Not long ago, we started a little series on Ran When Parked called “test your steel wheel IQ”. The point of it is to share our rather unorthodox passion for steel wheels, and see how good our readers are at recognizing them.
So, can you name the make and model that the following wheels come from?
In some cases we have blacked out the center caps because it would have been too easy to guess otherwise. Also, it should be noted that for a lot of these wheels there are several possible right answers.
Have fun, and thanks for playing along.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
And the bonus round (not a steel wheel).
1. Alpine Renault
2. Fiat
3. Trabant
4. Pass
5. Mercedes (190?)
6. Renault 5 gordini
#1 is kind of tough: they’re aftermarket Delta Mic steelies, but you’re right, they were often mounted on Alpines.
#2 is not a Fiat.
#4 is a brand that doesn’t exist anymore.
Correct on all accounts otherwise, nice work!
