The VersaStyle wheel is a cost-competitive answer for all vehicle
segments in an environment where consumers’ demand for styled wheels
continues to grow. VersaStyle consists of one steel wheel backbone and a
styled cap. Its optimized spoke structures and large ventilation areas
create various design and personalization opportunities as well as
design flexibility for steel wheels, e.g. multi-paint finishes, coatings
and wheel inserts.

In response to its customers’ requests for a steel wheel that can serve
as a cost-competitive technology, VersaStyle also impacts a vehicle’s
fuel efficiency by being up to eight percent lighter than a cast
aluminum wheel.
