Angry 2008 Rims - Ugly?

Is it me, or are the '08 rims the ugliest rims to grace an S2k yet? IMHO the '06-'07 radial spokes were waaaaay better looking.

I'm thinking of getting a new S2k after selling my AP1 last year, but I would HAVE to get aftermarket rims before I even bought the new car!

yeah, i dont really like 5 spoke wheels where the spokes flare out. I like them to either taper or stay uniform as they approach the lip.

This is true. I was the same way, Now I think they are the best wheel yet. I'm sure it's going to be the same thing with the 08 wheels.

Not to be mean, but they look better than your Ap1 chromies.
