you could have a ford...


or you could have a lexus.

 

Where are the Hyundai-Haters that said Hyundai copies everything down to the wheels? Looks like Hyundai isn't alone...

 

wow....I can not believe what I am seeing with my eye.....

 

oh yea... i almost forgot

orrrrrrrrr u could have a tiburon...

 

I believe only one person said Hyundai copied the wheels and that was not me.

And big deal about rims...for the longest time the standard rims on amany japanese vehicles were the same pattern under the hubcaps....

 

Wow that is pretty blatant.

If you haven't noticed by now, the trend in wheels is split spokes and now tri-spokes. My guess is it is to make so many otherwise bland sided cars look interesting, but also to aid with cooling all these bigger brakes and showing off all these bigger brakes.

I have always been a fan of split spokes. Alpina I remember has had tri spokes for sometime now

 

Haha, I thought it looked familiar before I scrolled down

 

Notice how the OEM's are always a couple of years late compared to the aftermarket? I guess when it is hot in the custom car show scene, it takes a few years to get approval by the big wigs running the OEM companies. By then, it is old news and the aftermarket it moving on to other styles. I think both those rims look like crap though. But that's just me.

 

I hate Alpina's taste in wheels.

 

i see four split spokes

 

it's one thing to copy the split-tri spoke design, but not the split-tri-middle-spoke-chrome design...

and yea Alpina has always been ugly AND there are four spokes haha..

 

I'd still ride that XJ...

 

Or would you prefer

2IS


Jetta


Civic Si

 

i wouldnt be able to sport that Jag for one simple reason: it's still a ford.. and Lexus' tri-spoke wheels look better than Ford's..

 

Tata, not Ford.
