Those wheels are hideous. The 08 had the best one. The gunmetal ones.

I'm not a big fan of the asymmetrical spoke design.

so stock wheels look the same? well... why should stock be ne different than aftermarket? most aftermarket wheels look the same too, mesh/5spoke/10spoke/ look at work T1S and the iforged version... the shapes of cars from various manufactures from old, they looked the same from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, till now. Once company makes something all the others jump on the bandwagon, same goes for moives, restruants... everything.
