Nothing suits a car quite as well as a factory-fitted rim.
Whether it’s a rugged Ford Ranger Raptor wheel or a sleek Alfa Romeo alloy, they enhance the look of any vehicle.
Apart from looking good, they also perform a key duty – keeping your car on the road in combination with the right tyres.
The blade-like rims on the Ferrari SF90 Stradale also double as fans to cool down the brakes at high speeds, as an additional example of functionality.
Certain companies also see a wheel design as iconic, and as a way to mark a specific generation of a car.
Case in point: Every generation of the VW Golf GTI gets its own exclusive wheel design.
The better-looking standard rims are usually on the range-topping models, however, meaning that in most cases you need to pay top-dollar to roll around on the finest factory alloys.
