I don't get it either, but taste is a very individual thing.
As my mom used to say, "If you like that sort of thing, that's the sort of thing you'd like!"
To show how things change, I had a Mustang SVO that came with 16" wheels in place of the stock 15", and I thought that was pretty rad at the time.
And once I drifted into some "Botts Dots" near Opa Locka Airport and blew out two tires. Be careful with those 24's!
