Detroit Steel Wheels have become staples in the aftermarket automotive industry. The cause for this is two-fold. First, the guys at Mobsteel have a relentless work ethic, promoting and manufacturing them tirelessly. And second, large steel wheels just look great on a wide variety of vehicles.
Trucks, Hot Rods, Cars, Rat Rods, European cars you name it. 18″ and bigger steel wheels are in.
The Smoothie
The ‘Smoothie’ remains the most commonly seen Mobsteel wheel. With no holes on its face it looks the simplest but has the widest appeal.
This Bel Air is the first car I remember seeing on Detroit Steel WheelsCruise height wasn’t much higher than park heightI believe this original paint car is known as the Detroit King or something along those lines, it’s sitting on smoothie wheels with bullet capsMatching the portholes to the wheel centers is perfect hereWith oem style caps used the look of the smoothie wheel is further transformed, blending old and newBullet Caps and Mobsteels look great under John’s Mercury M1@unminitrucker a few years ago at Vanfest, love the retro paint on this truckThe Taylor’d Custom “Dirty D” Dodge sits on 20″ black Detroit Steel wheelsThese wheels have the push through bullets installed

Artillery Wheels
The Artillery wheels came out in 2016 or so and, if I were to run Mobsteels, these would probably be the wheels I would run.
It’s hard to see but @pearntom Willys is indeed on Mob Steel Artillery WheelsAgain a little hard to see, but artilery wheels are tucked up under this Advanced Design truck
Delrays And Beyond
Late 2017/early 2018 Detroit Steel Wheel released revealed two new wheels at SEMA, the Del Ray, which has square slots repeating over the face of the wheel, and a second wheel that has four slots in the face.
The Del Ray on a Stoner’s Speedshop AD build, AD’s and Mobsteels go hand in hand I guessThe ‘Slameo’ tuckin’ the newest wheel from Mobsteel in 2017A better look via the Mobsteel InstagramAnd finally the new wheel with a vintage looking cap, great touch
Got a wheel I should do a Theme Tuesday on? Let me know in the comments below, and if your car matches this week’s theme tag me on Instagram (stanceiseverythingcom) or post up below.
And, no, don’t take this post as an indication I am stepping away from 15″ steels or Astros for Project Why Wait 🙂
