A poor choice of wheels could cheapen the look of the car but it won't be cheap.
You don't have to like wheels but don't classify all ISF's as being cheap because they have aftermarket wheels. That's judgemental.

Clearly most people keep their cars stock, including "special" ones. However some want to make it "more special" and they are entitled to that.

Hell we have people all the time post here "why the hell do you want to make a Lexus ride worse" in regards to any wheel or suspension changes on ANY Lexus.

My F is in no way near the caliber of a Ferrari, and it never will be! There are just certain cars I would rather visually leave stock, mostly being the specialty division variants...whether it be the F, M, RS, etc.... I get your point though, and I am in no way against modding (ie: my SC college car). It is IMHO a very difficult task to make such vehicles "more special". That doesn't mean it's impossible. I can only name less than a handful of F's that look better than factory

and same thing for m3, specially those with 18" stock wheels. people who don't know about the car, definitely won't know it's m3 vs 335.

so what's the point? what makes stock wheels vs aftermarket wheels a "way" to cheapen a car?
