Good grief, Toyo now makes 23" Proxes S/T
"High performance sport truck & SUV Radial" tires in a 305/40R23 size at $550 a pop. And you think 16" tires are expensive!

That's a 32.6x12.00 tire and would just fit under an X I think. I wonder when it will happen...

23" wheels! O.Z. sells a set of 23" Vela ST III truck wheels for $1520 each.

That's $8280 worth of wheels and tires.

That is insane! I didnt even know anyone made wheels that big. I would love to a picture of those on on X, so I could roll around laughing!

If someone has that much money to blow on tires & rims, they most likely are driving a Navigator, Expedition, Escalade, Tahoe, Denali, or something similar to that.

I saw a Ford F-150 Lighting with 23" rims. It made the stock 20" rims on the F-150 Harley Davidson edition parked next to it look rather small.

Yep, that's just the market the piece described...
"Are the wheels on your Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, or Chevrolet Suburban looking a little puny? Need a not-so-little something to boost your macho image? Toyo created its monstrous new 23-inch Proxes S/T tires specifically for such vehicles -- and such egos."
"The (wheel and tire) package is purely fashon over function, as any dynamic improvement offered by the V-rated tires is surely negated by the additional unsprung weight of the honkin'-big wheels. But, oh, they do look fabulous."
