Those belong on a Saturn. A purple one. One owned by a 16 yo girl, and that has a giant decal of a Unicorn in the back window, and a bunch of feathery suncatchers hanging from the rear view mirror. Could even be a law. Who knows?
Don't forget the headlight eyelashes!

Woodie... if you can believe it, I've seen those before, although not in person - ran across them while internet-shopping random wheels. And as for actually using them... ... ...not even if someone bought them FOR me 
Not even if MMM powder coated them purple?  Important to note here that just because the hub bolt pattern fits, does not mean that the fender geometry will accommodate the rubber wrapped around them.
Um,... I got standards... No, just... no. Mm hmm, standards to be met, like "Who's paying for this?" and "Do you want it clear-coated?"

I wouldn't use a wheel I thought was just "the cutest thing in the world!!" if I knew it would have fitment issues,
Not even these?

a bit late to add, but I used to have those Elantra wheels on my Accent. They were nice and light, unlike the 15s from a Tiburon that I later put on it. Those weighed a ton. I'll never willingly put heavy wheels on a car again...but yeah, the elantra wheels looked good.
See....I ain't lying. This was about 10 years ago, mind you...car long gone.

Actually, I think the correct car is a VW New Beetle Convertible, including eyelashes. I saw an older gent with a first gen Miata sporting a set of those, didnt feel like being a jerk so I just walked past him!
