FAVORITE WHEELS

[wireman]

After reading posts in a couple threads discussing black and dark painted tops and Mark talking about painting his BL wheels, and my post about not liking black wheels, it might be interesting to see what your favorite wheels from any vehicle or era are.

Vehicle design and need is a big factor in what we buy. I think wheels can make or break the looks of any vehicle. As I stated my thoughts before, I'm disappointed with only having black wheels on the 2025 Badlands.

This subject may be interesting or die an ugly death here. We all have opinions so let see and hear them.

Here are 5 choices of wheels I really liked but never had on my cars.

Here are some of my favorite wheels I've have had on vehicles I've owned. Some are optional wheels that I specifically wanted and had to have before buying. I especially liked the design and unique look of the 2013 Escape wheels.

1st, Rally wheels on my 1972 Corvette
2nd, my 2013 Escape Titanium
3rd, my 2020 Audi Q3
4th, I added these Black Rhino wheels on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
5th, 20" wheels on my wife's 2022 GLC 300

BBS RA and classic Porsche Fuchs. Cheers!

I put some BBS on a 1982 Mazda 626 I had. Great wheels.

I'd like to find similar wheels to my '84 VW Rabbit GTI "snowflake" wheels to complete my Badlands to GTI transform.

I've always been partial to the Crager-style wheels.

Chevy rally wheels look good on just about any Chevy from that era!

Waiting for somebody to post these…

I also dislike dark / black rims. Would like to find a light colored alloy rim !

Honestly I think the BL ”steelies” are some of the most creative wheel designs in a long time. They fit the vehicle well & look suitably premium. A worthwhile upgrade for sure. I’m having a hard time picturing other wheels I like quite so much from the current era that really stand out.

Yuck to the Rivian and its wheels.

They look great on my 67 Camaro as well.

I don't understand the desire for steelies. They remind me of junkyard cars from the 60's which lost their hubcaps- Cars ready for demolition derby.
Alternately, back in the 60s and 70s, one would see abandoned (possibly stolen) cars without hubcaps along the Dan Ryan and Eisenhower Expressways near Chicago. Oh yeah, They had STEELIES! WOW! In High School, it was the poorer kids who had steel wheels who couldn't afford "mags" or replacement hub caps for their cars.
When I see the aluminum steelies on the Bronco Sport, I think , "that sucks, someone stole your hubcaps!"
To each their own, I guess.

Liked my Bronco Sport wheels better than the black wheels that came on my maverick so I put my spare set on the Mav.

I think this is the best looking wheel offered on the Sport. Wish it was 17 inch for my BL.
