I'll bet an orange cart at Home Depot handles better...but then, I guess it isn't about handling, is it?

Biggest wheels I've seen ( last week at the SEMA show in LV ), was 32" on a Hummer.
If some people had brains, they would be considered dangerous.

Looks like the cars from the real early days, with wooden spokes and a thin "tire" of rubber.

I wonder if they can make the 40's in wood?

But how would you chrome it ?
I don't think wood is going to cut it with the " Rappers ".
