Not a fan of the grey spokes on that one.

mix matched wheels, but I like the contrast in color

not so much the actual wheels & tires as the stance & tires

Nobody but nobody said "what a great set of wheels I'm going to keep them" when they bought their A12. They were glad they didn't pay for wire wheelcovers on their new car (ordered by a 50 year old Sales Manager who was used to ordering New Yorkers for 50 year old customers) when they were going to head to the tire shop for a set of mags when leaving the dealership.

The steel wheels were, for all intents and purpose, installed to enable the car to roll. If donuts were available then, they would be on the car, because everyone slapped a set of cool aftermarket wheels on their car back then, and Chryco knew it. The OEM's got on the wheel bandwagon with the Astro wheels, Magnum 500's, Rallye's, etc.
