High Roller: STRUT announces five new wheel designs
Click above for high-res gallery of new STRUT wheel designs
If you're a STRUT fan, then New Year's is starting off right. The maker of jewelry for your car has released five new wheels in the Icon line: the MS, 11, M, V, and X join others like the Icon D and the Icon 10. The forged aluminum wheels are available in 2- or 3-piece designs, and have five available finishes: chrome, brushed satin, pinstripe, two-tone and carbon fiber. You can even get deep lip versions. But don't even pick up the phone if you can't go at least 20 inches -- the wheels start there, and end at 26. Oh, and they also start at $6,000. It costs money to STRUT, don'tcha know... Strut through the gallery of high-res images to see for yourself.

Ghet-tastic. I'll stick to some smaller, lighter wheels myself.

x2 17" aluminum over here. Never understood the need for all of that unsprung weight.

Because in the ghetto you gotta show that you've made it in this world by having large, shiny, tacky wheels. What these bad boys need are some 17" spinners.

Don't know - they all look the same as other rims you see on all cars.

Your wheels have to be THAT big if and only if something else is small.

Certainly not under the desk in the fetal position, you need to get out more.

It's not my thing, but the dub look works on some of the larger luxury SUV's. It's pointless, but I get it. That said, I'm not sure if its a blurry photo artifact, but are those fake diamonds inset in all of the screw heads in the first photo Icon-11? Yipes. I guess I'm not surprised. It's now literally jewelry for your car.

I can't wait for the next edition of Unique Whips so we can see that fat midget Will Castro plug these and all of STRUTs products incessantly.

Just the thing for those soccer moms in their Suburbans. Carjacking bait.

The fancy wheel business is taking its last hurrah. There are not enough rich, stupid morons out there to drop 2-Gs on rims when they can't pay the mortgage.

I don't wear jewelry and neither will my cars.

You guys should do an article like this every day...you know, a new product from a dead or dying automotive trend. Tomorrow you could do hydraulics, the next day you could do neon underlighting kits and the next day you could do a tutorial on how to fit 36 TVs in your Suburban.

Those wheels are absolutely hideous.
