    Nice looking steelies

    Kinda weird question here......

    I just took off my hubcaps for the first time, and i realize that I have 3 black steels and one silver. And 2 of the blacks don't even match. Does anyone know of cars that come stock with nice steelies (if there even is such a thing)? I would get rims, but i have drums in the back and I hate it when people do that. I actually have a little list of cars with the same bolt pattern (4x100).


    ACURA INTEGRA, TYPE "R" 1986-ON
    BMW 318, 325, 320I, 323I 1977-1991
    CHEVY PRIZM 1997-ON
    DODGE COLT, NEON 1993-ON
    EAGLE SUMMIT 1993-ON
    FORD ASPIRE, ESCORT 1991-ON
    HONDA CRX, DEL SOL, CIVIC, PRELUDE, 1980-ON
    KIA SEPHIA 1994-ON
    MAZDA MIATA, MX3, GS, PROTEGE(woot), 323 1990-ON
    MERCURY TRACER 1991-ON
    MITSUBISHI MIRAGE 1993-ON
    NISSAN NX1600, NX2000, SENTRA-ALL, PULSAR, 200SX 1986-ON
    SATURN SC-COUPE-ALL, SW-WAGON-ALL, SL-4DR-ALL 1991-ON
    SUBARU JUSTY 1990-1994
    TOYOTA COROLLA, TERCEL, PASAEO, FX16, MR2, CELICA, ECHO 1986-ON
    VOLKSWAGEN GOLF I & II, JETTA I & II, PASSAT, CABRIOLET, RABBIT, FOX-ALL, RABBIT CONV., CORRADO G60, SCIRROCCO 1976-ON
    (I threw this together from another source, so I'm not 100% sure if this is all correct, and im sure its not complete either)

    There is this auto recycler near my house (Carcone's) that specializes in refinishing wheels, so they take the wheels from all their cars, refinish them, and put them in their inventory. Prices are really good too, so I can get wheels from pretty much any car.

    Anyways, if anybody happens to know any of these cars that have descent looking steelies, or any other car that has steelies you know will fit the pro, gimmie a shout.

    Thanks!

    steelies are steelies. They all look the same
    I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

      but they don't. the slots, holes, whatever have differences. I have 3 different steelie patterns. you don't notice it unless you stare though. hubcaps cover that. basically, you're just going to have to go look, and find 4 that are the same if it matters that much to you.

      but its a steelie. why spend money on it at all? mine are all slowly rusting, and I plan to run them into the ground, and toss them. egt, lx, zx2 rims are all viable options and cheap for me.
      No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

        just get 4 that match and paint them black. Why not get some 15"wheels?

          90-91 Pro SE/DX and 323 had silver with trim rings and center caps. I always liked that better than black steelies with wheel covers.

            yaya, thats actually one of the ones i had in mind when i was looking. alright, another question... even tho i don't think i have seen any that look good, has anyone else ever seen rims with drums that look good? and im not doing a disk conversion....

                wait, so you don't want to get better rims, just because you have drum brakes? who cares if you don't have rear disks. The car is as it is. Compared to increasing your performance with lighter rims and better tires, barely seeing some drum brakes shouldn't matter. besides, the rear discs on these cars are tiny anyway, nearly the same diameter as the drums.

                just clean up the drums, and paint them black, as innocuous as possible. Then get rims to fit the tires you want to run. I'd say some 15x7 or x6.5, with 205/50-15's. or maybe 195/55-15's, if you don't want to go that big.

                I'm actually thinking to get the 195/55's to help get better mileage (less rolling resistance than 205's) yet still be adequate in the handling department, for daily driving.
