Every car looks better on steelies

[Billy_Whizzzz]

Just like estates are ALWAYS the best of the breed, pretty sure that ALL cars look better on steelies. Including - below - Defenders where alloys are always rubbish. Just wish there were more that fitted over larger brakes on modern cars. A few examples of cars where the steel option is always better:

No, and no. Two comments, both wrong. HTH.

Theres a Z3 on steel wheels local to me which I think looks kind of cool.

Best I could find online:

Now try it again with cars made in the last twenty or so years...

Always fancied a set of steelys on my mini.

Mine will be coming off next week and the summers going back on.

And probably lighter than most alloys.

Have you run on space savers all winter?

The Defender, yes, the Mini and the VW just look like you've bought the base version and the 1 series looks like you've bought the base version AND lost your wheel trims!

I have nothing against steelies by the way, the cars in the OP look superb.

Not true I'm afraid.

That's my M140i and the x1 winter steelies I have for it. I do have some proper BMW 17" wheel trims but I think it looks better with the plain steel wheels, I think if they were silver it would look a bit better but certainly not as nice as it does on alloys.

7.5 x 17 square set up. They were new on and genuine winter steels, but they don’t have the best coating on them from new. Dropping them off when I swap them over and having a fresh coat of silver powder on them.

This would look better on wires and two ear spinners. Otherwise, I agree.

I don't want to be that guy, but steel is an alloy.

[NAAHD]

At least you don’t need to worry about kerbs

My car, run steels all year round. Nothing custom/special either, just steels for a Vauxhall Tigra Twin Top. £35 each a few years ago.

Still all look like they lost wheel trims, terrible
