Best/Worst OEM Wheels

[Stick Legs]

I submit this entry. DB7 early i6 alloy wheel.

On the right car they look perfect.

On anything else they look gopping.

Simultaneously best & worst!

Those DB7 wheels could either be open spokes like that or have disc covers on them.

Silver Turini’s on Cup 172’s are one of the ultimate OEM’s. In fact Turini’s suit most cars imo.

True, however 172/182 Clios look great on most wheels - a favourite of mine was a friend's dark blue Clio that had ran on silver 'turbines' from a 90s Clio 'valver', looked superb and the wheels really suited the car imo.

Seen another on Compomotive THs, that also looked great

Renault pretty much nailed the wheels on all of their hot hatches. Love the turbines and the Williams wheels were also an excellent choice for them.

I think these are oem as I've seen them on so many, possibly a optional extra. Honda City Turbo II with Volk Racing wheels.



Also the Nismo x Rays LMGT1 wheels that came with the Nismo 400R


Worst

Always hated these ones on old Ford Escorts...


Mainly because they look like the plastic rings surrounding beer cans



Another vote for the ste diamond cut and black wheel combo that seems to be on everything these days.

I'm massively biased, and it might have been mentioned earlier in the thread, but I think that the OZ Alleggerita looks good on everything. Lovely wheel design, especially with a decent amount of tyre sidewall to complement it.

They do look good, but are they oem?

This is a very good point. Will teach me to read the OP properly

Ignore the OZ suggestion!

These godawful Volvo C30 things

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but they’re not only a nightmare to clean, they corrode and they look like fussy sofa casters on the clean lines of the GT86.

The Performance pack wheels are lovely though:






The Blue edition got Brembos too.

[Andy86GT]

I'm not keen but each to their own. Perhaps I like the '86 wheels due to a passing resemblance to these (that I also like);

These looked st when they first came out.

They still look st.

They will continue to look st.

A few pet hates of mine







And a few I quite like

[Matt Cup]

That red 911 looks massively underwheeled.

The M5 wheels are a personal fave of mine though.

[jamesbilluk]

A lot of the ones I like have been shown.
Although I love these

Here’s one I really don’t like though, one of the wheel designs on the Mini electric, just looks odd.

Have we had monoblock AMG wheels yet? Simple, easy to clean and quite robust.

The mini electric alloys are designed to look like a three pin UK plug.

Definitly odd looking, but interesting design
