Bare Steelies

[caveatipse]

What do you all think my black Yaris with tinted windows would look like if I took the wheel covers off and went with just plain black steel wheels?

Prolly better than cheap hubcaps. :p

Like a junker!

The bare steelies can be pulled off if you have a 2" drop but get an exhaust tip because you're drawing attention to the lower part of your car and a nice chrome tip will go with those chrome lug nuts. :iono:

It can be pulled off,snd lookd good on a black car,and way better dropped,and absolutly better then cheap plastic hubcaps,just think about in terms of saving weight,take them off.

[la panique]

The wheel covers that come with the car are not really 'cheap plastic hubcaps.'
I'd say leave them and try to find some wheels or something....steelies are okay i've you are rolling in a '95 Civic or something, but not really a newer car.

They don't cost much = cheap
They are plastic = plastic
They are hubcaps = hubcaps

Where am I wrong? :p
And I didn't even say plastic. :)

I can think of nothing worse than a slammed black Yaris with black steelies.

Wait... tint the windows real dark. There you go! Now, you've got a nice new car that really looks like shit!

[staticorex]

Ha. I still say better then hubs. :p

With all due respect... I rest my case.

Honestly, it looks like you bought the cheapest economy car, and it didn't even come with hubcaps. Particularly to the public (90%) who know nothing about cars. Better mediocre looks than downright "salvaged" looking. IMHO :biggrin:

To me id rather rock Steelies then Hubs any day, When I lower the Yaris she will be on Steelies for a while till I figure out what wheels I wanna put on. To me your car is YOUR style not the guy next to you. If you want to paint your wheels pink then by all means go do it. With that said of course a lowered car will look better with actual wheels rather then Steelies or Hubcaps. The only idea I can think of that wouldn't look so "cheap" Would be to maybe keep the hubcaps on but paint them black? But then again that may look cheap to some people too.\

steelies are okay i've you are rolling in a '95 Civic or something, but not really a newer car.

Hey! Watch what you say about the all mighty 5th gen Civic! lol, You know whats worse then that? a Civic on stock suspension and 19's!! Holy 4x4!!

[Black Yaris]

black steelies look like butt.... atleast go get some aluminum stockers of an old rolla, 2 or even a civic paint them bitches black and there ya go... or you can find som knock off, of a knock off hella cheep like I did and paint them black :biggrin:

I took my plastic wheel covers off right away. They get scraped very easily and if I had not removed them they'd have looked like dog doo doo in no time! I'm saving them for when I trade the car.

Even though I liked the look of the steelies better, I never planned on it being a long-term thing, got new wheels within a couple months.

But it's your car, cavetipse, fix it the way you like it. :thumbup:

I personally run hub caps because I think bare steelies look unfinished and junky. Just my "dos pesos."

[thatboyjer]

rawr, rocked the steelies till i got rims, got the back two put on yesterday, going to put in the front two tommorow morning when i go out to buy some spacers, the rim rubs on the caliper...yikes.

so you wanna talk about unfinished imagine two rear rims and two front steelies...
