I have a link below to my steelie with the centercap described above. It is not completely finished, but you get the idea.

Here is a pic of mine after I just finished them. They are a little dirty and you cant see much detail. I just got another set a different style and havent painted them yet. I might paint my steels silver and do the centers in black. But i now have two sets to switch out when I get bored with one

That would be my first preference. But I haven't seen it yet.

So be very careful when choosing aluminum wheels if your goal is increased performance, but for looks they can't be beat.

There is always some as$&#(# out there to make sure and cause a ruckus. I rock the steelies just because i want. Honestly even if i wasnt spending all this money taking sciokotic's girl out to dinner id still be rockin the steelies. So why you all shut up about your dubs and your bling and leave us commoners to discuss the art of the steelie.

I've always been a fan of the ATS Cup wheels because they remind me of steel wheels. I remember they made a limited edition version that was all silver, no black inserts, and I loved that even more. It is a light wheel, but not as light as a narrow OEM steel wheel.
These either anodized or powder coated all black would be hot! But keep an eye on ctruss' wheels, because I think they are going to be popular.

I Love the steel wheels, its not so bad on mine cause its black. Kinda blends in. My biggest problem is trying to find some center caps to cover up the nasty axle nut in the front. Ive seen a couple pics floating around but i havent been able to nail down any solid solutions. Any ideas??? PLEASE!!!
