GTP Cool Wall: 1970 Monteverdi Hai 450 SS

[Slash]

I mean on some stuff they aren't too awful but I think most of us correlate them to being on big land yacht Caddys driven by older folk for years and years which gives off the uncool impression.

 

[Zenith]

And... If you think wire wheels look bad on cars, that would be ignorant?

Depends why you think they look bad.

The reasons @JMoney689 cited were incorrect and ignorant. Therefore his opinion is an ignorant opinion.

Just like if I thought the Miura was the ugliest car in the world?

Depends why you think that. If you were to criticize the Muira's design for being a ripoff of a Ford GT40 you would have an ignorant opinion.

This is what JMoney did/does/is doing. He has an inaccurate impression of simple facts and formed an opinion around his ignorance. This opinion is ignorant.

The logical next step is to sit down and learn but... you know...

True enough. 👍

 

[Cano]

That still doesn't change the fact that wire wheels are god awful.

Lol, fact

Can you put that post in a spoiler @Cano, it makes this page hard to read on mobile, because of all the scrolling necessary.

Nawww because nobody ever clicks those 'sides, you're not just scrolling, you're looking at pictures of awesome old cars with wire wheels 👍

You mean those ugly, plain-jane designed cars of the 80's.

Great era to from an opinion on wheels that have been around 50 years before that....

 

[Slash]

That doesn't make them any less appealing. They remind me of bicycles

I'm sure (yes, sure) most people relate them to Ferraris, Astons, Jaaags, Lambos and other sports cars of the 50s. I personally think of these:

That from the classic era. From an era specially you shouldn't be oblivious to, they remind me of these:

And also of Van Nuys, circa 1969:

What is this btw? Looks sweet.

 

[Slash]

Wire wheels on rods are something I make an exception to simply because rod.

 

[Leggy1]

You probably don't like wire wheels because most muscle cars didn't have them, they're too classy, elegant and sophisticated to be on cars like that.

 

[TheCracker]

Wire wheels officially became 'naff' on December 31st 1965. Any car produced after that time (excluding anything still in production) definitely looks better with 'alloys'

This is fact.

 

[Cano]

1965 Buick Riviera on hydraulics, circa 1967 or so. From the time when customs and lowriders still flirted with each other, a few years from the gold chrome/Dayton wheels explosion.

This is fact.

Not.

 

[Cano]

*insert strawman; I'm not on my computer and don't have the picture*

I never said most cars from the 40's had wire wheels, I said the 40's was the last decade they looked good.

Yeup, as we just saw.

FTFY.

I think the Monteverdi is ugly. That is my opinion. It's not inaccurate or incorrect because it's merely an opinion, and the same goes for your opinion as well. We aren't trying to prove anything factual here.

How about instead of whining that I'm ignorant you tell us exactly why I am incorrect. You guys just love to throw claims out there without backing them up with reasoning, don't you? I guess you don't see a point in reasoning because you're still getting likes on your posts anyway.

Talk about the car, not me. This is getting old.

There's nothing wrong with your opinion, it's the way you voice your opinion that's the problem.

 

[Cano]

This is getting old.

Hint hint.

 

[TheCracker]

Not.

I'm yet to see any evidence that proves me wrong

 

[Jet Badger]

I'm yet to see any evidence that proves me wrong

I suspect this will go over way too many people's heads.

 

[Cano]

I'm yet to see any evidence that proves me wrong

Come on dude, not even a Daytona on Borranis? I like the star-style wheels those came with, but the Borranis wake the car up stylistically like nothing else!

Altough I mostly agree that by 1970 wire wheels were pushing their welcome, there are cars from that era that I think still pull the look off well. The Monteverdi is also one of them.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Wire wheels stop working when you do stuff like this:

Do you honestly believe that's why people are having a go at you? For imaginary internet thumbs up?

 

[Downhill Dino]

MGB?

 

[Tornado]

A fairly difficult proposition, since every time someone does exactly that you attempt to change your argument and act like the change was what you were always arguing.

You guys just love to throw claims out there without backing them up with reasoning, don't you? I guess you don't see a point in reasoning because you're still getting likes on your posts anyway.

You see, that is an example of a strawman. Take notes before you throw the word out again.

Much prefer the 5-spoke mag-alloys personally. The wires just date it IMO.

MGB?

1962

 

[Downhill Dino]

Darn, thought it might've been counted since it was produced after '65...

 

[Roger the Horse]

How about the MGC then?

 

[Legro]

How about the MGC then?

Almost exactly the same, MGC is MGB with different engine.

 

[JMoney]

You see, that is an example of a strawman. Take notes before you throw the word out again.

I'm aware of that, I'm just trying to make sense of your position. You still aren't telling why my reasons for disliking the Monteverdi are incorrect.

 

[Tornado]

I'm aware of that

Obviously not, since:

You still aren't telling why my reasons for disliking the Monteverdi are incorrect.

You just did it again.
