Edit: Steelies Can Actually Look Good!

[Drew]

No doubt that steelies can look good with the proper tire on it. Throw some KO2s and those steelies will look solid!

I agree. I’ll do that on my next one. I’m selling this one.

I would mask off and paint the 3 hole sets in black (Just the area between them) times 5. Then you will have the look similar to the Chevy Rally wheels. pinstripe contrasting color around if you'd Like. See crude job below for the general idea.

Interesting…

Here's another way to paint the wheels to make them not look like steelies from a distance. These look more like 70's turbine wheels. (again sorry for the crude rendering)

Wow, I would’ve never thought of that.

Wow, I would’ve never thought of that.

Thinking outside of the box!

I would make so many errors trying to do that.
My compliments to the ones able to pull that off!

Just need the correct width Making tape. I would leave the edge silver though.

they look nice but are a $1000 for a set…

while I like the grenadine wheel my worry would be that it would look small because of the black lip.

but maybe im wronk

I like that wheel. Uncluttered.

The standard 17-inch steel wheels are so anti-style that they circle back to be stylish.

I saw this write up somewhere & saved it to my quotes page. Purchsed a set of Bronco wheels last weekend, no hurry to install them..

Steel wheels only way to go. Chunck into a pot hole with alluminum and there goes the rim. Steel just hammer it back and inflate. I'd go with chrome moon caps but no tabs to lock them on.

Did you remove the center caps to put the wheel covers on?

I bought these Escape wheels with with 245/70R17... I like 'em, but the offset as it is will not work

What is the issue with the offset? Rubbing or brake caliper clearance?

 

[MavJeff]

These wheels are 7.5 instead of 7...and I forget the offset, but the net is 21mm! If I shim that much, won't be enough thread for the lug, imho.

I slapped these on in the interrum...
