I guess it will be one of those things i don't get lol. I am all about classic design cues. Simple 5 spoke wheel is about as good looking as it can get to me., Torq thrust II and torque thrust D are some of the best looking wheels ever made Dark colors cry for chrome, etc etc.I don't know if I can explain it but I'll try.
Speaking strictly for myself, others might have different reasons.
When I first started getting into cars and truck custom was king for me. Stock always looked so boring.
As I've gotten older I've seen so many fads and participated I a few of them. I look back and wonder WFT were we thinking? So many bad things were done to great cars.
It's made me appreciate classic details so much more because they are familiar and you know how they age and they'll never really go out of style. I appreciate details that I never appreciated in the past. Those small undersized wheels and tires tucked deep in the wheel wells of a classic car use to bother me, now I love them.
Maybe I just got old but I get it now.
That doesn't mean I don't like a car that has been properly stanced either (and I don't mean that in the way kids do these days) I mean a really proper sized tire that sits nice and flush with the lip and sits just right in the arch.
I don't know if you can see it in my profile pic very well but I put a lot of work into getting my fire bird to sit just right on modern wheels and tires that I think still look tasteful and I hope will age well and not look like a tacky fad in 10 years.
I totally get why some people think the steelies look cheap because I use to feel the same but I've come around and I 'get it'.
I don't expect others to because we all like what we like and the best part about that is you don't have to worry about seeing me roll down the street with the same exact mods as you.
The thing I really don't get is the over 20" wheels with rubber bands for tires on off roaders. If we're gona shit on someone for there taste let's fight the real enemy brodozers
Steelies I just dont get it. With a hub cap yeah I get it but just the straight up steelie I dont get it lol. I'm happy you guys that love it can get it.
