Steel Wheels: Upgrade? Not A Lot Of Money!

Josh · Dec 27th, 2005, 02:13 AM

I have a 1997 Nissan Sentra GXE with plastic wheel covers (P175/70R13). I want to remove the plastic wheel covers and go with just the steel wheels. Has anyone ever painted the black steel wheels? Should I just buy new wheels? I do not want to put any extra money in this car, but I really do not like the plastic wheel covers. I have noticed other cars . . . Honda Civics, that just have steel wheels (no covers) and they like good. Any suggestions on how to dress the steel wheels up?

That would be good but he said he doesnt want to put any money into the car. I would think that they would be worth it though.

paint them black and clear them so they have a nice black glossy look

theres a set on NF selling for $300 if you can justify spending a few hundred on some great looking upgrades.
