You shouldn't rush these things. If you put a something into your ear lobe that too large for it it can cause the ear lobe to tear, bleed and become infected. In either scenario, you'd have to go to a doctor.
You can find pictures of lobes stretched out wrong. Let them stretch out and let them heal-get used to the "size", or just plug a new size in every week and join the "band wagon".
Im not being mean im just saying, dont rush it like Avant Garde says. For some cultures, the stretching of cartilage is more than just aesthetics. Rushing it will involve in a mistake you regret while, "understanding" it and or (at least) doing it properly can set you apart from those just doing it for the "look".
As an american, yes it is very cool and can be sexy, but like tattoos i can only wonder if its being done as an (quote un quote) aesthetic appeal as opposed to a meaningful or spiritual symbol.
