Which cars look best with smallest wheel size?

Postby aaron17 » December 16th, 2020, 7:31 am

I know the bigger the wheel , the more cool it makes the car in the looks department. The smaller the wheel size .. it makes the car look like a shell and awkward. But how about the other way around? Which cars look best with smallest wheel size on our nations roads? Seeing that we need more rubber in these harsh roads.
Might be a tough one..

Most newer vehicles because of the grade we get already have the smallest tyre size already fitted.

But to topic wheel design, if period specific would determine if you can pull off the chunky tyre look.

I've seen Aquas on Volk TE27-style wheels with chunky tyres and they looked pretty decent...same for the current model Note.
