Rims can often add a great first or finishing touch to a car. The vehicles doesn't even have to be custom, and a nice set of matte black or gunmetal rims will really set it off. However, some people have gone a little too crazy with the shoes they've selected for their whips. We're talking teddy bear and quarter rims. Yes, there are actually teddy bears and quarters as rims out there. They're disgusting and they're just the tip of the exhaust system, when it comes to the horrible examples we've found. Check out these 25 Ratchet Custom Rims Fails.

Volkswagen Bug

The Volkswagen Beetle is literally the only vehicle these would have worked on. But they still don't work. So, they should be abolished from the the auto planet forever.

Audi TT

Blender blades are not a good look. Especially when they look like you've just made a vanilla protein shake.

Subaru Impreza

Oversized rim spokes are like when you see a dude with diamond studs that cover up his entire ear. Just stop, homie.

Volkswagen Golf

We would have absolutely loved this car ... when we were four years old. Even Teddy Ruxpin would be ashamed to drive this abomination.

Range Rover

The fact that you need sunglasses to even look at this Range is bad enough, but throw blades on them, and you've get a car that looks like Robocop and the Terminator would have built, if they worked at West Coast Customs.

Donk

This looks like something that should have been in the "Money in the Bank" music video.

Dodge Charger

You know how these would be cool? If this were Jackie Chan's ride, and he could pop them off and use them as ninja stars.

Porsche 964

In today's lesson in primary colors, we learn that kindergarten design doesn't work on grown man cars.

Audi TT

As one thread commenter asked, "is that a smashed Hyundai symbol?"

Holden Special Vehicles Maloo

Blades are so horrific, we just wanted to show you again that they will not look good on any vehicle, regardless of how sweet that vehicle is. At least line up the blades for Christ's sake!

Toyota AE86

We know a great aunt that drives one of these, and she certainly would not appreciate the "x marks the spot" pie slice rims devaluing her car.

Beamer, no Benz and a Bentley

These rims look like one of those rings that little girls get out of the quarter machines at the YMCA.

Chevrolet Camaro

Unless the driver is Trinidad James, this car should be taken to the pawn shop immediately. You might be able to get a sweet Super Nintendo in return.

Bentley Continental GT

This custom Bent is lucky it's wearing these shoes to distract us from that weird eagle beak-looking front end. It looks like there's a wrench permanently stuck on the wheel.

Ford Crown Victoria

Any rim that has a matching background just looks like somebody put a sheet of construction paper behind it.

Porsche

These would look abhorrent on any car, but a Porsche? A Porsche!? Ugh.

Bentley Continental Convertible

Yeah, let's take the most expensive part of an already super expensive car and put it on the most exposed area of the car, subjecting it to dirt, brake dust, headbutts from miniature mountain goats, and bird poop. Good thinking.

Audi

When you're finished driving, you can pop off the rims, take your cookies out of the ziplock bag and plate them for a lovely display!

Honda CR-X

These look like a mix between round dice and some weird screws you'd find in a foreign bed set.

Toyota Prius

Just when we thought an edgier Prius existed, we looked down at the feet and saw those wheels that look like they were popped out of the back of a cereal box.

Chevrolet Volt

The blank discs on this Chevy have turned the Volt into some funky lookin' attempt at a spaceship time machine thingamajig.

Chevrolet Caprice

We're all for matching the rims with the paint or wrap. But that's when it's black on black or white on white, not when it's logo on logo.

Ferrari 458 Italia

A Ferrari is not for boys. It's a man car. Why would you put a bunch of Boy Scouts logos around your wheels? This ain't the Pinewood Derby, dude.

Bentley

As if driving a Bentley weren't pretentious enough, you've got to have a floating "B" to make sure everybody does a double take. Please drive your car right into a chop shop, you douche.

Chevrolet Camaro

Not only does a Camaro look ridiculously stupid with rims this large, the effect is accentuated by the completely dull design.
