i rocked them for a few months until i got my rims.

 

Nice Two Tone 2Tone

I have a link below to my steelie with the centercap described above. It is not completely finished, but you get the idea.

thanks Ed!
they center cap does make a difference.
wish i had that when i was rocking them. looks good!

 

Damn! This thread has been going since I first got my box. I guess steelies and the box are a popular combo.

 

Here is a pic of mine after I just finished them. They are a little dirty and you cant see much detail. I just got another set a different style and havent painted them yet. I might paint my steels silver and do the centers in black. But i now have two sets to switch out when I get bored with one

Zach, I gotta say that I like your painted steelies better than your rims.

 

That might be cool, but the problem is one of physics. Aluminum weighs only 40% as much as steel by volume, but has maybe 30% of the strength of steel, depending on the temper. So if you compare actual wheel weight, you'll often find that the aluminum wheel is actually heavier than the steel version due to the added material to make it strong enough.

So be very careful when choosing aluminum wheels if your goal is increased performance, but for looks they can't be beat.

 

i'm on steelies.





and i got those trim ring thingies for 'em today.

 

I actually ordered widened steelies with a huge dish. Check out the thread in the xB wheel and tires section for details and pics as soon as I get the wheels.

 

There is always some as$&#(# out there to make sure and cause a ruckus. I rock the steelies just because i want. Honestly even if i wasnt spending all this money taking sciokotic's girl out to dinner id still be rockin the steelies. So why you all shut up about your dubs and your bling and leave us commoners to discuss the art of the steelie.

 

HAHA yeah i roc the stellies to right now with my box (ttim rings also) when clean the car looks mean. Question tho i painted the whells flat black and want them to have more of a wet look what should I do?

 

Paint them a glossier black is what you can do.

 

Picked up trim rings for the xA this weekend....they look great IMO. MUST find some center caps tho....any suggestions! The lowering springs are on order, so would like to have the centers by the time it drops....and hope to get to go to Palmers Mild 2 Wild.....

 

I've always been a fan of the ATS Cup wheels because they remind me of steel wheels. I remember they made a limited edition version that was all silver, no black inserts, and I loved that even more. It is a light wheel, but not as light as a narrow OEM steel wheel.



These either anodized or powder coated all black would be hot! But keep an eye on ctruss' wheels, because I think they are going to be popular.

 

put some tire gloss on those tires, people.

 

I Love the steel wheels, its not so bad on mine cause its black. Kinda blends in. My biggest problem is trying to find some center caps to cover up the nasty axle nut in the front. Ive seen a couple pics floating around but i havent been able to nail down any solid solutions. Any ideas??? PLEASE!!!
