Strange Compliment

[RosarioM]

So last night I was in a parking lot and I see a guy checking out my car. Not unusual as many have noted in many threads here, the MME gets looks. As I approach to get in he says “I love the wheels on your car.” I was taken aback and said “thank you?” thinking he was being sarcastic. I have the GT and I HATE the flower power wheels. I’m also so used to people on here complaining about them that I assumed he was being sarcastic but I think he genuinely liked them.

I don’t hate the flower wheels. Someone is bound to be taken with them. You found that person.

But then he said nothing about the car. Just the wheels. He was looking at a grabber blue GT. So rare around where I live and the wheels of all things got his attention. ?

I love my GT wheels. I didn't think I would, but now like them even better than then GTPE wheels. And I'm sick of typical spoke style wheels for a while anyway. Plus, they are sooo easy to clean too.

No one liked the taste of their first beer either.

But it does sound like you’re trying to convince us that bikini models are too skinny.

I hated the look of the GT wheels when first shown, but over the past year they've grown on me steadily. So much so, that I don't mind them at all now. I'd be proud to drive them.

Yeah I like the GT wheels as well. But when it comes to wheels I admit I am pretty easy, as long as they aren't Chrome I can usually appreciate all of them if they fit well with the rest of the vehicle. OPs beautiful Grabber Blue GT would automatically make most wheel combos look good just by association.

My neighbor said he loved my GT wheels as well...said it "made the car". Then I got my current wheels and he was like "ok yeah those are way better" lol

If I was choosing between the GT and GTPE I would go for the latter solely due to the wheels.

I actually like the GT wheels too. Not my favorite by any means, but I like them. It’s cool to see something so different sometimes, and it’s fitting on an electric Mustang. Good color scheme too. Have you see the wheels on the comfort/tech package selects? Maybe the ugliest stock wheels I’ve literally ever seen.

My project for the spring is to dip the chrome part of the atock wheels

my project for the spring is to plastidip the chrome part of the wheels a matte black. I think it will take away from the flower look of the wheels and match the rest of the car where there is little to no chrome. Lately I’m also thinking of plastidip ping the GT badge a nice black. Create my own black package ?

I like the GT wheels to, they have really grown on me. They are also pretty distinctive looking, I can only think of the Alfa Romeo Giulia as having something similar.

Obviously, Mencken was misunderstood, misquoted, and a man before his time!

For the record, I like my GT wheels just fine! I did love the distinctive Alfa Romeo wheels on my leased Giulia!!

I'm considering doing exactly the same changes on my SB GT.

Not a strange compliment. I have a GT and I also prefer them over the GTPE wheels.
