Theme Tuesdays: Steelies

Apr 26, 2011

This one’s all teamwork. Nash suggested it on facebook, I started working on it, and Ollie came through huge with the final touches.

Steel wheels work on a variety of vehicles, are cheap, and fairly strong. I hear they are a bit on the heavy side however.

The cheap, light, strong triangle strikes again.

The more typical fare is from my collection, a lot of the more interesting and lesser seen platforms are from Ollie’s collection.

steelies_vw_service — This might be one of the raddest bugs I have ever seen

steelies_street_rodder — One of these too

steelies_street_karnage — Street Karnage reppin for the Volvo lovers

steelies_sc — Scraped Crusaders scrappin through

steelies_darth — I thought monsters only came out at night?

steelies_14 — Some of the biggest steals I've seen, I know some BMW guys may not dig

steelies_9 — Polish makes everything look a little better

steelies_1_fordanglia — Ollie's collection is sure diverse as hell

steelies_6 — The first time I saw banded steels was on a vw

steelies_3 — I think I have some more pics of this, should dig them up as Ollie reminded me

steelies_4 — You should know by now Ollie will always sneak a Mini in

steelies_p60 — Ollie dares anyone to say this is not awesome, I agree.

To be continued….

Thanks again for the help Ollie.

Yeye, Thanks for putting up a pic of the Subie. She’s now on lower pro tires and will be lowered soon.

Speaking of the MR2’s… don’t see them that much anywhere, for that matter. Future MR2 theme tuesday?

thanks for taking the suggestion man, this is exactly why i love this site. there’s no superiority complex or rampant flaming, just good cars and good people.

^ agreed! awesome stuff.

That 105E looks great, is there anything that doesn’t look evil on steelies?

Rob Apr 26, 2011 At 4:18 pm

that bimmer is sick.

DaveT Apr 26, 2011 At 4:19 pm

Thanks Des! No complex here. I like cars, you like cars, let’s talk cars that’s about it lol.

Joe.. if there is I have not seen it. I think the first car I liked on steelies was Herbie when he looked like so: http://img252.imageshack.us/i/herbie11sx0.jpg/

The red Volvo with the windshield visor from Street Karnage is dope. I havn’t seen a radio antenna like that before. Wonder if it only picks up slow jams? License plate reads ” real og” more like “triple og”.

If done correctly, I personally think that steelies are a safe bet on almost any vehicle.

  I think they are banded oems. Not 100% though.
  
Murray May 3, 2011 At 6:33 am

Thanks Dave. Must be why I like them as they look a bit oemish.
