What's wrong with it? I'm more of a big wheel guy, but I've seen a ton of nice low-lows on the net. Everybody doesn't want the "street/strip" look. I understand these cars are considered muscle cars because of their names, but the '80s G-bodies weren't factory muscle cars like their namesakes of the '70s. Most typical people still have the factory engines which were either 231 V6s, or 305-307 V8s. The GN is the only G-body from the factory that deserved to be called a muscle car, and the other factory turbo G-bodies, in my opinion.
 
for the same reason people put train wheels (rims so huge you can barely turn the wheel and there's virtually no rubber around 'em) on their car. they actually think it looks good, or their sheeple.

true dat these werent factory muscle cars alot of people get that confused just cuz they came with a carburated v8 but the good thing about our cars is that we can pull of any look from street strip too lowriders pretty much our taste we can make it look good ricer's dont have many options

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A lot of G's look good on big wheels, it just depends on the execution of the work put into it. Some people even have problems turning on 15" wheels. If people would get the correct backspacing/offsets when choosing new wheels, they wouldn't have issues with turning.
