Will someone please explain to me what I'm missing, I really, really, really don't get why people get soooo excited over wheels.

 

Give me lightweight wheels with the best handling characteristics and make them as cheap as possible. I don't care what they look like!

 

Is there something I'm not getting? Am I just getting old?

Why did you buy a supra then? There's many more cars out that that handle better than the supra, but they might not look as good.

Wheels make a car. Some people love performance, others love the look. I would rather have a great looking car than a fast one personally but everyone is different.....;)

Opposite to Harvard, really! Whilst I do like the look of the Supra, looks was the last thing on the list for me. I was looking for a 2+2 or 4 seater, RWD, high power, relatively cheap.

 

My choice came down to the Supra, 300ZX and M3. I chose the Supra as the most reliable of the three. When the time came and I needed more space, an M5 or an AMG merc was an option. I went for the Aristo because it was cheaper and I was really impressed by the reliability of the 2JZ.

That's the bit I don't see :( . I understand, of course, why people want cars that look good, but when I look at a car, the wheels are probably the last thing that I actually notice. It's a bit like when the missus buys shoes - she'll try on twenty pairs that all look more or less the same to me and ask which ones I like best. :search: "I dunno. Whichever are the most comfortable", is, apparently, not the right answer.

I think wheels are the first thing I look at when I see a car.
