I was thinking the other day that, all exciting / quick / fun factory stock cars have a similar theme. That being their factory wheels. Wheels that adorn the car that scream, don't pick on me cause your gunna lose, compared to the bog stock version of the same car.
They all have a very similar shape / layout / spoke arrangement that just WORKS visually, for me any way. Feel free to add any others that have similar spoke arrangements that you deem worthy. Here's some that spring to mind, starting with mine naturally  TRD Aurion:  BMW:  Cadillac  Fairlane G220  Ford FPV Typhoon  Honda:  Lotus Exige:  Mazda MX-5 (for handling more so than Brutus beef cake quickness:  Mercedes:  Mitsi EVO:  R32 Golf:  That all folks

Love that Makinen Evo.....
How about the Globe Volante alloys factory fitted to Fords (Falcon, Cortina, Escort) of the late 70's and early 80's

Visuals aren't the primary factor, it's lowest possible unsprung mass at a given price point.

Have you ever noticed a common theme when it comes to fast cars and their wheels?
