Not sure what they were thinking here. OZ make some decent wheels but this combination of a red USDM 2009 Nissan GT-R and chrome 20″s featured on the latest Tire Rack wholesale catalog is certainly not something I would do.

A somewhat less honorable way to stand out is to at first purposely hold back and then impressively show huge improvement. Has BMW done just that with its 7-series?

Porsche has probably never caught the attention of the German public more than in the past two years—but not due to its cars. What has everyone talking is the ongoing takeover of VW, with its far-ranging implications for Germany's automotive landscape.
