Just when you thought the wheel industry had turned out the largest wheels for passenger vehicles, they outdo themselves again. Remember back when 20 inches was large, then 22, 24, and a long time after, 26 inches. Then came 28 and 30 inches, and now for quite-sometime there have been 32 and 34 inch custom wheels available from Asanti. At SEMA 2007, they did it again, this time, they unveiled a 42 inch wheel.

In the earlier days, wheel manufacturers would design the wheel to fit the car, now the industry has changed so it is the norm to modify the car to fit the wheels - at least for most of these huge sizes.

Where will it end? No one knows, but as long as the possibility exists (and it does) that wheels can be made larger, they will be made larger, even the at the obvious expense of form over function.
