You got a new car?!

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.

Forgelines are also nice after-market wheels!

depends on the car and wheels, some cars look better with the OEM wheels. sometimes the wheels will look good but then there will be a gap where it will need a drop (on many not all) otherwise it will look like it's in 4 X 4 mode...

Some aftermarket wheels enhance performance with wider width (more grip) and lighter in weight.

I am definitely for them given the quality of the wheels are matched with the caliber of car.

I just picked up these HRE P40sc's and couldnt be happier. The car performs better and looks more appealing over stock (to me).

I a firm believer in aftermarket wheels in most cases. I just don't like the look of many OEM wheels. Most of the time...

I've had some cars with OEM wheels I never liked but could never justify the cost of replacing. Others I really don't like, but can't find anything that looks better. And ocassionaly a rare moment comes around with cars like my wife's Toyota SUV and my GTI where I really like the OEM set-up.

On the whole, I don't think there is any German car that can't be improved with a set of tasetfully sized BBS's.

I think it all depends in what you consider aftermarket, I am against anything that starts or ends with DUB, but I am all for aftermarket that compliments the car rather than make a fashion statement.

Take for consideration my charger,

These are stock R/T rims painted black:


But I'm in the process of purchasing the dodge viper rims that also look great, aftermarket? For a charger yes,

This what they look like on a charger, I think it compliments the car very well;
