      A friend of mine bought a Phase 1 mk 2 Clio 1.6 16v earlier this year, and I've gotta say, the rims on that car are one of my favourite designs ever. They look great and very late 90s.

      I think they really suit the car too.

      Do you guys have any favourite rims that aren't necessarily all that well known?

          The almost mythical Sunraysia rim...

          Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle.

              @borsuq I really liked the wheels on my '98 S-10 I used to have.

                I could go on and on about favorite wheels, but a lot of them are common or predictable. But heres one I like thats a bit of an odd choice. Its a stock wheel for a ~2015 Ford Escape.

                  In general I prefer OEM wheels. The two exceptions I make are Ronal R10 Turbos and Status Grinders.

                        I shouldn't like 3 spokes, but yet here we are.

                          Yeah that's cool, but it's no Ronal Bear 🙃

                            @borsuq isuzu_impulse_84.jpg I love the wheels on the original Isuzu Impulse. So incredibly '80s.

                            100310-17-inch-mazda-6-sports-genuine-alloy-wheels-(medium)-Boxed640x480.jpg I'd love to find a set of these simple Mazda6 wheels for my Mazda5. It's a basic design, but the twist to the spokes gives them a little extra style.

                            cookie cutters.jpg And I may be crucified for this, but I prefer the look of the classic 'cookie cutter' Porsche wheels over the Fuchs alloys. But then again, I prefer the look of the 911 Targa over the coupe, so people already think my tastes are a bit off...

                                      @shop-teacher I had the previous gen. I preferred them to those ones. Too fawncy for me I guess.

                                        My second 4th gen Prelude had 1995 SE wheels on it (example pictured)

                                        There was an ultra-rare variant of these that had the inner face painted red, and the Prelude logo in the center cap instead of the H logo. I’ve only ever seen two of them.

                                            Mitsubishi wheels, used from 1986-1988:
                                            3b6afc2f-3dbe-4200-aed2-1b5149159eed-image.png
                                            FWIW, the '87 Galant had the same bolt pattern as a '95 Accord.

                                            Also, Starion wheels were awesome:

                                              This is getting away from 'unexpected' in the thread heading but my favorite wheels are the classics. Classic Fuchs, Porsche telephone dial, American Racing Torq-Thrust, Volks TE-37.

                                              Back to unexpected wheels are the deep dish O.Z. Volcanos I had on my turbo minivan.IMGP0880.JPG

                                              @nth256 ooh, Starion, yes. I seem to recall Supras came with something similar?

                                                  @vincentmalamute i actually have a set of Rial Viper that have a similar design (but shallower) in my cellar that i bought for my A4 but i never mounted them and bought OEM wheels instead 🙂

                                                  They are like this (too lazy to search for old pics on my phone right now) : Rial Viper

                                                    @jb-boin yeah, those Rials are bit too plain. Yes, the Volcano spokes would similarly be a bit plain but their huge dish is what makes them attractive to me. Dish is better appreciated in this photo. Front 1.03.jpg
