The best factory wheels ever

Wheels. The right set will set off your car, define the stance and generally provide a window into your soul and your views towards Donald Trump. Yes, we're talking about you, random Toyota Premio owner with the shiny dollar sign for a wheel, cruising the streets of Dhanmondi.

This got us thinking – what are the wheels that no one in their right minds would ever think of changing, no matter how much money they have, since they're so cool from the factory anyway?
