THE EXCITING WHEELS OF THE 2019 NEW YORK AUTO SHOW

Wheels in the sky keep turning

Every year, scours the floor of the New York Auto Show looking for design trends to highlight. One year it was the gear shifting . The following, the grids . This year we decided to take a closer look at tires, those overlooked but very important components for the overall appearance of a vehicle.

You know how they say wearing the right glasses can change the way people see your face? The same can be said for a stylish set of rims. This is why so many car enthusiasts spend more time worrying about their wheels than any other feature. Wheels are the defining feature of your car. Without them, your rims would look bare and lonely.

This year's auto show in New York was full of stylish rims. On the surface, they may seem indistinguishable from each other. But the closer you get the more nuances appear. We even did some retro throwbacks to offer a sense of how wheel design has evolved over the decades. WHICH one is your favorite?
