I love projects like this, because there is so much flexibility and room for awesomeness, all while not spending a whole lot of money.

I've seen a few people put a nice spin on steelies. Those with a red or blue lip would look good depending on what colour your car is. Perhaps even a matching hub. I've also seen some do steelies with chrome lugs and a chrome hub cap (the actual hub cap not a wheel disk). That looks kinda sharp in an old school way.

They do look retro. But won't buying these & tyres postpone your budget for alloys?

With a good offset and provided it's lowered enough, then they'd look fly 8)

Hope you can make it work :) I quite like the differences in taste on here... Nitin's pic convinced me they look horrendous.
