The not ugly wheels thread

However the Torque Thrusts themselves CAN be improved (depending on opinion). Or at least look different than everyone else's Torque Thrusts. Reverse hoops and/or different center caps can give them a different look.

Pretty big fan of Pontiac Rallye IIs

Pontiac Honeycomb wheels arent bad either

Can't go wrong with Meisters either

And those Enkeis look the business too.

As with any ugly/pretty thread, subjectivity rules the day. One thing that I find really annoying is that I'll see a cool wheel, figure out what it is, then have to go all over the internet to find how much it weighs. For Pete's sake manufacturers and retailers, if you're selling a "performance" wheel, it shouldn't take the freedom of information act to get the weights.

On another note, since I'm currently dabling in Italian machinery, does anyone know of less expensive yet decent Campagnolo/Cromodora knockoffs?

VW Teardrops: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/images/wheels/vw_13_14_4x100/teardrops.jpg

I had a set spray painted black and they looked good on a Civic and Yaris I had. 4x100 bolt pattern ftw

I've always liked the SVT 5 spokes.

Always loved me some sidewinders on a Viper as well.

For factory wheels, I've always liked the M Parallels on the BMWs, like mine:

Also found on the 850i:

Oh, and these Mustang wheels.

These came on the V6 model right? They look good on other cars that aren't Mustangs too.

I really dig the look of Kosei K1's on just about anything.

I was very excited that they were a perfect fitment for the ZX2 back in the ST days...

As for a more "traditional" wheel, my favorite has always been the Minilite/Panasport style.

...and of course I have a soft spot in my heart for AMC muscle cars.

Those rushforths look great!

Volk CV-Pro / GRC are some of my favorites.

The optional bronze Hellcat wheels are cool too.

Wish SSR MkIIIs weren't so expensive too.

I've always loved these BMW Style 40 "Roadstars".

Radir wheels:

Good enough for Batman, good enough for anybody.

I've always liked the '66 and '67 Shelby wheels.

Regamaster Evo

Mercedes Alphards

Campagnolo knock offs

-Rob

Someone mentioned Camagnolos. Campies are nice, and I like the early magnesium knock off version like I have on my old Lamborghini the best (the three eared spinners put you in mind of a Roman chariot):

The special peg (as opposed to spline) drive knock off Dunlop steel wheels used on my MGA Twin Cams are quite rare and look at least a bit interesting.

Rotiform TMB

HRE 505

And whatever these are:

Is it ok to like those on everything that's NOT the car the came on? They look phenomenal on just about every old Ford.

I like these too: the Work Emotion.

I had the Rota Torques on my last WRX, the cheapo version of these. Loved those wheels.
