Best/Worst OEM Wheels

[poo at Paul's]

Porsche cup 2s in 17 inch. Just lovely. And so well made

Just going to put this here...

T-is-for-Turbo.

And going back to the Saab 3-spokers, there were a myriad of variations. Who could really say no to...

...but who could say yes to...


Then there were the v4 "soccerballs"...

Not a highpoint.

I think these are my favourites:



They probably weigh a tonne but they look lovely.

I LOVE those wheels. Sorry.

Even better on a non-GTS:



And they have the rim code 666M

Both are lousy for me.

I’m really not a fan of the wheels on our MINI, but there aren’t many options once you’ve specc’ed the CHILI pack. And I don’t like the gloss black finish either, despite having paid £100 extra for it

Original 911 Fuchs wheels (an the modern '50 anniversary incarnation thereof)

Sorry but those modern interpretations of a fuchs wheel are dreadful - flat with zero dish.

Compared to say:

[Berkshire bred]

Call me an old man if you want but all of the new fancy wheels with 374 spokes crossing each other umpteen times just seem like a bloody nightmare to clean. For me the saab 3 spokes look great and I'm also fond of the standard alloys on my r26.

Alpina classic.

Had one of these in Alpine white.
With an Alpine stereo.

[Tickle]

Not OEM as they are OZ's but they were on F1 GTR road cars.



I love 5 spokes, Speedlines on 355 Challenges also look fantastic. Would love a set for my car but they are like rocking horse se in Elise sizes!

[OddCat]

I like mine. But then I am biased

[alec.e]

Like a mini XJ220 style wheel


Worst:


I do like diamond cut wheels in the right design, I really like the one on my BMW & Jag.

[Escort3500]

McLaren. Truly terrible.

[silver1011]

Always had a soft spot for the Puma's propellers...

[S9JTO]

BMW 405M's, especially in matte black. I also like the aforementioned 666M's. The ones on the M3/M4 CS' are very nice too, don't know the code name for those though.

They look like a wheel made of ice scrapers!

[pmanson]

In the spirit of voting for your own car/wheels I really like the alloys on my volvo

Best:

They are nice but the rims look to big for the car for me

Look perfectly proportioned to me, perfect tyre/wheel/arch combo.

How dare you ... that’s blasphemy ... I’m waiting for the 3spoke resurgence and I’m confident it WILL happen!

I've been trying my best to bring them back for years... They've been cool for decades, everyone just doesn't remember 👀

[Quhet]

I've always loved these Saab wheels. Look just right on the old 93 coupe
