Default New look for steelies (56K beware)

This winter, I decided to get an acutal set of snow tires, so I had to find some steelies to put them on. I found an old set of 14's for $10. They looked horrible, but they weren't bent, so I got them. I sanded the rust spots, sand blasted them, had them powder coated gloss black, put on some pinstripes (yes, I know it isn't perfect, but when it is on the car, it isn't that big of a deal), modified some centercaps from my mesh wheels, and here are the results. What do you guys think? I am guessing it is going to be a love it or hate it kind of thing, but I like it - it is not to flashy, but a bit different than a "typical" black steelie. The only problem that I had is that the caps won't stay on because the steelies mount tighter and force the cap to keep popping off. Ohh well..........
