"Aero" wheels - a new car design trend?

Think VW missed a trick not having something similar to these when buying the car new back in the 80s

Am I doing this right?

Blimey, I remember seeing cars with those in the late 80's / early 90's. LOL.

Look dreadful, add unspring weight so affect ride, steering and handling, easy to steal etc.

Most OEM alloys are heavier then the equivalent steel's

I'm not a wheel-queen, but show me some alloys with a three-bolt fitting and even I know they must be from a Citroen AX GT!

You must have forgotten about the Renault 5, 2cv, Visa, smart fortwo, Austin7, alpine.... (my mind has gone... any others?)

I always thought the vikingaeros were the worst of the three spoke Saab wheels. I had deep dish super Aeros on my 9000s, luckily opinions are like aholes

The deep dish 9000 aero wheels looked superb
