Actually, I kind of like the look. At least they are a decent color match to the car.

that's all that counts.

If a guy owned a junk honda and saw that car.... He would go nuts over it and want it badly... so the moral of the story is..... (well you can answer that question cant you)

No one says we alll have to follow that same crowd. If your modding your car with the thought of making everyone else happy your going about it the wrong way. Just my .02

Dude! Your profile says you don't even have a Vette.

uhhh, because this is a car discussion forum ???

You ask "why"... I ask "why not" ?

I do like the wheels (not for me though)and I do like this thread.
I would hate to think that we could no longer comment about others Vettes. The comments I have read on this forum may have saved me from buying an ugly, add-on, aftermarket part

Yes this is a car discussion forum I am aware of that and thanks for attempting to clear it up for me. The ttile of the original post does not lend itself to discussion however, it leads the reader to beleave that the poster has already made up his mind that the car is ugly.
Maybe a more aproptiate titile would have been..... What do you think about these wheels?. That would lend itself to more of a dicussion than a bash the ugly wheels thread. Best reagards to all.

Any color combination is still way better than a MUSTANG!
