Wheel in motion vs. wheel at rest...

A lot of people judge wheels by a static picure of a parked car . This is very important, however, people forget that 90% of showing off your car is happening when you are in motion.

Some wheels that look good stopped look plain in motion and vise versa.

Comments??

how do i know if my wheels look good, when driven, if i am driving all the time??? but if you think about it, no one ever notices/cares to know what you have when they are spinning. it's only when you are parked that everyone stops and stares (hopefully !).

I totally agree with BBs. I have giovanna coriscas on my car, and at couple different angles while rolling they look totally different and ''cooler'' BLING BLING

I agree also.

Our stock wheels look PHAT when moving slowly...

But look ass at high speed.

And look plain jane at a stop.

gotta agree with you there...
that's part of the reason I love my Volk's so much...they look good sitting still, but DAMN when you get moving, they are like invisible except for the shiny ring around the outside of them...my brembo's look SO AWESOME when I'm doing 100km/h or whatever...no rim, all brake=looking good

I have the same thing. My Polished STAINLESS STEEL lip shines like a mirror. In the sun you can see the reflection of the painted calipers in the wheel lip while moving....it looks Kick ass
