What are the lamest factory wheels and lamest aftermarket wheels?

[torredcuda]

My `17 Ram had 20`s and I thought it looked great.

20's on an old muscle car look ghetto, on new cars they look fine.

Agreed 100%. Modern wheels have a high positive offset, the opposite of the mag wheels back in the day, which were all zero or negative offset, giving them that deep-dish look. Modern wheels have the spokes all set to the outside of the wheel, which looks gay on vintage muscle cars.

Agreed, RR Fan Dan said that my 12' Challenger looks Ghetto with its factory wheels on it. The classic package includes these wheels and these are my favorite on the newer Challenger. Just my opinion.

No ghettos here.

My wife's Challenger R/T classic has those wheels. I think that they are the best looking factory wheels put on any of the modern Challengers.

Lamest aftermarket? There are so many to choose for people with poor taste.

How about these two?

I've seen those teddy bear rims...I wonder how they got those balanced? And the daisy wheels would look totally smick on a VW patchouli bus!

I once saw the daisy wheels on a "New Beetle" when I lived in upstate N.Y.

Well, that 3 of us for Ghetto wheels on Challengers.

I know trailer tires are made for the specific loads and forces of a trailer but are there actually specific trailer wheels that are made to different specifications?

Good question, my guess is no, mainly because in 50+ years I have never heard or read about them.
I do question the specs required for trailer tires, in that it might be more of just a liability issue trying to get around it legally by excluding car tires.
That is fully acknowledging that tandem axles at low speeds in tight turns with heavy loads can/do stress a trailers tires, but all three of those conditions must be present, and that is seldom the situation in normal use, and if that was a main cause that lead to a trailers tires demise, I suspect there would be numerous antidotal reports of trailer tire blow outs in the Cracker Barrell parking lot off the interstate.

Anyone running dork dish hubcaps should be forced to run the teddy bear wheels as an upgrade! Lol

Any wheel that requires a toothbrush to clean properly is to be avoided. We had a Dodge van in the 80's that had those turbine wheels like the Dukes of Hazzard Charger, and my mom had an '82 LeBaron with wire wheels and man, those were a bitch to clean...

Yep. Got twelve of these.

I've seen guys who have trailered cars for their business doing 100,000 + miles and run just regular car tires with the correct load rating with zero issues.

Just saw these on Marketplace, what in all that is holy....

Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. I just honestly don’t like the looks of 18s on any muscle car, factory wheels or not. Too much rim overshadows the meat (rubber)

My `17 Ram had 20`s and I thought it looked great.

18-20’s on a truck is where they belong. No problem with that.
