Why would you do this?!?!

[Beefmeister]

Canada based Reventon, with awful aftermarket wheels:




I don't understand. The Reventon has the most amazing wheels, why would you change them?!

[RevHappy]

I've seen far worse.....

[JamieBeeston]

Maybe he kerbed them and couldn't afford the respray

[Sneaky Schnell]

They're not bad at all.

I would assume that the owner wants to drive the Reventon and replacement carbon fibre wheels are not available so in order to protect them is using aftermarket.

The incredulity in the thread title had me expecting chrome spinners.

Not too keen on the Reventon wheels so can see why he changed them, I imagine the standard ones are still kicking about for when the car is sold.

[MitchT]

As aftermarket wheels go I think they're pretty nice, but quite why anyone would want to ruin the cohesive appearance of the Reventon by replacing wheels that are an integral part of its design with ones that aren't is beyond my understanding.

[PLamborghini]

Could be worse, don't look too bad IMO better if they were black

[UH-Matt]

Yep I suspect the wheels are just being stored and protected so the car can be driven without as much risk.

[Beefmeister]

Hmmm, good points one and all. I'd imagine the original alloy/carbon wheels are frighteningly expensive to replace. Dark wheels would've looked better though...

[rossw46]

As above,I think they look alright...

at least they arent these

[MrDarkBlack]

Being Canada, it's probably just for his/her winter tyres.

[Martian O]

The wheels aren't too bad, but the yanks and Canadians love their aftermarket wheels.

On a side note, can you think of a harder looking car then the Reventon? Stunning!

I like the ones on the Lambo, and others have said he is probably keeping the originals in his garage for when he sells it.

On the other hand though, the wheels on that 458 Italia are ..

Haven't seen anyone comment on the fact that the original Reventon wheels serve a specific function with their design?

[GTO-3R]

I think it looks better with the aftermarket wheels

[Mattymouse33]

Each to their own but i dont like the original wheels and far prefer the aftermarket ones. They look far better

I can't imagine that many Reventons will be driven in such a manner that the additional brake cooling will be noticed.

Out of the 5 for sales on Jameslist (with mileages listed), they've done fewer than 1600 miles between them!

That looks like a stag party joke

[lordh]

Maybe he wanted to make his Reventon look a little more unique!
