well, after some debating, i've been forced to drive my car this winter against my will. i didn't plan on driving this winter, so now i have to winterize my car. get it sprayed and buy winters.

i just put on my black steelies for the first time. it looks hardcore...i was surprised....i was going to put the hub caps on, but i'm glad i didn't.

now i understand why people are interested in buying black rims.

anybody else like the black steelie look????

Buff 'n Stuff

I like it, but not on all cars.

sjwong

(OMG i'm joking...it's SICK)

sam

Well.. civics originally do come with black steelies. heh.

I saw a BMW Z3 on Friday night downtown with steelies.. that car looked phucking gay. The steelies were for winter I bet but that car looked GAY!!! Steelies are ok on like cars like ours.. but if you drive a performance car.. steelies don't match.

Can you imagine seeing a Ferrari or McLaren with steelies? If I ever saw one.. I'd fall over laughing.

yup, black steelies on a black car =

cant wait to put mine on!

So LAME!

This dude should put his Z3 away and drive a beater,

He probably could have gotten a beater for what he paid for snows.

yup, i ride on steelies every winter (even tho i drive my car like 10 times the whole winter) but ya it looks better than with hubcaps, unless u paint them gunmetal which is what i did and it looks pretty sick heh, however my gunmetal rims r coming in the spring

NoSpleeny

hehe! I'm glad we agree on this one.

Z3 with steelies. hahahahhahahahaha <falls over laughing>
Pretty funny when I think about it again and after Jook said that he can get a beater at the same price. hehe

BTW.. why would you wanna rust your Z3?

THE BLACK STEELIES LOOK WICKED BUT AS SOMEONE SAID NOT ON ALL CARS

Can't say that i'm down with steelizes. They don't look bad, but i like the look of a lowered car on their stock tires..for the winter only...when summer hits it's time for real rims and rubber!!

My 2 cents

cibs

I personally like the look of steelies in the winter way more than factory tires, cuz usually factory tires are ugly hubcaps that every ricer has.... that's my biggest deal with not putting hubcaps on.... also it kinda shows that you have something nice for the winter and you're not being stupid by riding normal rims even if they are factory in the winter...

James saw your car the other day, looks good with the steelies, Bo and I have dropped the steelies on too. what a different ride , but still looks good

Steelies with winters are a badge of honour. Shows you got some classy rims for Spring, Summer and Fall.

imported_loudsubz

I ride with hub caps does that make me any less of a man

NoSpleeny

Or it could be a Badge of Honour. Shows you got NO RIMS but another set of steelies for the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

'I ride with hub caps does that make me any less of a man'

You said it, Sedan boy

imported_daquel

Yes, only if they are on a stock looking car! No aftermarket body kits! "Thank God"

Cars with kits do not look right with steelies! If you can't afford rims and like the "stock look" stick with the steelies. Looks pretty good!

Props to HappyB16 's car!
