   Steelies will only look good exposed with other mods. On a standard car they could look silly?

    Im not keen on trims that try to look like alloys, to obvious and a bit of a waste of cash sometimes.

    I think you should spray your steelies white and put put rim tape on them, also you should deffenetly lower it as well

    u can put stripes on steelies, use two contrasting colours.
    
    the white ones above look cool with the blue bolts, you could have blue concentric circles aswell.
    
    must say though, those black trims look pretty decent aswell.
    
    matt black the steelies and then and trims with colour will look pretty decent
