and I am in no way dissing 20's

I don't think it matters what size of wheels you get. For me, it is more about what the wheels look like on the car, than what size they are.

I have seen horribly ugly 17in. wheels on the C, while I've also seen elegant and classy 19in. wheels on the C.

It's all a matter of taste.

I think it has to do with being proportional. Wheels can't be too big or too small. The wheels have to blend with the car not over power the looks of the body (vice-versa).

Lil Romeo's car is an abortion. I hope I never see that thing on the streets. Hopefully he'll just sit in his driveway and watch DVDs in it.

Just because of your extremely funny remark (abortion!) your karma has been weakened and the prophets tell me you will soon find yourself having to work on that abortion for forty days and forty nights. (I know I'm mixing religions)
