I want to put on 19" winter rims on my 2009 R3. Does anyone know if you can buy plain black steel winter rims for this car? Do you know where I can find these?

thanks

I dont' think anyone here would recommend using a 19" wheel in the winter. Most people go with a 17 x 7.5 in the winter. use the search button you'll find loads of info.

I already bought 19" winter tires last year, and used them on my OEM rims. Now that I know I will be keeping my car long term, I was hoping to find a basic winter rim to keep the tires on, instead of changing over the winter and summer tires every year on the OEM rims.

Just look for some Cheap wheels on Tirerack.com

I was gonna say it might be cheaper to buy a 4wd snow beater than secure 19" wheels and tires for a few snow days. But since you've done half the work.. check out discount tire and tirerack's websites. I've never seen 19" steelies but I can imagine they'd look ghastly on an 8 .

I'd at least drop down to 18s. I have Dunlop Wintersport M3s and they worked fine last winter. i have always been swapping on the stock rims myself. If I had to do it again, Id have gotten a entire set of extra rims for winter. Another thing to keep in mind is that 19" winters for the R3 will be insanely expensive.

you can get a pretty nice beater for the price of 4 19" wheels w/ winter tires...
