Steel Winter wheels for MSP?

[sbagdon]

Does anyone run steel wheels on their MSP for winter snow tires? If so, what did you pull them off of? I have to start dealing with winter tires, I just sold my other car, so all of my steel wheel and Blizzak plans are shot...

i don't exactly understand why selling your other car= no steelies and blizzak's...

[sbagdon]

Because all of the my steel wheels and snow tires were for my old car. Everything for my old car has now been sold, on eBay.

they have good prices. got myself 4 steel wheels and 4 dunlop graspics for $250!
dunlop graspics are great in snow, suck on dry.

I have nokian RSI winter tires, and there awesome. Also the toyo garret ht's are very good.... ....but I wouldnt trade my nokains for them. And get some 15" rims as the tires are alot cheaper.

Anything special I should look out for, when shopping for 15" steels? I've bought 15" rims before for a 15" car, then found out that the offset was wrong (on a steel wheel!). Anything else I should look out for?

Thanks!

i've seen people use P5 wheels on their msp. the only thing is that 16" snow tires are more expensive than 15".

P5 Wheels are perfect, offset, bore size and bolt pattern are the most important.

I bought my steelies for $55 CDN each (about $45 USD) from the stealership.

Tirerack....I bought Steelies 16" and Dunlop Wintersport's for $500 shipped. Not 1 problem last year with them! :)
