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? :dunno

Don't forget the headlight eyelashes! :drool

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 :lol
Not even if MMM powder coated them purple? :D :D

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?" :P

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?

Actually, I think the correct car is a VW New Beetle Convertible, including eyelashes.

Fine, but I'm charging double and you can't tell anyone I did it.

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.
