Description

In episode 2 of Wheelie Bad Ideas, I put tiny 8-inch wheels on my BMW Z4 to test a theory most people would call crazy — that small wheels might look cooler, drive better, and even be more fun to drift than massive wheels. To really see the difference, we lined it up next to a Lamborghini Urus on huge 22-inch wheels. Same road, completely different wheel sizes… and the results were not what I expected. Is bigger always better? Or have we all been doing wheels wrong this whole time? Watch to find out. Watch episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8zxtpmFABI Looking for a new car?
