Yeah, these rims are built for fleet use in an urban environment.

American tax dollars going to a German automaker. Democrats just suck at everything. And did they only consider luxury brands? Of course they did, it's not their money.

Yes, a stupid waste of money.

And before I am eviscerated with down votes, I love California, I just think they piss money away.

How much taxpayer funds go to foreign nations each year regardless of party? Billions. Your problem is with the business sector not California.

For as big as those things are, they have no room in the back seat.

The same reasons taxi companies switched. The big three stopped making a modular body bolted to a frame, instead the use a "uni-body" construction that basically "totals" the vehicle in even minor accidents.

You can still bolt on a bumper and new fender on a Tahoe.
