Default Dumb question about some people's bad taste...

Ok...what's the deal with mismatched rims on imports? I keep seeing all these cars around town with like, nice-looking 16"-17" wheels in the back, and 14"-15" black steelies in the front. WTF?

actually, some people do it for strictly looks. It's pretty stupid, they buy two nice wheels and run stockies on the front :ghey:

That's what I was afraid of. The cars I saw...I highly doubt they were actually drag racing at the track. Maybe they thought it would be cool for stoplight racing.
