☁️ Michelin once went full-mad-scientist and had German wheel maker Kronprinz build alloy rims shaped exactly like the Michelin Man.
Produced in the late 1990s, these 14×6 wheels were a tiny promotional run tied to Michelin’s ownership stake in Kronprinz, making them one of the rarest and strangest OEM-backed wheels ever made.
Collectors say they’re hard to balance, restrict brake cooling, and often lose center caps, but their bizarre 3D Bibendum design turned them into cult-level automotive artifacts.
Very few sets still exist, with some claiming fewer than twenty worldwide, which only adds to their myth status.
Would you ever run a full set of Michelin-Man wheels on your own build just for the chaos factor?
