The not ugly wheels thread

Radirs have always given me wood.

For me, the less spokes, the better. Gives a clean, less cluttered appearance, and easy to clean.

OEM style 45 wheels look good on my car.

They're not BMW's best, but I like them, plus, they're cheap.

I always had a thing for stock Impala SS wheels. They just look right for that car.

Agreed. One of my favorite qualities of the SVTF; just the right spoke thickness.

Riiiight...cause Watanabe will pay Mini-Lite royalties.

Ford did right with these stockers:

I like fikse fm5s on everything

I always thought the Ranger sport wheels would look great on my Torino.

I like these Wedssport TC005's I have a set of 17x9-et42 that weigh 15.6lb each.

I like the Weds Auto Bahns on my SA.

So what you are both saying is that you have "Radir Love"...

Yep, I went there.

Btw, the VW Avus or is a favorite of mine...

And here is bigger. But those are not exactly Grassroots...

Local importer stocked replica's of those in graphite in 18 & 20. Very cool wheels. Somewhere there is a Hyundai Vera Cruz riding around on them, and it looks good. Thought at the time it would give an awesome OE-Plus look on a Ranger, too.

Always thought these would look cool on a crown vic too.

I didn't say they were awesome, I said they are too plain to be ugly.

I had a set of these on my X1/9. ATS but very similar to Campagnolos.

Of course I love almost all of the Camp nolos.

While I certainly don't think they belong everywhere, there's nothing else I would have put on my truck when I upgraded wheels. Sometimes they're just called for (IMO).
