The only thing I like about that car is the fact that there aren't any overlays on the emblems, and that it's got the base-model hood.

I don't have a positive comment concerning the wheels.

i'm sure if they were a better design, and the rear's was 21's and the fronts were 17's or somthing, it'd look better, but those rims, they just look like big hippy flowers

I'm a fan of the big wheel but that looks wrong. The design does not help at all.

This red one is mine, 20's "staggered".

I've seen 20's that have been done tastefully, but like m3638 said, the design just isn't working. I don't like that ghetto fabulous design at all, it just doesn't work. But whatever, to each their own.

Hmm...didn't even know they MADE 21's. 19, 20, 22,23,24,26 but not 21's. Must be pretty hard to find tires for them too. Just look too big on the car. A guy I worked with put some Niche 20's on his WS6 TA and it looked like crap. 19's are as big as I would go on a 4th gen.
