Its a completely bog standard Pug 106.
Fake alloys are bad enough but with MASSIVE fake cross drilled bits of plastic as well!?!? Especially as it states VIP in the center cap...

You've obviously not seen the plastic Brembo 6 pot caliper covers...

It doesnt compute, none of it does...

Are you driving it? Nope..well there ya go. Who cares. if the driver likes them , then they like them. Why should they care what you thought. If everyone thought the same we'd all be driving the same car, and wearing the same clothes, and it would soon become a hideously boring place. Each to their own.

True, but one of the few pleasures in life for twisted grumpy old men (like me) is to ridicule other peoples taste. It makes me feel better about my own short comings.... please don't ask me to give up the right to do this.

Those wheels are horrid and the person who fitted them obviously has the brain of a spavined stoat (there, feel better now!)

You don't have to be grumpy or old...surely taking the piss out of others taste is one of lifes true pleasures!

Exactly There's nothing better than standing in a crowded pub bitching about complete strangers

Again, those wheels are inexcusable, but I'm glad the plank has fitted them!

They'll add about 50bhp and make the handling much sharper. I'm going to suggest them for the R10 at Le Mans.

What the owner or the discs? Personally I'd like to see them try and fit fake callipers, it'd look magnificient imo with the callipers spinning aswell.

Meooowwww. Gosh that hurt.

Now back to the point. It doesn't hurt you. I bet the guy with those wheels when he sees your car doesn't take photos of it, post it on a forum and ask "I've only got fake plastic discs but why would someone want a plastic car?"
