This would make more sense if the wheels were to scale…..
The Corvette and Mustang are the worst looking, but the rest look pretty good
Only p1, i8 and r8 could pass

They could make a modern version of those wheels
yeah, but problem is- Old wheels was small. Like F40 wheels was 15’ or 16 inch. Now Ferraris have 20 inch and bigger wheels.
Personally, I’m struggling to find any that look horrendous. Maybe the Mustang (could’ve done with a different year’s rims, such as those off of a Boss 429 or something along those lines. Plenty of them actually look REALLY good, like the Abarth, McLaren, GT, and maybe even the Porsche. Also, 4C with steelies <3

spectacular is not the word I would use to describe these examples…
