Pics: BHPians share their favourite alloy wheel designs

I have seen people getting a lower variant without alloy wheels and adding new aftermarket rims immediately after purchase just to avoid boring looking units.

BHPian Roadster101 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

This topic may seem cheesy, but for some people, alloy wheel design is at a very high priority. I have seen people getting a lower variant without alloy wheels and adding new aftermarket rims immediately after purchase just to avoid boring looking units.

My question to the BHPians: Which OEM alloy wheel design, at any price point, is your favourite?

Starting with the question myself, my personal favourite alloy wheels are the ones available on the BMW X3 MSport:

They really suit the car's sporty character and add a bit of flare to the otherwise well proportionate side of the X3. IMHO, BMW should make this design standard on the X3 range.

Thanks.

Here's what GTO had to say on the matter:

Wheels really, really make the car. Good rims can make an average car look great, while bad rims can make a beautiful car look awful. We have some threads on wheels already, but I guess you're talking of favourite designs overall, not just OEM. For reference, best alloy wheels <20 lakhs, worst looking alloys, show off your rims and the steelies thread.

I'm a sucker for 5-spoke "starfish design" wheels:

Most of my cars - right from the 1996 Esteem onward - have been shod with starfish-wheels:

Here's what BHPian 14000rpm had to say on the matter:

Vossen CVT. That's my all-time favourite:

Abarth Punto Scorpion Alloys, beautiful isn't?

Here's what BHPian Dr.AD had to say on the matter:

I like alloy wheels which are simple and elegant, and not overly complex or flashy.

One of my all time favorite designs is the BMW Style 397 wheels, which they offered on the 2012-2015 328i. Below is a picture which is one of my desktop wallpapers:

I also love the 5-spoke designs. My other favorite design is this one on Ferrari 458 Italia, and this is my other desktop wallpaper:

Here's what BHPian GForceEnjoyer had to say on the matter:

Mine would be those found on the first-gen Audi RS7. They look incredibly clean and sporty. I may be in the minority, but I love the contrast created between the outrageous wheels and the otherwise business-like styling:
