This thread is supposed to be for you all blabbering (That's a word? Hmm never knew) about your favorite types of wheels.

Lets start out with mine: MB Battles! Love the indented style, especially on RX7's

I love wheels with 5 or 7 spokes, and with lots of depth. However, I'm pretty picky.
 
Enkei. I'm biased :P

But seriously, I'm all for the impression that it all comes down to what car they're going on. As a general rule though the 4 brands I love the most in terms of design are Enkei, OZ Racing, WedsSport and BBS.

RAY'S GramLights line appeals to me a lot, too.

Preferably deep dish rear, not up front but these:

American Racing Torque Thrust II (look better without center caps IMO)

This one needs red paint on the inside like how I painted mine IRL

Probably the Work Meister S1/SSR Professor SP1. The ATS Classic for classic cars (duh) and the Volk Racing TE37SL would be close, though.
 
Really depends on the car. I've been looking for wheels for my RSX and the only ones I really like are the OEM '05-'06 17's and Desmond Regamaster Evos. Nothing else flows with the car, imo.

One of my favorite wheels anyway, Evos are what I'm going to get at some point:

Like I said in the Sexy/Mean thread, my favorites are probably these Work Meister CR-01s. But they only look good on older cars. I'm going to see about getting some in custom dimensions once I get another 92-93 Accord.

TE37s are up there as well.
 
Wheels? I prefer them round.
Technically, all wheels are round.

Anyway, I don't know why but I don't like even numbered spokes on wheels. Wheels with 10 or more spokes are exceptions. I also don't like wheels with anything but 5 wheel nuts.

I'm weird like that.
 
I like chrome wheels, personally. I like being able to see my reflection in them as I shine them. They have a little bit of extra pizzaz that alloys and powdercoats just don't seem to carry off. Something like this:



I also like turbine-style wheels that have many spokes -on the right vehicle they look really rad.
