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

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.
