Best Looking OEM Wheels of All-time

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

Lets post pics (not just text) of the best OEM (not aftermarket) rims of all time. I really like these rims on the Cadillac Catera, unfortunately, the Catera itself wasn't the greatest looker:

I like the SVT Focus wheels.
They even fit the Contour. What more could you ask for?

They are nice, but not very unique. Just your ordinary 5 spoke rim, although they are an improvement over the E1 rims in my opinion.

no pic handy but im fond of alot of the wheels on the new Audi

love the a4 1.8t

dude you're way off. Saab and BMW wheels come to mind

Here are some OEs for ya

Can't forget these

S4 Wheels.

I like the M3 split 10(?) spokes

I like my OEM Focus Wheels. Now all I gotta do is lower the car over em and voila. Nice touch..will have pretty pics of it soon.

Yes, almost any Volvo wheel 16" or bigger.

Audi S4 previous gen.

BMW M3, previous gen.

SVT Focus

SVT Lightning, current.

Corvette Z06.

Anything BMW, Ferrari, Porsche....etc

Well this is a tough one. I think the 93 SVT Cobra rims look REAL good and are my choice. Now these come very close though...

The calipers are now painted blue, just don't have a pic of it yet

Oh yeah, don't forget these rims, I mean hubcaps (they look like rims, right

)...

These were "made" to look OEM...

E34 M5 "Throwing Stars" : Beautiful & functional.

I love many of the BMW rims. damn sexy.

I still love my Cougar rims

There's one series of 17" Mustang Cobra rims that I saw this morning mounted on an older notchback 5.0. The car was clean, silver, tinted, lowered a bit, and had Cobra rims, and I swear at that moment I thought "damn, that would be a nice little sled to tool around in." If I had money for all the project cars I wanted to play with, I'd be a happy man.

Golf 337 wheels are some of my favorite OEM wheels, 18" BBS RC

these are my fav...

no pix handy but i like the wheels on the 2002 Porsche 911 GT2...

My Audi A6 2.7 twin turbo Quattro came with (not optional) BBS RC's (17")

I have always been fond of Shelby's Centurion II wheels. They gain a little more coolness when you consider when they were designed. IMHO they would look just as good on a new car as they did back then.

In all though, these are my favorite. Hands down.

I'm a big fan of the '98 Cobra's wheels.

Truth be told, I love the current Miata wheels.I wish I could find a pic.

I am a fan of the VW wheels

i too have to give it to the vw wheels, they are the shiznit.

I'm not a huge BMW fan, but I love the M3 wheels. Those would have to be my favs for stock.

GNX/GTA rims, very nice

I had a very similar rim on my 87 GN, but were made by ARE. VERY, VERY hard to clean so they had to go and were replaced with 16" American Racing Torq-Thrusts

forgot one of my other fav's.
I think they're so damn hot for some reason.
They're only 15's though right?

not a very good closeup pic...

You can get the 16" version of those on certain Focus models like the S2, Mach audio editions, and Sony Editions. They fit the Contour too.

I'm not sure if they are exactly the same. They sure look like they are on first glance. Maybe it's just the finish that is slightly different. Inboard of the spokes on my wheels, the finish is a greyish color while the exterior is polished.

Of course, 6 NE winters have roughed mine up quite a bit. I'd love to get them powdercoated or refinished sometime down the line.

The ones you mentioned Kim are indeed 15" wheels.

Yeah, those are the ones I saw on the older 'Stang.

you know whats funny, is i could swear i've seen those exact wheels on mid 90's saturns.

One that popped into my head are the new M3 wheels, and the Ford Lightning wheels...

I think its a toss up between the 94-98 Saleen wheels and the Skyline GT-R34.
