Steelies

Post by Kombi140 »

So I’ve put my standard 16” steelies on while I have my alloys refurbed and I’m quite liking the look , is anyone running Amarok 18” or any banded steels??Image

There are some posts on site of members having the steelies stretched with bits in the middle for wider tyres or having different centres put in, they certainly look different to the normal alloys.

Every steel one ive had has corroded badly regardless of paint so it may be worth having them powder coated in clear or something.

Just think it’s a really clean look and they are only 16” rims , seen a few of the t6 guys going for a more commercial look .

If I was going to go lower with the van then I would have chosen some banded steelies. Unfortunately I'm lowering the van anymore plus I'm on bit of a money saving drive :( . I did see these a few weeks ago https://stitchesandsteel.com/collection ... eel-wheels

Is that a price for four wheels? Think I would go silver rather than black though

Looks like it is the price for wheels and tyres. I’m sure you could get just the steeliness on their own.

Those steelies look great mate. Always felt a sense of relief when I swapped my alloys for the winter steels with the state of these roads
