A Mercedes obviously!
I think most wheels other than the AMG ones look ghetto and naff, well you can include chromed anything (including AMGs) in that category too.

Just because they are very expensive it doesn't mean they are good! I guess that is part of the 'ghetto' mentality though

I dont think its so much 'ghetto' which is a racist term anyway. its more of a trademark of people who lack taste. VERY much lacking in taste. when you see them getting in to a high end marque the look on your face is one of shock. then disgust. thats before you even get a chance to see the rims. they tend to dress as badly as they do anything else, ethnicity or address be damned.
