I like the simplicity of the wheel design on the Traverse. It's not too complicated or pretentious. The bold spokes give a feeling of strength to the profile of the car. And they look easy to clean.
What do you think?

Is this a plastic wheel cover we're looking at or is it real steel or alloy?

It's a nice visual design. It's basically a six spoke version of the Camaro wheel, which is a really nice design I think; sort of a futuristic update to the American Racing Torq-Thrust.

I've always loved them but I think it has something to do with the size.

The thing I love about this wheel is that it is not chrome like every other optional General Motors Rim.
Am I the only one that things chrome comes off as cheap and chintzy these days?

Those dimples between the spokes will become annoying once the grime starts building up and a simple sponge no longer gets the job done.

Did the additional weight of the leaf crack the concrete? I just don't know...

Looks ripe for rubbing on curbs. Hard to tell for sure from this angle, but it looks like it sticks out, and I hate wheels that stick out.

I agree. Wheels are easily overdone.

Just as ugly as the vehicle itself.

They're alright, but I like these much better:

Just a sharp and clean wheel design, hard to argue with it.
@adavis2493: No you aren't but I am not one of them. Yes, cheap chrome looks cheap but a high quality chrome on a nicely designed wheel on the right color car looks bloody fantastic.

It's definitely clean... I like it. Certainly not a fan of any wheel with a positive offset.

I like the euroflange rims but I'm not a big fan of six lugnuts on any vehicle. A little overkill on a family runabout if you ask me, but then again I'm nitpicking.

Better than the gauges, that's for sure.

They're nice. I actually like most GM wheels these days, the polished 20s on the Camaro are just gorgeous in person

Nice looking wheels on a Schmoo of a car.....it just looks soooooooo boring in silver.

Very nice design, though 5 spokes would be even better.
