I forgot how much I love steelies

Mmmm, Bassett D-Holes on Popular Hot Rodding's Project Talladega 1975 Chevy Laguna S-3

To get the real effect, they need to Sawzall the wheel arches.

If Jeep ever comes through with the Wrangler pickup, I will have one (hopefully).

I'm totally going with steelies and Jeep baby moons.

Something like this:

Volvo made some nice 17" steelies that look pretty good on a brick. I'd rock them if Detroit's roads weren't worse than Beirut.

If be better off with something like this.

I couldn't agree more:

I really like PY0s and H2 wheels on 8-lug GM trucks, but these steel wheels just look right.

I don't understand this thread. I don't like the looks of any of the wheel/car combinations in this thread and I'm not someone who cares a lot about wheel appearance.

Need more snow in Ohio!

BTW: these steel rims are as heavy as they are cheap ($60 each)!

That was usually only done on short-track cars. Long track cars tended to keep the stock wheel wells for the better aero benefits.

15x8 truck rallies FTW...

That Audi looks like E36 M3.

FTFY

I may end up with an extra set of 15" tire rack stealies for my civic. I'm debating between touring tires or smallish, but larger than stock truck tires.

You guys are right, but doing it ALL wrong! They have to be styled steelies!!!

Watch out for potholes. The wife and I bent 5 of them over our first winter before giving up and getting heavy allows.

For me it depends on the car, but in general, steelies ROCK.

I prefer mis-matched steelies....
