On this episode of Ideal, we delve into the tumultuous world of OEM wheels, separating the wheat from the chaff with surgical precision. We kick off with the Subaru 22b STI's 17-inch gold BBS wheels, a rallying icon that commands respect and admiration. Moving on, we encounter the Tesla Arrow covers, a ghastly sight that even the most ardent Tesla enthusiasts struggle to defend. But fear not, for the Mercedes-Benz monoblocks swoop in to save the day with their timeless elegance and ability to elevate any Benz from the '80s or '90s to new heights of sophistication.

As we journey through the annals of automotive history, we stumble upon the Lexus SC 430's wheels, a design so perplexing it leaves us questioning the very fabric of reality. But lo and behold, the M4 GTS's star spoke orange wheels emerge as a beacon of hope, defying convention and winning hearts with their audacious color choice. Alas, the Genesis GV 70's wheels fall short, plagued by a peculiar Spider-Man theme that leaves us scratching our heads in bewilderment.

Enter the Ferrari F40, a masterpiece of automotive engineering, adorned with centerlock 5-spoke star wheels that exude racing pedigree and sheer class. Meanwhile, the SN95 Gen Mustang's triar wheels fail to strike a chord, missing the mark and failing to capture the essence of true muscle car aesthetics. But fear not, for the Alpena turbine wheels grace our presence, a paragon of timeless design and luxury that leaves us in awe of its sheer beauty and sophistication.

As we navigate the treacherous waters of automotive design, we encounter the GMC Envoy XL's wheels, a visual cacophony that defies logic and taste in equal measure. Yet, all is not lost, for the Porsche fuchs wheels stand as a testament to timeless design and unwavering style, cementing their status as an icon in the realm of automotive wheels. And so, the wheel of fate turns, revealing the good, the bad, and the truly exceptional in the world of OEM wheels.
