Eye of the beholder, yes.

Limited Edition rim tip number 1.

It took me about 6 months to find original 17 x 8 rims for my SS.

And it cost a packet.

Why care about this you may ask....well, the original rims were throw away items when people went aftermarket, now, new rims cost $1k each, and a used (mint) set of 4 just cost me $700.

So, if you are removing your OEM wheels for some shiny aftermarket wheels, keep the OEM ones somewhere in the back shed.

Someone like me will buy a twin in 10 years time and want them to replace the boy racer rims someone put on the car with some nice OEM items.

And WTF is it with people getting 19" rims on street cars, does ride quality mean nothing??

Meh.

Disclaimer: I couldn't swap out my 2015 STI OEM rims quick enough for some RS05RR rims, the OEM rims were a bitch to clean.
