        I lived in FT Lauderdale FL for awhile and everybody had expensive
rides.  One of the worst looking rim setups on an SUV was on a Suburban with
20" chrome Scimitars and 20 series rubber.  It looked TERRIBLE!  It looked
like a truck with wheels from a wild west stagecoach!  Alas, yes, he did
have a good 4 or 5 inches he could have dropped the truck, even with the
rims.
