The Wheel Visualiser thread

Choosing a set of wheels for your car is like finding a good pair of shoes, but never sure if it complements the clothing you wear or body type.

Now, in reality all you need is a bit of creative and sensible forces to choose the right wheel. A hatchback requiring 15 inchers is proportionate with fewer spokes, a car with edgy lines needs sharper rims or one can simply follow the heart and the wallet.There are tricky times though, when you look for perfection like my good friend did with his 2013 glistening grey Swift ZXI. Matching wheels with the colour grey was the hard part and my exploration online took me to a few sites that let you choose a car model and wheels to play mix and match before the buy.

Unfortunately, from an Indian perspective, most of these visualisers belong to an online wheel & tyre store or a reputed wheel brand abroad. (Not many India specific vehicles or wheel brands available here)

Now, I understand these tools (also called configurators or simulators) are not all new for most of us here.
The aim of this thread is to discuss, review and share links to useful wheel visualiser applications that you come across.
