Caterham 160, steelies as standard

I love the way these look and I would love to try one some time, but for me forced induction in a 7 is a big no-no.

Would love to have a 1600 x-flow with the skinny wings, wheels and tyres though.

Hi,
Just wondering if this is for sale?

Thanks

I'm afraid not - can't see I will ever sell up!

I bought it through a member on this forum, I kept an eye on it for about 12 months for the right one to come up:

Might be improved with minilites, although original steels are just fine

[Jimmy Recard]

I'm still pleased with the effect on mine, although I like the original alloys too.

One for the dirty thread!

[ajprice]

Partly posting because steel wheels, partly because what is it? http://www.autoblog.com/2017/01/26/volvo-xc90-pope...

XC90 with steels, and a stretched wheelbase and a load of metal fixed to the roof?!?

Article suggestions are weight testing for a commercial version, or a Popemobile.

My Favourite Steelies.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS. Alloy center, steel rim (or vice versa) I believe?

The (also partly steel) 550 wheels are also rather tasty imho.



Come on folks, more steelies please.

Hemi 'Cuda front wheels and 9" rears if I remember right (way to small to handle the torque!)

A few of my favourites.......... snapped the Porsche at the local dealers a few years back

[williamp]

I think the Porsche 550 is steel/alloy and the lightweight E typre is Magnesium alloy, like te D type. From the days when wherls werent styled as such??

Speaking of steel wheels, mine aren't looking that great these days...

Can anyone recommend a powder coater in the East Midlands? Someone who can deal with a fair amount of rust...

Cheers!

Wasn't aware these are steelies, suit the Barchetta really nicely!

[Pica-Pica]

Late to this thread, but yes, I love steelies. As well as pictures, does anyone recommend any makers/websites.

The painted steelies and chrome hubcap look seems so right on muscle cars. Here’s another...

[Nerdherder]

Here's some more steelie pron from other threads on PH and other places around the internet.

It looks like this now and having them all silver annoys MG beards.

I have an MG and a beard before anyone accuses me of anything...
