That's fine, if it works for them, but Teslas are also a fine example of what I'm talking about. They have silly outsized 19", 20", and 21" wheels with thin little tires that look like they belong on a bicycle. Where's the sense in that? Oversize wheels are a styling gimmick. Once the wheels are big enough to clear the brakes, making them larger has no practical value that I can see. They only add unsprung mass and inertia. They decrease the vehicle's efficiency, and possibly its handling and comfort, for no real return. Most of the fancy wheels are worse in their aerodynamic qualities, too, and more expensive to replace if they're damaged.
