The article about a Volkswagen Golf to the Mercedes (or Carlsson) rims made quite a bit of discussion in the comments. And so we want to know: how far can you go with rims?

Let us to begin to make it clear that Waves on Mercedes rims are not new. It happens been around for centuries and it’s not only the Waves, and certainly not the only Mercedes rims. So we have Scirocco’s on Porsche Turbo wheels, screws people Bentley wheels on Audi’s and Gallardo rims fit on a Golf.

And then we have the exchanging of rims of different car brands, while there is aftermarket even the craziest things happen. To Rolls royce cars on 32 inch. And what do you think of these Audi’s?

The Mercedes wheels on the Volkswagen Golf took at fellow MrBrown in any case, what intemperate feelings to the top and that led to a beautiful discussion in. A discussion that was decided with the comment of dennis001 that the above image linked with the question of “Can this or not, and why?”

I want that question to expand: what will it velgengebied and what is not? Is the personal preference of the owner of the car leading or are some things really “not done”? It Is 100% not done to the wheels swap between brands? And so yes, there may be not at all between the brands can be switched or is it ok as it is “within the family” of the brand, so not, for example, Mercedes to Volkswagen, but Porsche on Volkswagen? Is there a relationship between the current value of the car where the wheels are on and the car where they are screwed? Switching between brands “worse” than the replacement of rims by aftermarket wheels? Is a 30-inch gold on your Camaro better than Bentley under a S4? In short: what is your opinion about changing the wheels on a car? What is done and what is not done? You can call but!

PS: Oh, and @dennis001: I think the Nothelle N-Classic wheels on that Corrado quite good, no strange conflicting designs (although the wheels are slightly “busier” than the bodywork) and in terms of the zeitgeist, they are also nice and close to each other. Best ok!
