Some wheels don't work

Post by enuff_zed » Fri Jul 23, 2021 2:46 pm

This car is advertised about a mile from my house.
Overall it's not too bad, though I'd say a little pricey.
But the wheels!
Is it me?

I actually really like those wheels! But they do not suit the Zed! Maybe on something much more supercar-ey!!

i think it has blue exhaust tips as well. Overall not a good theme. But someone must have liked it in the first place and 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' :|

The only thing that can make them worse is if the silver was painted in neon blue - look good on a lamb but not a zed :(

Well, nothing ventured......................
Left a message to see if the original wheels are still available.
Even if they're square they'll improve it. :roll:

Not sure about suitable for a super car, they instantly reminded me of…..a Renault Clio :roll:

There's 'personal preference' and then there's shite.

Ive seen a lot worse. To be fair many of the current crop of bmw wheels look quite naff in my opinion.

I read the comments before looking at the car and they were not nearly as bad as I was expecting! They're not what I would choose, but I don't think they look terrible.
