Just curious if anyone has stretched steelies on their car. Im thinking about gettin a set for my prelude

 

What the hell is a stretched steelie?

I'm looking for some 15" black steelies right now - if no one has any, i'm just going to buy them new.

 

stretched steelies are when they cut the middle out and weld in a spacer to make them bigger...

 

i have one question.....why?? they cant be that light....

this is HAVE to see..

 

OOh OOh! Me Too! Me too!!!

I'm going to find a picture..............

 

steelies= pimpin them in winter time only( i need to get some Si wheels or some other oem honda aluminum wheel for winter)


But 100times better than the hubcaps

 

these are widened steelies, not a honda but i think they are sweet

 

wide steelies are sick, i used to drive a golf gti and wanted a set on it and could NEVER find any, now I came across 2 sets and was thinking about throwing them on the prelude

Well, if you have some 15's. Let me know when you want to get rid of them. I'll take them. seriously.

 

I think they are 14's cuz the alloys are 15's right? I'll make sure and check tommorow. I just need to find some locally and ill hook you up with these kingpin.

I'd really appreciate that.

 

it's all pretty pointless. think about it: let's make a steel wheel bigger and heavier and use it for racing.

I'm not the one to advocate knock-offs, but just buy some ******* 15" Rotas and call it a day. You can even get them in black...

 

well, maybe, just maybe they aren't going to race with them.. MAYBE, it's just for looks... just maybe though.. don't quote me on that

 

says who? it's not a damn bentley or anything.

 

the look of the steelies I can respect. the practicality of steelies I can respect.

but the point of stretching steelies? lost on me, I'm afraid.

degustibus non est disputandum

 

How do you change the diameter of the rim without changing the circumference?

When you say cut the middle out you get an "O" shape and you can't make it any taller without changing it's circumference. I dont think this would work, unless you're talking about cutting off the outside edge of a steelie and welding the edge of a larger wheel onto that... but why go through all that hassle? just put the bigger ones on.

But if I'm wrong, I'd like to see this done.

 

change in diameter without change in circumference? blasphemer!

it's more like: change the width of the wheel (stretch wider) without changing the diameter...deep dish look.

that ****'s great for VW's but not on any honda

i rock steelies during the winter time..

 

I want some so bad...................
If you keep them clean looking - they don't look bad whatsoever. I think i'll always rock steelies.

 

jeez someone get a mop for theKINGPin

Usually when i think of steelies they're on a pos dilapidated car but that picture makes look good as long as they're clean. I think I might get myself some clean black steelies now.

 

if you like em like that just imagine them with a nice deep lip on them.....they are hot

 

IMO they look bad on a prelude

as in not good

 

damn, wide steelies look badass on that VW

 

steelies are cheap. sorry, i agree with
de gustibus non est disputandum

.....but only to a point

(although I think there should be a space in there)
thank you 3 years of latin!
