I've seen this car for sale before it was in an accident. It had some equally garish and oversized chrome wheels on it.

Aye. Not sure the guys on Top Gear would even be seen in that.

On certain cars a colour combo like that would work, Veyrons use it but on some cars..... definately not

Take a look at this highly modified Porsche 928, I like how he has done the Peugeot lights, and on something like that it works, but not on a jag.

Soo much work has gone into this - you have to admire the effort.

Not tasteful, though; what a pity.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, bla, bla, bla... but they have to be the ugliest wheels I have ever seen... on any car! What was the owner thinking?! On a Jaguar??!!

Something Bout those wheels they Just AIN'T right...

Kinda look like a PEACE SIGN - MERCEDES SYMBOL- an OLYMPIC DIVER,,,, Butt what it REALLY reminds me of is the Village Peoples song Y.M.C.A

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

They have everything that you need to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.


You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel ...

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you've got to know this one thing!

No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I'm sure they can help you today.

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

My neighbor has the same wheels on his Chrysler 300, with the Bently grille and enough bling to blind you on a cloudy day. At first my son and I thought it was his kids car, We found out we were wrong.
