Default Worst Looking Wheels

I was at the dealer this morning and in the service line was a car like mine, a GFM 3GS with TIS wheels on it. I thought it looked horrible. A non-modder who saw me looking at the car thought it looked horrible compared to my car, as well. I hate to bash anyone's choices but it just looked horrible imo. After getting home and seeing pics of this wheel on other cars, it doesn't look as bad. So post pics of wheels that you think would look not too good on a Lexus. Let's keep this civil and free from controversy.
Here's the wheel:




Moderators, keep a close eye out on this thread.

Yikes! I saw a few 2 and 3GS' in NYC with some horrible wheels choices as well... Oddly enough, one of them looked just like those.

I don't like those wheels, but I've seen much worse. The real problem is that somebody probably spent a few thousand just to make their car look/ride/handle/brake worse

The original wheels that came on the 2nd gen SC were atrocious

I love the stock wheels that came on my GS450H, but I don't like the ones in the picture you posted The worst stock wheels I had on any car I ever owned where the Stock wheels that came on the 1998 Corvette. Chevy must have realized it because the car was exact ally the same in 1999 but the ugly wheels that looked like they came off a house driven wagon were replaced

I like the ones in post #10 & #11, but not #12 but I still like the stock wheels better, heck they would have been an improvement on the ones that came on the 98 Vette I once had

Look at this one. Just crazy. I don't understand companies who make these things.
