LaFerrari, Huracan and i8 are the only ones that actually work. The rest are shocking.
From the P1 down yes! The rest is rubbish 😖

The only good looking one is the Ford GT, pretty badass on those wheels.

Is “Spectacular” meaning different in UK English than in US English? These retro wheels doesn’t fit well. In my opinion, all these cars looks better with modern wheels.
Only modern car, which looks OK with retro wheels is BMW M3 on BBS LaMans ;)
The Ford GT, LaFerrari and i8 are all spot on!
Thats what i did
“Spectacular”
