Re: Cars that look awesome with steelies (steel wheels)

The best set of steelies I had, was from my Chevrolet Beat. The star shaped design along with the appropriately designed hubcaps were really nice.

I also liked the steel wheels of Hyundai Eon base model.

Re: Cars that look awesome with steelies (steel wheels)

Hyundai offers the best steelies by far. I wanted to buy the first model below for my Sonata since they look so good and they're a direct fit - only on inquiry I found out they're steelies with hub caps.

The Creta too comes with steelies that look like alloys. I'm not a fan of the design but it's interesting what they can do.

Well, it reminded me of my Safari Dicor and it's beautiful steel wheels.

Yes, looks cool. But I feel the higher variants in Black alloys look hot as well, specially in lighter shades of car like White/Grey:

Know others have disagreed but I like what you've done with the off white painted steelies. Looks great. I think if you car had a retro colour scheme like a bottle green or so it'd pop out more but it still looks pretty good to me. Far cleaner than those busy alloys it came with.

Re: Cars that look awesome with steelies (steel wheels)

My pre-worshipped Figo that I owned between 2017-2019 had black steel wheels with a silver wheel cover. I discarded the covers and absolutely loved the look with the steelies.

Our Thar steelies were painted Black as a DIY project by the kids in the family. Here it is, parked at our ancestral home

Re: Cars that look awesome with steelies (steel wheels)

My M800 5 Speed with white painted 13 inch steelies. Looks so cool against the ruby red colour but a real pain to keep clean in kerala monsoons.

The Cargo version on steelies look insanely cool. But I don't understand for whom a defender cargo makes sense.

Spotted this one last year. Looked so good with white steelies.

Re: Cars that look awesome with steelies (steel wheels)

I guess we are so used to seeing cars with either alloy wheels or ugly plastic wheelcaps that most steelies look great now.

My old A-star:

In full agreement. If you notice, most steelies with those circular "vents" look good - be it the base versions of Ignis, XUV700, Roxx. I'd opine that openings of approx 1" dia look better than smaller ones.One addition to the list is the good ol' Opel Astra. Image sourced from the forum itself.
