tru...everybody's rockin' tha steelies! i've seen a lot of honda heads rockin the new civic 15's with good tires...guess cause the rims are light? personally i wouldn't rock em', but they don't look that horrible either. just my 2cents.

go to a junk yard, you really only need a couple of the ones with the plastic ring... so even the dealer would be a good source

steelies light? not so much... I just think they have durability, stealth, and lack of appeal to thieves. And the new 15s are a blessing but not if you have big brakes...

where the **** have you been? people who cant afford rims rock steelies. the first mod to any civic is to take off the hubcaps and cut the springs. you know whats really cool? get two rims for the back and steelies in the front so everyone knows your a MadD VtEK StREEt RaCeR yO!

Yeah what they do, is two of them go half and half on some wheels and then they split me up, lol I would rather see a full set of steelies, then the Rims in back action

you realize hubcaps are steelies with a plastic thing over them so that your "wheels" don't look like total *** which HT just loves
