Chrome Steelie or Reverse?
I understand what a Chrome Reverse Wheel is, and that it is not to be confused with a Smoothie.
But what, if any, is the difference between a Chrome Reverse Wheel and a Chrome Steelie? I've had a little search on here and on Google, but no real definitive answer to my question...

Re: Chrome Steelie or Reverse?
Thank you Tim, now I get it.
I wonder how my truck would look with some deep dish Chrome Reverse Wheels? Could be the way to go.. ![]()

Re: Chrome Steelie or Reverse?
I always liked them back in the day,then got away from chrome due to rust issues. But with the years passing and my '67 going to be a pleasure vehicle not driven in winter,parked inside,and generally only driven in good weather I want some. I have 8" steelies I had powder coated red in '05 to run wheelcovers and narrow white walls on a '72 short bed I had. I sold that truck to build this '67 that is going nowhere. Anyway,this truck is going another direction running dog dish hubcaps and everything is planned round the red wheels. I came to realize if I got chrome wheels I could go with any color scheme. The '65 Pontiac hubcaps I have would look great with the rim mirroring the alternate chrome/black ribs. The open look is great,too. I'm sure your truck would look hot with them

Re: Chrome Steelie or Reverse?
Food for thought on the rusting issue Tim, especially over here with the amount of rain we get
