With me it was 36's or 39's. Totally satisfied with the 36's. Just long enough to turn heads, but not long though to tie a red flag to, haha.

Now, if you live where there's a ton of Cholo's around, I'd probably have gone 39's, but for the midwest, it would be overkill.

Nice pic. This image proves that the 42" cholo's will drag on everything. Even a flat surface.

This town is weird. We have a soy bean/corn processing plant and I swear they alter the weather. Seems like snow goes all around us 95% of the time.
