THis one took an age to get together, it runs over time and I think it is my favourite one of these so far (closely followed by the under 2k cars one). OEM wheels are cool, they can make for some great, cost effective swapping and can produce some inspired results. Plus you get some serious car nerd points for knowing about awesome OEM wheels. Enjoy... We have a whole thread dedicated to all this already if you want some more inspiration: forum.retro-rides.org/thread/99066/wheels-borrowed

That was great. My favourite at the moment makes me a bit sad as they're a truly terrible car that I could never bring myself to own, a low Vauxhall Insignia on 20" BMW wheels that I see pretty much every day on my way home from work. Can't take a photo while I'm driving so here are some others. The one I see is a bit lower and the fitment is a bit more extreme but you get the gist.

Hard one, there are so many. For me, it's probably BMW Style 32s. Stylish, simple, they sit well on everything from an E36 to an E65 and just plain look the part. They just pip the Style 5 and Style 22s to the top Bavarian spot for me. I also have a really soft spot for the Peugeot Raptors. Teledial-esque, I have them on my 106 Quiksilver and they just look classy.

As rattlecan said the four spoke RS alloy is a superb wheel Also I just love the plain simplicity of the lotus cortina steel Fitted on many of my fords since the mid 80s

I just put a set of these speedline iron cross's on my daily panda. Think they originally came as a factory option on later model x1/9's. I really like them and if fiat wasn't an oddball pcd to everything else think they would have made a great alternative for fiestas and stuff of that era. Just needs the arch gap drastically reducing when finances allow.

I think my favorite ever OEM wheels on different cars, car will be this forever, and I'm not a huge air-cooled fan. Nice enough on a Carlton but not aggressive enough. Bolt them to a Beetle, smaller tyres, bit of polishing. Absolute perfection.

Yeah my plan is actually to paint the little webbing bits black to hide them a bit, they do need a refurb so it'll get done then but before refurbing them I just put them on to make sure the offset worked. They actually fit just about perfect I think.

One OEM wheel that's become almost a victim of it's own success is the Nissan R33 GTR wheel They've been put on so many things that people are now asking more money for them than many decent aftermarket wheels.. Just tell them to trott on & buy some TSW Blades then, coz they look pretty much identical to me

Not sure I agree with the view of slot mags being 'OEM'. They might have been used by a couple of small scale car makers but probably because they were fashionable at the time and they thought it might help sell cars. ALso perhaps a cheap alloy for them rather than using steels (as early Scimitars did) or something specially made. So I'd say they were an aftermarket wheel used by an OEM rather than an OEM wheel.
Hmm, putting it that way makes me think an 'OEM' wheel ought to be one out of the design office of that manufacturer or at least applied new to only their products.
