Anybody here Rockin' Steelies?

[93formulalt1]

Hey guys, I'm looking for some pictures of a 4th Gen Firebird with black steel wheels. . . Stock style steelies, aftermarket, it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to figure out if this is going to compliment the look I'm going for with my car. . .

Any color car is fine, although I would really like to see steelies on a red or black car. Firebirds only, please, I already know what a 'maro on steelies looks like.

I am currently rockin steelies on the Camaro with a set of blizzaks on them. You are thinking about changing to steelies for looks? Can't say that I have ever heard that one before, lol.

Can't say that I have either, but to each their own.

I think he is looking to sell off the wagon wheels and try something new. He is really getting into this whole "murdered out" craze... which coincidentally I can not blame him.

I'm considering it. I didn't want anyone to know anything until after it was done, but since Ben spilled the beans, yes, I'm considering a flat black paint job. I don't like the term "Murdered-Out," I think it sounds stupid and I think I'll have to punch the first person to call my car "murdered out" square in the jaw.


Not to mention, my paint is in rough shape (to say the least), some body work needs to be done, and I'm tired of seeing all these nice cars at car shows, year after year, only getting nicer, and my car seems to be in a downward spiral. The flat black I would be using is a John Deere tractor enamel. It's tough as nails, can be wetsanded without making it glossy, and it's quite cheap, too. I'm still thinking about just doing a simple red/black theme, but flat black is really starting to grow on me.

I'm just looking for some pics of Firebirds on Steelies, because I haven't seen it done before. If I go that route, I won't be using the stock steelies, they will be something along the lines of Crager Soft 8's or Crager D-Windows, probably in 15" or 16" size. The Vette wheels are all well and good, but the ones I have aren't in very good shape, and they are really heavy. I want something a little lighter weight, cheaper to buy tires for, and something that won't break the bank.
