Yeah... they should have made a separate right/left side wheels. Those just don't look right.

Love the rims, dare I say they look like the Audi RS7's!!!

fattyz28 · 07-09-2016, 06:32 PM

Buy one and put on the polished forged wheels.

Is that like power walking?

I just had a visual of some "vigorous power walking" around the car on the showroom floor.

I am not a fan of those wheels either. It looks too much like Honda Civic wheel pattern. I also agree they should have left and right version of these since the pointed shape of the pattern in the wheel point in the opposition direction on each side.

I never noticed it until this thread, definitely not a deal breaker for me. I'm more concerned about the "vigorously walking around the car" visual. Can't stop laughing.

they should have picked some better rims for this anniversary style.

BumpinBlueSS · 07-10-2016, 03:09 PM

I'm not feeling these wheels at all. I think they are tacky.

motorhead · 07-10-2016, 03:25 PM

Good eye OP. I don't like that either. The point should be to the back of the car. Driver side doesn't look right. Must be a first year wheel designer that did them. Not a fan. For 50 years they could have done much better. Where are these babies at?

Never noticed before, but yeah it throws things off. Could this possibly be a huge oversight?

Love those wheels. Had them on a Camaro, a Chevelle and a Malibu Classic.

It would be interesting if someone could photoshop those on a 6th Gen.

There is a modern version, but they aren't done corectly and look kind of corny.
