I thought the same thing about the RR when I first saw it, but the more I look at those wheels, they really are not that bad. Could be 10 times worse, like this:

From someone who does roadside assistance for AAA.... dude. Those tires and rims gotta go. Do you know how many people have those gay ass rims and then lose the tools you need to get the center part off to get to the lug nuts? And then those tires. My God man. You hit a bump too hard and they get shredded.
Nice, I don't mind the wheels. As shown above, there are much worse wheels out there
As a P38 RR owner myself, I do think having such low-profile tyres on what is theoretically an off-roader is particularly inappropriate. You can't even mount a kerb with those things.
Why do people buy a truck and then try to change it into a car? You put giant clown-shoe wheels and low profile tires on a vehicle like that and all you've done is ruin it. It'll never handle like a car, but now it can't perform like a truck either.
Seems just as dumb as buying a corvette and jacking it up and mounting knobby offroad tires.

You put wheels like that on a SUV (which despite having "meh" tires from the factors)? You have basically turned a capable offroader into nothing more than a tall, thirsty, station wagon whos wheels will break if you even go near a curb.
So what's wrong with them you asked? Everything.
He posted a photo of it on a public forum therefor it is going to be commented on and ridiculed.
Okay, no need to be an ass about it though and keep it going. The wheels aren't your thing, fine... move on. And I highly doubt he's concerned about taking his car off-roading anytime soon.
Yeah, to each their own. It's love hate with that look. I had a 996TT that was blacked out with a bunch of CF. I got the same reaction. Thanks for the input.
Didn't mean to be rude. I just like the more standards cars. Maybe some gray wheels but nothing too fancy.
But I must admit that maybe watching your car in person, must make a different reaction
Thanks for your opinions! Really appreciate it.. erhm regarding the wheels its personal taste really ,no need for negative comments.

2008 Modded E63
I love this car. The the best E Class AMG body they have ever made. Way better than the current one. Its kinda slow though...(I joke). And for the M5, it still is a good car. I think it looks pretty clean, I would still take the E63 though.

I like it! Love E60's
01 Sentra with one bad ass reliable motor - The SR20.
7 years and she still runs like a champ and looks clean still.
