500 New wheels

Introduction

Wheels
Not my cup of tea. They do seem to match your pink roof, again not my idea of style.
Your car, do what you like. However, not sure you will get many positive comments on this forum!
 
With the risk of upsetting some regulars, why are people so offensive on this forum? I am an established member on many forums but recently joined this one as I have purchased a 500. 'Normally' forums are a great source of learning and fun, but it seems a lot of peeps here are quite rude!!! I hope I have got the wrong impression of this place and I guess only time will tell. :(

Glad your pleased with your new wheels Simves1, black rims always work a treat on a white car (y)
 
Offensive? The thread was posted to get comments and people posted their comments! None were offensive. Personally i don't like it at all either, but owing to the reactions i get when i say what i feel, i decided not to say anything.

The wheels make the car look very cheap. Few things make a car look good like a good choice of oem wheels or a tasteful set of aftermarket wheels make by a decent manufacturer. Anything else just looks cheap.
 
I appreciate your knowledge Maxi and I know from your posts that you make are invaluable to the forum, but I find some comments generally on here a little abrupt. The OP's wheels or car might not be to everyones taste but I think comments like 'what a total mess' are not really that constructive!
You are right in what you say though, 'if the OP likes it then that's all that matters'. (y)

Notice it's got the usual 500 bent sill near the jacking point. Seen it on so many 500's. Doesn't happen with the cheap scissor jack in the boot, so it must be dealers/mechanics. Stingy Abarth don't even give you a jack.
As for the look, it's an individual thing, but might work better without the red band around the wheels.
 
Never been a fan of black wheels on any car. But it's the op's choice and that's ok. They weren't really asking for comments just showing what they had added.
This is a discussion forum, anything posted is going to get comments.
 
That's fair enough. Like you say comments will be posted. And everyone is entitled to there opinion, but someone saying it looks a total mess isn't the best of comments even if you don't like it.

You said it looks cheap and I agree, it's a bit of a miss match, but I have seen worse that do look like a total mess.

Just my thoughts.

The black wheels don't go well with the roof or the mirror colour.

What I like about this forum, when you get used to it, is the honest feedback, and the freedom to say what you feel, within reason.
The moderators are firm but fair.
I also have a Vauxhall Mokka. I have been banned from their forum so many times it is a joke. Not allowed to say anything, such an unbelievably sterile, boring site. Full of boring farts.
