We’re now 6 installments in to this series and I feel like the response has been pretty positive. Thanks to everyone who has participated and provided feedback. I’ll plan to continue doing one once a week as long as my schedule allows, but I wanted a little feedback from you folks.
First, I need a little advice on grouping cars into categories. My greatest concern is that I’ll pick a category like small crossovers and miss one or two because the segment is so large. What resource would you suggest for making sure I get every vehicle in a certain class? Edmunds? Autotrader? Others?
Second, I’d like Oppo’s opinion on a few ideas for down the road.
A tournament of champions . I’m thinking maybe after the 10th edition I’ll do a special edition that pits the first 10 winners against one another. Good idea?
Intra-manufacturer Battles. Instead of a competition between members of a certain class, it would be between every vehicle in a given manufacturer’s lineup.
Thanks again to everyone who has participated so far. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series as much as I have.

Maybe Euro-spec manufactures and their respective categories.

I know very little about that market, so I’d probably have to partner with someone, but it is something I’ve thought about.

I could probably help you as a U.K. resident. Just let me know somehow and I can send you pictures and info on each option + categories and etc.

I suggest also looking into vehicle specific forums. Those people know every detail about their vehicles.
I would like to suggest the GTO’s 18s and the 14-15 SS’s forged polished powder coated 19s. (Not the God awful new 16 SS cast rims.) I will admit the 5th Gen Camaro 10-12 five spoke 19s and 20s look great on everything.

I like both your tournament and intra-manufacturer ideas, that sounds fun! I think you should definitely keep it to the most boring and pedestrian looking wheels though. It makes it more entertaining in my opinion. Trying to pick which minivan looked the best was painful but fun.

I like this series, and I think your ideas sound good. A few more suggestions, if you will. Luxury Sedans (I guess you could do multiple by prices), econoboxes, supercars (I guess you'd need a price threshold here too). Or how about a "retro" one, with say mid sized sedans from (random year here) 1988, for instance. That would probably be a battle of the hubcaps.

How about a hubcaps-only contest?

You should do something super cheap or super expensive. Like subcompact cars or Bentley-level stuff.
