aftermarket wheels: like it, love it, or hate them?

[Chris's FX4]

It depends on the vehicle for me. I like some OEM rims, like the ones on my truck now, but others I hate. The key to aftermarket wheels for me is doing it right. Meaning finding something that works with your vehicle, aesthetically and functionally. I like my OEM wheels, but will be changing the color on them.

Only aftermarket wheels I would consider putting on mine right now.

After


I'm sure we'll get two different opinions on which wheels look better....

Roush?

Yes sir!

If we asked this same question for a BMW, AMG Benz, Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin, just to name a few, I'm sure most of the responses would be OEM wheels are fine...what a great topic to discuss on a Sunday

[custmsprty]

I don't like after market wheels that have their name splashed all over them, so those method wheels are are a no go for me. It's like, oh look it me I bought Vertinis, Lexani, etc. etc. etc.

My wheels have ABARTH engraved into them, very cool!

OEM:

Personally, I think your OEMs are sharp. Not crazy out there, while managing to look 'sporty.'

Generally speaking, trucks tend to look good with factory stuff. The same could be said about Jeeps. Heck, even steelies look good on 'em.


Here are two that I'm always fond off, both body & wheels:


Mitsubishi Starion



Toyota Supra

Once you get into sports cars like those a new set of wheels is something to help with performance as well, not just for looks.

When you are talking a few thousand per wheel you dont see as many out on the road as you do when comparing to wheels that are a few hundred each.

Ferrari also comes with HRE stock on some of their models so really not much to upgrade to unless you want a different look.

I have a Porsche and if I had spare money to upgrade to HRE's I would but the cost is not worth it to me right now so they stay stock.

HRE's are sick but man $$$

I definitely agree, HRE's are so freaking beautiful but just so so much money.
