I may not know much, but I know a stupid looking wheel design when I see it.
And even AM is not immune. Look at the Orange Flame edition of the Carbon Black (oxymoron) DBS. The wheels aren't much better than the ones in this post. Too much German tuner mentaility going on at AM I think. It's bad enough we've got Mansory without AM itself jumping into the questionable taste pond.

But let me clarify some things
For one, yes, Mansory is based in Germany, but the founder Kourosh Mansory is from Iran. And btw. most of the Mansory tuned cares go to Easter Europe followed by USA (!!).
For two, browsing some German AM forums you will see, almost no of the German AM owners do tune their car. Most of them leave it as original as possible. Even asking for some advice about lowering spring will get you some appalled responses. Same applies for most of the UK forums. In fact most of the tuned (pimped) AM are owned by you (US) guys.
You can not blame us Germans for everything…

I can blame you for this....
"Here’s another tuning by Graf Weckerle. The flower type wheel design is the most unique feature on this Ferrari 458 Italia and we are guessing that German tuner was projecting these wheels with women in mind. Equipped with sport exhaust system, this Ferrari 458 also features engine tuning to produce over 600 hp."

Unfortunately, yes, they are real. Go to the company's website (Graf whatever). Wait till you see the interiors, you'll be horrified.
