Who makes the best STOCK rims?

[Skunkwourk]

Personally I think BMW usually has the best designs, despite never having owned one.

Mercedes AMG wheels are exquisitel. Lotus Elise is a cheap(ish) car with fantastic looking set as well.

frankly i pay attention to the design of the spokes and hubs much more than i pay attention to the design of the rim.

I like the stock RS4 wheels, HATE the new M3 18's and 19's, the old e46 19's were so much nicer.

AMG wheels are usually pretty nice.

HATE the stock Mustang ones

The Lotus wheels are extremely light weight as well which contributes to its go-kart like handling.

Gotta go with Audi

Audi's RS4 ones are one of my favourites.. The AMG wheels also, the old M5 ones. I can see a trend here!

I really like the Golf GTI 30th Anniversary ones aswell, they really go with the car.

19'' 12-spokes on the Audi A8L.. absolutely sublime.

BBS

I really like the M parallels seen on the E38. I like the AMG wheels on the C63. I like the wheels on the B6/7 RS4. I like the wheels on the Z06. I like the wheels on the E46 M3 CSL. I could go all night, but you get the point.

BMW, bar none.

My favorite wheel designs depend on the car they're on. A wheel design that looks great on an exotic or a big sedan wouldn't look right on a small economy car.

The Lexus IS-F has some fairly light BBS wheels. They had a display at the car show last weekend comparing the stock wheels to the IS-F wheels. It's a noticeable difference. I think some of the BBS aftermarket wheels look better though.

I wonder how long it will be before we see regular cars with carbon fiber wheels.
