Default Opinions on rim sizes

Okay getting ready to order rims and tires for my project cart.. I have pretty much decided on madjax mirage wheels with inserts to match some of my highlights on the cart, the tires are Timber Wolf A/T.. I like the combination of both, I can get these in 10" 12" and 14" ..
There is a big difference in price from 10" to 14" and personally like more rubber for a better ride.. Any fall backs on using the 10" wheels? Tires are 22"

For 22" tires, I'd go with 10" wheels. I'm not much of a bling guy, anyway.

I run mostly off road. I love my 10" rims. More rubber sidewall, more shock absorption. Plus, the ability to air down in soft terrain without hurting the tire or rim is good.

Agree with above. As far as bandaids wrapped around a big rim, Looks only. Show me a real race car with no sidewall tires. Especially off road.

I run 12", I like the look of them the best. 14" will make for a rougher ride if you go off road at all. 10", IMHO, looks like they are made for off roading. I like the best of both worlds, looks and a good ride!

Price your tires first, on a golf cart motor it is not going to matter

Mike.. talk about looks..can I have Spot?

Thanks for the input everyone.. I was leaning towards the 10' wheels anyways, they are right at $100 cheaper than the 12" wheels and I forgot what the difference was for the 14"
I was trying to build this cart without robbing the bank.

Las Vegas love the attention to detail..are you related to Mike? and is that Spot's twin?..lol
