The armour-plated Steel Wheels packs plenty of extra weight for grinding persistent rivals into the wall.
The Carson "Steel Wheels" GT is a steel plated variant of the GT Concept and can only be unlocked by entering a sponsor code.
It has identical statistics and the same boost type as the Hunter Citizen making it suitable for Marked Man and Road Rage events.
The steel plating brings some quirks to the otherwise predictable GT. The increase in weight means that the handling is not as sharp or as responsive, and also significantly reduces its acceleration compared to other GT models.
It cannot match its GT cousins in feel and overall abilities but is almost unmatched compared to its brethren as a combat-heavy vehicle.
