Does that take air ? or is the rubber stuck to the rim ?
Not much of a sidewall , would be a bumpy ride.
Can you say wagon wheel ?

yeh they are getting ridiculous, I've seen 32s and 34s but that looks stupid. Asanti have also put out some new wheels, big but not that big - except in price - $2,000,000 US, encrusted with diamonds and rubies.
