They are strongly reminiscent of wheels used on various Mustangs in the 70s, 80s and 90s.







Including the infamous TRX wheels:



Given the Probe GT's original intended role as a successor to the Mustang, it's probably not a coincidence that the first Probe GT had wheels that echoed that theme.



Anyway, they look all wrong on the M3, which IMHO should only ever have either the M Spoke II wheels or the M Contour wheels.

And the white interior is gross.

And why would you put that much motor into a convertible?

But I like the color. Reminds me of my parents' old '89 Probe GT, which I wrecked.

Rims definitely reek!

They are only slightly better than these.
