This ugly wheel thing has me rolling!

Pontiac has most fail me thinks.

Similar to GP wheel already posted, this was my first thought. But why make the wheels nice when the vehicle looks like dog s***?

Aztek wheels.

cause you copied a pic that Finish Line Wheels has copyrighted so it wont link or copy or any of that... hahaha

 

[magnumP5]

Are anyones mazdas here really "stock"? Lol.

11,500 bone stock miles on my '11 2

It's actually been unbelieveably hard to leave it alone, LOL. I just keep telling myself all my car time/money is better spent on the RX-7 and it's been working so far. I don't know how Evan does it.

 

[THE Phen]

My Protege stayed stock for about 1.5 years.


One fully bone stock car is a great idea if you have a project. Otherwise you just spend money on things while the project gets neglected and becomes a flower pot sitting behind the garage.

Aztek wheels.

I think this should be disqualified on the grounds that it's an aztek. The wheels might be the best part.

I tried a Wikipedia pic first. Oh well. Lol it never used to be this hard navigating the intrawebz!

all it really needs is that rear bar, IMO. The lowering springs made mine look better but it didn't need them, I didn't even gripe about the OEM tires!

Some Opel wheels, Honestly, I think I would like them on some boxey 80's car

Yeah, Corksport is tempting me more and more with each product release. They now have a matched adjustable strut/spring combo in addition to their swaybars and strut tower bars. Fortunately for me (my wallet/time) I'm not really liking the rear drop (too much) so I can hold out a little longer

 

[THE Phen]

On my phone so it is difficult to link images... but if anyone wants to look these up...

Saab Sonett
Lancia Monte Carlo
Lamborghini Jalpa

[thejeans]

Oh you're giving me too much credit. I bought H&R springs and Tokico blues, Forge BPV, tint, tires for my Rays for the MS6 and I'm sure there will be a couple more things. And it was lightly modified already when I bought it from Jake.

But you and Phen are absolutely right, when I get a new car I want to dump money into it making it more fun. Heck I even put money into the Milly. But the P6 is my true money dumpster.

On the wheels subject, dare I say a ton of old Mugen wheels are fugly. Even though they aren't OEM, they're close. haha

 

[o0n8]

There's plenty of after market wheels that are ugly.

Isn't that like $1000 worth of parts though?! I can't even justify $129 on a rear torsion bar stiffener right now.

 

[Lewis7789]

Pretty much the entire American Racing line.

 

[Lewis7789]

Damnit, Jon. I never added it up before you said that. Around $1300 that could've gone into the P6. Blast! Haha, oh well, it's still a heck of a lot more fun to drive than the Milly. It's funny how a near stock MS6 can take all the sting out of going to work on Monday morning. I just love that car.

dont know if i would say that either... they do make alot of "modern sized" replicas of muscle car wheels like the torque thrusts, cobra wheels (as seen on Elanor in Gone in 60 Seconds) and several other attractive wheels from the muscle car era... and they make some decent looking truck wheels too

 

[Lewis7789]

Yeah, those are good looking. I should've specified their "import" wheels. Whenever I think of America Racing I just picture those hideous chrome wheels from the 90's.
