I can't see the point in wheels bigger than 19" and even that is pushing it to be honest. I think they look stupid, even though the car is massive aswell, they just look ridiculous.

Agreed, but mostly because there's no rubber on them! 8)

I watched a programme once the manufacture of alloy wheels,
there is a 36" wheel, but it's just a decoration piece, it cannot be fitted to a car.

Using current wheel manufacturing techniques, the largest wheel size
a vehicle can have is 26" (1st ever set was made for shaquel o'neil's escalade). This is due to stresses placed on the rims.

Until new techniques have been developed, the yanks are manufacturing
wheels that are 26" diameter, but give the apperance of a 32", tyres have to be custom made (???$$$) !!!! To be honest these look quite ugly, they have a huge rim face & look out of proportion.
