Default 30" wheels - Unique Whips

I was watching Unique Whips on Speed, and they customized Lebron James' H2 with 30" wheels and tires. The tires are specially made for Unique by Pirelli.

I just could not believe how HUGE those wheels looked. When they mounted them on the truck, those disc brakes looked soooo small. I wonder how much worse that truck will brake now.

I wonder how the handling would be like. It is so fugly that it looks like a 4 wheel horse carriage. All you need is a horse to pull it. (But I guess the H2 engine is all that you need.)

I see that Pirelli is making tires in that size, must cost a bunch cause' they are truly custom made tires.

I'm guessing $1000 per tire, not including the wheel.

I wonder how many psi they run. It's got to be real high and along with that, the ride must REALLY suck. I can hardly see any rubber under the rim! Maybe the tires cost a lot more than you think. Can you imagine having to order and wait for one. They probably ordered 2 or 3 sets to make sure they were available if needed. I'd probably order a few more spare rims as well. You KNOW you are going to hit potholes and dent them. But, if you can go that custom, you can afford it.
