Which car company has the best stock rims?
Alright, which company do you think gives the best looking stock rims(either upgraded or standard)? Im only talking about the main luxury companies, not Ferraris or anything. I have to go with BMW's. The newer BMWs have rims you just wouldnt want to change.

Ditto on the bimmers.
Lexus is... clueless. They've got all these incredably nice rims in japan, and we get stuff so boring it belongs on a stock Civic DX...
ok, I exagerate, but seriously now...

Theres a few:
New M3 19" option
New Audi A8 19 and 20" option
Audi RS6 19" option
New Jaguar XJ8 multispoke 20" option
If I think of more I'll edit later
. Its funny that the plus size craze caught on BIG TIME with auto manufacturers. Even a Nissan Sentra can be outfitted with 17" factory wheels! (Back in 1998, 17" wheels were BIG DOG! LOL)

Best rims?
Guess it depends on what you mean by "best" ?...... From a pure handling standpoint, probably a toss-up between Porsche and BMW. From the standpoint of pure looks, it's hard to beat the rims on the Bullitt Mustang....with the stock IS300 17" hi-perf 5-spoke wheel a close second.

I meant lookswise. Wow its amazing that no one on CL voted for Lexus yet!!! I guess the rims are one of the few things wrong with the appearance of the cars.

In my opinion this is Lexus' biggest problem. Even though it's
one of their only downsides it must be addressed. Lexus stock
rims are generally to small and are often boring. The only good
package has been the 17" 5 spoke rims on the IS. The rims on the
current ES are a joke and ruin the whole car. 16's on a large luxury
sedan? Come on. Then you have the SC's rims, very poor design.
Their getting better but have a ways to go.
I voted BMW.
