The things that hurt when you upgrade to 17" wheels from 15":

1) Your girlfriend will complain of the ride....guaranteed. This can result
in an abrupt dropoff of your sexual activity as she will be mad as hell
bouncing around all the time.

2) Potholes. Potholes are the enemy of 17" wheels w/40 series tires.  You
think you are a skilled enough driver to avoid them - but you aren't.  Get
the number of a wheel straightening facility in your area and keep it handy.

3) Your piggy bank. More expensive for the wheels and more expensive for
the tires.  Plus $ 100 a wheel to straghten them out after you experience #
2 (above).

But they look kewl as all getout so items # 1 to # 3 don't really matter to
the true Bimwad.
