Those wheels have some class. At least they aren't black. Hope you don't think it should have period rallye wheels..
OP needs to define alpha male. Any time you have 2 males together one is going to be the alpha.

The other wheels just look too big.

When I turned 18, I spent my life savings on a (nice, but used) Pontiac Trans Am, screamin' chicken on the hood, yada yada yada...
I tried to keep it NICE...
But nice cars seem to attract idiots who can't respect others property.
And the insurance was ridiculous.
I gave up on ever being able to own something nice.
My 4-wheeled "cages" are just for utilitarian use only.
My 1988 Softail is also not to impress or entertain anyone - but me.

Hahahahahaaaaa, I love convertible sports cars. 30 years faithfully married (to an awesome woman) . Nothing metro about me either. I simply enjoy the performance of a turbocharged 400++ HP, RWD, lightweight and responsive car.
Sure, a new 'Vette Z06is faster, don't care. The turbocharged S2000 is a lot more fun, especially when driving like an enthusiast, or on track days.
Which brings me to well built Japanese tuner cars. There is something interesting about men who spend time, intelligence and money making a serious performance vehicle out of an appliance. Seems like these guys are quite focused, and therefore rather Alpha.
Mine:
Haha I was just being a little facetious,kind've kidding around
I love topless!! Cars,women
I forgot you had that beautiful S2000! That engine looks insane!
I almost bought a Mitsubishi Spyder years ago,but they were a little out of my price range.

you got that right...

Prob not really the place for that definition, and I'm certainly not the guy to define it. I was kind of thinking this silly discussion is about the real, high end Alpha's (socially) , not the low ones. A real "manly" car, if you will.
This is about the cars the top Alpha males prefer to operate.
In my observation, the big Mercedes sedan seems to be favored by extremely successful men. Same goes for the Aston Martin and high end Jaguar. These are the cars I see when I walk out on the ramp, here at Jet Aviation PBI.
I'll go walk out there and observe....
One thing I've noticed, impractical cars are not popular around here. These high end men rarely show up in cars like that gorgeous Corvette pictured above.

Some people can afford vehicles cars to impress even though owner doesn’t really like the vehicle.
Like a yellow Lamborghini or Ferrari just for the looks.

If it was me and I had the $$$, I'd buy a Lexus LX470/570 or a Ford/Tata-era Range Rover. The former would be a lot more reliable/durable though.

Old cop car, crown victoria with 4.6 v8. Man’s man car! U can hit stuff and not care.
Ultimate Alpha male car is the vehicle you want to drive and of which you couldn't give a wooden hoot who approves of it. Anything else is beta af

Within weeks, newer used BMWs began appearing in the parking lot driven by guys without a single clue as to what they had bought and what it might need.
Me, I'd just wanted a four cylinder stick ragtop that seemed to offer decent reliability, with the Miata seeming two common and too small.
After I bought the '12 Accord, Accords became all the rage at work.
It isn't what you drive, it's how you're perceived by your peers.
You should dig up a Yugo, start taking it to work, and then watch your coworkers scramble.
;^)
I was going to say something really nuts like a '29 Cord, but there are probably more of those still running than Yugos.

Hummer or Viper
The 2008-2016 Nissan GT-R was probably the most alpha male car Nissan ever built. The 2017 facelift made the car less hardcore. In addition, I see the earlier models as having a more subtle appearance. It wouldn't surprise me if they were only recognized by certain car enthusiasts and gamers.
Still seems pretty hardcore to me.
