Torque and Chrome

why cops target trucks/cars with chrome 24' wheels more often?

im from texas and majority of the cars/trucks that are pulled over in down town are the ones with 22' wheels or 26's...can cops do that or are they just stereo typing only those cars more than imports?

1. Because if the car with the big wheel crashes someone it would deystoy the other car
2. because black people drive those ghettofied cars, duh.
3. yeah , it s like SUV/truck racial profiling They assume each 24` chromed rimms , have at least a pound of Mary stashed in the trunk.
4. well my husbands a tow truck driver and those usually are drug cars. who has rims anyway? thats so ghetto. It loos trashy and says hey look at me im cool when really you just want to make them wreck.
5. cause they look like "gansta" cars. Ya know, trouble. The loud music booming. Ba boom, ba boom. Cops don't like that. They're gonna pull them over before a soccer mom with kids in the car, don't you think?
6. If you ware a bright red dress people notice you more. call it what you want I believe it is a stereotype.
7. there tryin to catch u riding dirty
8. probably because if the rims are too big that means the wheel might be bigger than the regulation size on that car. and also because the money probably came from selling drugs.
9. its because typically younger people drive them and are drinking or smoking dope in them,they need a reason to pull you over like a light out etc.... so if you have one dont give them a reason to pull you over
10. because 22 foot wheels are dangerous. Now if they were 22" (inches) then maybe you would have a case for profiling. LOL
11. cops usually don't pull over for no reason. maybe its just a coincidence that people with those size rims are the ones speeding more often not stereo typing. i'm just saying that might be why.
12. If I were driving a vehicle with 24' wheels I would expect the military to be coming after me, not the cops. How the heck are the cops going to even pull you over. You would be so high up that you wouldn't even see them.
13. 1) THEY STICK OUT!! 2) If you can afford big rims, you can afford a ticket 3) People with big rims usually think they own the road and drive like assholes thats at least my opinion
