These abominations from the Genesis GV70:

yeah, but it’s certainly part of the fad you mentioned

If it’s any consolation, they’re not the ugliest wheels....

I have these.

I love those base wheels. They give me German taxi vibes.

Uhhh...that is not an Equinox wheel.  Thats 18-current Blazer.  

Honestly I don’t think any of the Taycan’s wheel options look especially good, but these standard 19" Aero design wheels have to be the worst. I’m sure they serve a function but they are outrageously ugly.

I’ve always hated the wheels on my mk7 GTI. 

how dare you.

No.

Sorry, found them:

I always thought these (and some of the other S-Class/Maybach) wheels looked like absolute dogshit:

Unpopular opinion:

I always hated these from early 2000's Saturn Ion

These Dodge Challenger wheels from a few years back...

Subaru’s mis-machined 2020+(?) wheels. They did not even bother to align the bolt pattern to the design nor the blacked out paint. So five bolts at unequal distances on a six/twelve design (that is kinda subaru ugly to begin with).

I don’t mention my role here on Jalopnik. I try not to mix business with pleasure :D

Curious, when shopping for a car for your clients do you ever bring up that you write on Jalopnik? If so, does this help or hinder? Or would consider that in bad taste?

Same reason why I would never buy a third party extended warranty. Those companies will find a reason not to pay out.

Easily solved. If the VIN doesn’t match instruct the shipper not to pick it up.
