Default What was Audi thinking?!
The 'sport' style rims that audi gives with the sport package have got to be the ugliest looking rims I have ever seen. The pre 2001 rims im talking about. So ugly! Why would they call them rims, and moreover, why would they give you such crappy ugly rims when you pay so much extra for the sport package?!

Uhhhh, they don't call them "rims". But yes, they're ridiculous looking for sure.

You insulted just about half the AW viewing audience.

They are horrid though - look like they belong on a Bug. They look like Daiseys for chrissakes.

Default Perhaps but....
Those 'rims' say to their owner "Please replace me!" And it is for this reason that so many Audiworld folks buy new rims!

Default Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....
Or
market data suggests....
Or
You outfit your cars with my rims and I'll be sure to give you kickbacks....
Or
Wonderbah! The stupid Americans will love them...

Just kidding. I don't care for them myself, but I have seen much worse.

Was it the Geo that had the white, outward protrusions from their wheels?

The wheels on my '96 are pretty nice for stockers.
