I have seen so many people in my area with 20 inch rims and it is sick, since they usually are people living in terrible condtions but they have these 4 rims for their car that maybe worth a coupe of grand...what is the point?

Psychological. If it makes them happy it can't be all bad.

Why have people been fighting wars over gold for hundreds of years? It wasn't until very recently that we came up with a good use for the stuff. Same with diamonds.
The truth is that people like shiny and expensive stuff. They use it as a way to display their wealth. The first people who put chrome 18s on their cars did it to show onlookers that they were richer than people who drove on regular hubs. That started a competition, and rims got bigger: 20s, 22s, 24s - now I'm seeing 80s cars on 26s. The rims and tires are worth more than the car!
People with money can afford expensive cars. They look at cheap cars on expensive rims and quickly point out how ridiculous it looks. But a lot of these same people wear expensive and useless jewelry on their bodies. If you think about it, you will realize that this is the same thing.

It is like asking why people bought 14 inch deep dish in the 90's. Or why do people put 3 foot long forks on their harleys? How about when people put a giant spoiler on the back of their front wheel drive Honda? Some of those spoilers are so ridiculous. They put so much downforce on the back of a front wheel drive car it makes the car handle worse.

I blame MTV. Just look at the rides in the videos. Spinners are the worst!
