At first I was like “oh, those look kinda cool” then I realized and snorted.

I think they would look alreich on certain cars, though.

I kinda like it. The design creates an optical illusion that the lugs aren’t actually in a square.

If you’re saying it looks like a swastica I don’t think it really does.

I had one for a rental a couple of weeks ago, my brother noticed  the same thing. Can't believe they didn't catch that one.

At first I saw the “vase” but then I stared a little longer and saw the “two people kissing.”

Morons. Stylistically, though, this is no worse than most of what Honda and VW are doing these days.

Pretty bad. But not a spot on resemblance as the Opel one.

The way it’s a similar shape, but it’s not the same no Reich angles

Because caring a slight resemblance to a symbol of an effectively dead organization isn’t a problem.

If you can't see how a german company deploying a product containing nazi-esque imagery is problematic, that's not my issue

There’s an overall similarity in the shape, but in my opi nion, it gets a pass . It looks like fan blades, and as someone else mentioned, the wheel creates an illusion that the nuts are not square.

Those actually look like a sauwastika rather than the Opel swastika. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauwastika
