I know exactly what you mean that no matter how ugly it is, people are still going to buy it. It absolutely is ugly

I assume you drive your car. Have you see the gas prices lately? Watch Bloomberg at all?

I bet the ex-TownCar guys in the xB's do ....

Unfortunately I don't have a picture I can post, but I have seen funnier alloy wheels than that...actually shaped like a child's teddy-bear.

Take a close look at the spokes of the rims then tell us what you think I think the teddy bear rims is the PG version while these are the XXX version.

Here are the teddy bear wheels I was talking about....they were made by Ronal. These, I think, are the silliest alloy wheels I have ever seen.

Haha I remember the Ronal Bear from my Road and Track days when the Tire Rack was carrying these and wasting ad space on them. Right next to these was the sunflower wheels, remember those?
