    Default Am I the only one that prefers stock wheels?

    I can't stand about 3/4 of aftermarket wheels. Am I the only one?

    I'm not going to say that I prefer stock wheels, but I'm like you on your opinion of aftermarket ones. I like simple designs (5 spoke, 6 spoke) in one color. A good portion of aftermarket wheels just have too much going on for my liking.

    no your fine high performance cars should enjoy the luxury of high performance wheels. there is no reason you should change your Porsche's wheels for anything less than HRE's or Iforge's

    On sports cars I like stock wheels, on little hatch's like mine I hate stock wheels. HRE's, BBS, and Work wheels are an exception/

    yeah nothing adds performance to a Porsche like putting boat anchor wheels on them.

    Automakers are really focusing on producing high performance factory wheels that perform in the styling department as well.

    depends on what the stock wheels are, in my opinion.
    i'd just get different stock wheels and throw them on there.
    [gsr fat fives/ls meshes for example.]
    or perhaps go gangster with some steelies.
