Wheels of Steel is the second studio album by the English heavy metal band Saxon. It was released in 1980 and reached platinum status.
The album received very positive reviews by critics and is today regarded as being a classic metal album helping to define the genre. Canadian reviewer Martin Popoff regards Wheels of Steel as a "qualified classic" and "one of really two or three of (NWOBHM) building blocks"; it is "a record on a mission, willing to take responsibility as spokesvinyl for legions of English punters with a thirst for regular metal guys".[6]
The album eventually went on to achieve Platinum status in the UK. [9
