I see the difference in the wheel styling, but I don't see any difference in the size of the wheels. I admit that this is the case in most of the pictures posted in here.

Is your MO a daily driver? If so you might want to rethink a few things.

Personally, I think everything over 20" on the MO is getting to be a bit much. Any little thing happens on the road then you're nice shiney big-ass rims are toast. The larger your rims, the lower your ride quality will be, the harder it will be to brake, etc. Plus, I'm not much for the thug look. Similarities can be drawn between humans having huuuuuuge rims and apes making tons of noise by banging around a metal can to simply assert their dominance in their family group. Man...did I just say that! LOL...

If you are going to lower it, only do a couple inches at the most. Any lower you'll have to tilt the top of the wheels in so they won't rub against the side of the wheel well. Which in turn will wear out your expensive low profile tires extremely quickly and expose the lower inner lip of your rim to damage. Wheel tilt is murder on extremely low profile rims as they don't have much give by design.

Have to keep a balance between functionality and looks. First pictures in the original post do look cool though. Maybe it's the light.
