Not quite the same thing but a "poverty spec" 911 attracted a lot of admiration on a Top Gear post on Facebook a few months back. That had steel wheels and half hub caps on with traditional matte black plastic bumpers that used to denote the bottom level models.



It was among a few similarly rendered cars that had that sort of styling and they got positive comments. The latest Defender has a steel wheel option that seems popular, too. Maybe there's some style choice in what you're proposing.

Possibly not quite in the spirit of the thread! laugh

It's back on the alloys again now after a brief interlude on steelies.

Reminds me of what the likes of Toyota do when the sell stripped out versions of their sports cars for the modding companies to use.

I wish that manufacturers would let people buy basic models with decent engines.

I like that you can order an absolute base pick up with a V8 from the likes of Dodge and Chevy.
