- Hey guys, what's going on? It's Alex
from Fitment Industries and today
we're going to be talking to you
about the opposite of cool wheels.
We're going to be talking about bizarre ones.
Now, I was going to say ugly but
apparently our intern decided that
ugly was too rough of a word in 2018.
He prefers the term bizarre but there mostly just ugly.
So, we figured you guys would want
to see some of our favorite takes
on some of the weirdest wheels
we've seen out there on the market.
Let us know in the comments if you think we missed anything.
Of course, before we get started don't forget
to subscribe. We're trying to hit 50,000.
I'm doing the hand movements because
Jasper behind us is doing the hand movements.
He looks ridiculous. Alright, let's get started.
Just right into in number five.
So, the number five is the Vision Morgana.
If you've ever seen a Vision Morgana,
you probably didn't know it was called a Vision Morgana.
And what that is, it's a weird rhombus looking,
two spoke-ish looking wheel that
was really popular in kind of the
dub phase of the after market car community.
And they actually are still being made to this day.
If you want to go pick up a set,
which are like 26 by nine and a half,
they're like $1,300 and they pretty
much come in like two colors they come in chrome
and they come in chrome with black lip.
They're weird looking wheels, but
if you really want them on your Impalas then go nuts.
They're pretty much just a weird
looking wheel with no exposed lug nuts or anything
like that and pretty must just look like
a really poorly shaped square.
Off to number four, we're talking about
a wheel brand that we're actually going to cover in a wheel
history this soon, pretty soon, soon-ish, pretty-ish soon.
The Ronal, Rönal, Ranal, a teddy bear wheel.
If you guys didn't know, Ronal, Rönal, Ranal,
whatever you want to call them.
We'll get into that in the wheel history,
was a company that's made and is probably
one of the biggest OEM manufacturers right next to Enkei
and they specialized in and at one point in their day,
they decided to make a teddy bear wheel.
Now, a teddy bear wheel is exactly what it sounds like.
It's a wheel that looks like a teddy bear.
There is spokes, I guess if you consider the
two legs, two arms, and two ears that
connect to the outside lip, spokes
and it overall went off pretty well.
So, if you plan on putting them on a Mazda Miata
or a VW Beetle, then this wheel is for you
but they really aren't made anymore.
You can find on Ebay or you could find them
on Craigslist if you're lucky enough to come across them.
But we say that they're bizarre
or ugly, I'd probably say bizarre.
But if you really want to run them,
they're really not that terrible looking.
Just probably not something you'd
want to roll up to a car show with.
Now, we're going to take it back even further.
Back in the day when you needed to have like
leather seats and animal fur and animal skin
to be deemed a rich person in the
car community and just in life in general.
It didn't matter if you were a millionaire,
if you rode around on cloth seats, you just didn't do it.
So, a sign Asanti was like, yo why don't we just
apply that same exact mentality of the Cadillac series
to wheels and Asanti came out
with a series called the Skin Series
which is exactly what it sounded like.
It was animal skin on Asanti wheels.
It's about as disgusting as you could
possibly imagine it to be because
they put just pretty much anything on there.
One of the most common ones you saw
and you can see still in the wonder world of Google,
is the Ostrich skin that they put
on the outside of they're fatty seven spoke style wheels.
It looked terrible. It was awkward to look at.
Very uncomfortable and I'm surprised Asanti
actually survived that weird, little design.
Anyway, moving on to number two.
Now number two goes out to all of my
guys and gals, probably, that were a ten
at some point in their life and they wanted to
make a cool RuneScape account.
They had to go and they sat there and
they looked at the screen for like
two minutes before they wanted to
come up with a really cool name for their account.
So, that's pretty much what happened
with these guys because they're called the Arelli Assassin.
Just like your username in RuneScape when you were
10 years old, it sounded really cool at the time but
now that you've grown up into a big boy you
realize just how ridiculous that name sounds.
The Arelli Assassin was a weird like
starfish and a stingray like twisted with like a shuriken.
It just is a weird looking wheel.
No lug nuts it's got things going on all over the place.
The only color that we saw out there was chrome.
If you really want to be cool,
they were on a lot of different prototype cars
in the early 2000s and they continue to
be probably just a weird S looking wheel.
You can find them on forums actually pretty commonly.
A lot of people have developed a
cult following for these wheels
just because of how ridiculously looking these wheels are.
They definitely top the board in
terms of bizarre looking wheels.
Into making wrong decisions, we're
going to talk about the number one bizarre wheel
that we found out there in the internet,
which you have probably seen before. It was on Top Gear.
It's ridiculous. Jeremy Clarkson coined it and
that is the phallic-shaped wheel.
I don't even know how to say it on YouTube
because YouTube has guidelines and
we don't want to get yelled at with guidelines.
It's multi spoke wheel that has added reinforcement
and it's a spherical shape around the wheel rim
that is also enforced by actual spokes that
enter into the center of the wheel that is then
enlarged in the shape of another conical style look
with a cut at the end to help really
add into the rigidity of the wheel.
In terms of what it looks like,
I'm not even going to, you get it.
It looks like what you think it looks like.
They have a ridiculous following.
You can find them on Ebay every once in a while
but the word on the street is nobody really
knows where they came from and why.
It's probably just a rumor or somebody
decided to be funny at a wheel shop.
They're like "Hey, let's make a mold for $60,000,"
and the guys are like, "what should we make it of?"
and they're like, "put your d*** in it,
we'll just copy it 12 times turn it into a wheel."
So, those are our top five most bizarre wheels.
We hope you guys enjoyed. Check out fitmentindustries.com.
