I had green painted steelies and they looked really gay. I would spray them w/ Rustoleum black enamel for a shiny black look. I have yet to see steelies in any color other than black that look good.

Don't waste your time with steelies, they never look good. Save your money and your time and get rims.

not much you can do to steelies tho. best thing IMO you can do for any 14inch steelies is get some 99-00 hubcaps for them. i would have them on my civic BUT my fronts are 13s and rears are 14s right now and of course the 14inch hubcaps wont fit the 13s or else id have my hubcaps on them. eventually ill get some good tires on the other 14inch steelies i have and ill put on the 99-00hubcaps.

As long as it has 4x100 lug holes, or if they are snap-ons with the wire ring

If you want nice looking snap on hub caps, I like walmarts inventory. they are much better look and quality than advanced autoparts or autozone, and run 14-25 dollars
