There's no reason IMO that they could not have implemented more rims (as in GT4) into GT5, let alone the upcoming GT6 title.

I think it will make a come back. As you can see from the picture of the presentation at Silverstone, the wheel list has the Alfa Romeo 8C wheels, 86GT wheels, and possibly more. It also looks like widths and diameters may also be an option.

It was one of the cooler features in GT4. It was slightly unrealistic in that any wheel could be put on (almost) any car by magically scaling to fit, but there are plenty of replicas being made these days anyway.
Maybe they will allow us to sell our stock wheels on some kind of market place? That'd be interesting. I love doing OEM swaps, it's strangely comforting to my OCD in that I know that the wheels kinda still belong.
If the wheel shop allows for different sizes, this might get messy though. Still, replicas. (But in that case, it shouldn't be "wheel of the day" any more, but as a separate shop, perhaps - or maybe you get "wheel chips" when you buy a car?!

This would be amazing

Regarding GT4 wheels... I think I've quoted this image like a dozen times on GTP already and I'll never stop quoting until we get something similar again in GT.
It was... amazing. I really hope PD does it again in GT6.
Steelies. On. Everything!

Considering that wheels are one of the biggest and most common things people do to personalize their cars (and how drastically they can alter the look), I really hope PD puts a lot more focus into this aspect as they've already claimed they're doing. OEM swap wheels and a greater selection of wheels from manufacturers (as well as swapping racing wheels with other racing cars) would be awesome and would, in many regards, numb other customization elements that might end up lacking. For me, as long as they have a good wheel selection (SPEEDLINES!) then I could care less about a livery editor or body kits (though those will also be nice)

I truly miss those RAYS rims from Nismo R34 R-tune or R32 S-tune!
In GT5, I could hardly find a rim choice that could fit my liking for my R34.
Hope they could make a return in GT6, and with different colours, width and diameter to choose from!

Actually, not by much. Not the tips, anyway. But the rest of the exhaust, maybe. I think the visual, aural and performance aspects can realistically be three separate areas of customisation. There's also the intake side of things, too.
It's really not too much just to have the choice between the visual parts that are available. Some of them were horrid in GT5; it was particularly annoying when the exhaust that sounded best had the worst looking tips on.
It's also perfectly possible to change the sound arbitrarily, but we'll have to see what these improved sounds are before we can guess whether we'll get that ability.

More options is always good. GRID 2 has a particularly good range of rims. Being able to change rim diameter helps also.
I'm with you all on this, gt5 was a huge let down in the customization department in general. Not enough different wings or body kits to choose from. FAR from enough different rim styles to choose from, there needs to be hundreds of new aftermarket rims and on top of that bring back the used rim dealership. Randomly selcted rims taken from the cars in the game that cycle over like the used car dealership.

It would also be nice if wheels were considered like the tuning parts in that if you want to have an inventory you can. Install them on a car and if you decide to change back to stock wheels or something else, they go into your inventory for use on another car or if you decide you don't want them anymore you can sell/delete them.
