This might be one of the most subjective topics you could pick. The style of vehicle, which leads to the viewers expectations for what looks right, and the age of the viewer along with a bunch of other less prominent qualifiers all contribute. I'm in agreement on the comments about aspect ratio, spoke/face style on, let's say a '32 sedan, the more modern stuff just seems like a sour musical note at the symphony. But I have little problem with that sort of thing on say a current vintage performance car where that style and the resultant performance go hand in hand. I chuckle a bit at comments like Mike's about the red wheel, wide white combo. In the early '90s when some of us resurrected that look I can't tell you how many positive comments we got, "oh, I remember when I was in high school.............". Of course, that was the point. But in the intervening 20+ years it's become cliche to the point of boredom so has lost it's impact as a "styling statement" . Good topic though, lots to talk about............
