Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

There’s low profile and then there’s LOW profile - they almost look flat! 17s? 18s? I am digging a V60 with winter steelies.

I think low profiles don't look all that great with steelies, so I agree with your assessment, BB. The V60 looks much better.

All ^ very nice.

The amazing thing is you can get steelies on a modern car, sold at your local Ford dealer:

And my first steelie love, I owned mine in this exact color/wheels, the Porsche 924 (an almost entirely forgotten model):
