Cool things to do with crappy steel rims...

Post by LocDog »

Alright so i just got some 16" Blizzaks from tirerack and they're mounted on steel rims..Im hoping its not gonna look too cheezy since i have a monotone abyss, i didnt bother getting hub caps for em since theyre probably gonna fall off...Im trying to figure out what i can do to them, its gonna look sos plain...Ive seen something on a van what was like half the diameter of a full cap and only went around the bolts.Any Suggestions???

I'm lost. What do you want to do to your wheels?

Put aluminum-foil over them to make em look BLING-BLING. Heck...why pay more for chrome? No, wait. Get some chrome paint and go to town on them. Sharp!

Go to mooneyes.com and check out some wheel discs. Sort of retro.

Cool thing to do with crap wheels? Replace them with lite weight sporting looking wheels.

Guess all I can really think of is hub-caps. I really dont think the steel rims look all that bad since its winter anyhow.
