I question whether high country rims really improve performance. Does anyone have experience with that?
It’s not just about performance; they look great too! But yeah, the benefits can vary depending on driving style.

I’ve switched to 20-inch high country rims, and they completely transformed the look of my truck! It feels more aggressive and stylish.

That’s awesome! How did it affect the ride quality and handling? I’m curious about that part.
Switching to larger rims usually improves cornering response, but I noticed a slight decrease in ride comfort. It’s a trade-off for sure.
I’ve had a similar experience, but I’m still happy with my decision. Those rims give such a nice stance to the vehicle!
I wonder if that is also affecting fuel consumption? Has anyone tracked their mileage?
I didn’t notice much of a change in my mileage, but I drive mostly highway. Off-road, it might be different!
I’ve read that larger rims can lead to increased fuel consumption. I guess it depends on your driving style and the terrain.
I went from 18-inch to 20-inch and am enjoying the look, but I’m less thrilled about potential tire costs later on! 
Haha, that’s true! Bigger rims usually mean pricier tires. Just part of the game.

Overall, while there might be minor downsides like handling and costs, the aesthetic gain is worth it for many of us. Just be prepared for the little things!
