Holy smoke.
Those of you with long memories may recall my spilling the beans a while back about the next-generation cars having 21" wheels. Yes? No? The first real exposure was the Jag motorshow car that had 21"-ers.
Well, you ain't seen NOTHING yet. The Max Tosser crowd will be tugging them selves daft and taking tinsnips to their Novas wheelarches next spring.
I was just down at one of my clients who make (guess what) alloy wheels... they had the prototypes of... wait for it...

TWENTY-FOUR inch alloys.


Dunlop, Michelin et al will have to work overtime to design some elastic bands to fit those...!!

But what are they going to fit on? I recently saw a BMW X5 on 22" rims and the tyres on that were rubber bands! And BMW 7 Series Alpina's run on 20's and there both big cars with big wheels to start with, the only thin I can think of that they might fit is the new Range Rover Bus

Errr... I can't say.

Saw the new Lotus wheels when I was down there as well. At least they cured the Elise 'self-destructors' that they used to make..
