Steel Wheels for Stock Size Tires

Yes, I know you think steel wheels are ugly. But I don't care.

I already have a set of snow tires that are the same size as the stock tires. I don't want to constantly unmount the stock ones and mount the snow ones for winter so I want a set of steel wheels just for my snow tires.

I have seen some nice looking steel wheels used as spares on the Lexus RX330 and other SUV type vehicles. They are a five spoke design.

This is the best example that I can find

So where can I buy a set of wheels like this and what specifications are needed to fit the stock tire size?

Thanks.

Cool Steelie wheelies.....

The only steelies I've seen (I for sure haven't seen them ALL) will only fit the auto, with the smaller brake discs.

Couldn't find any to fit my stock 18's, or even the 17" snows I ended up with.

IMO, steelies look so nasty that even the cheapest of the cheap alloys would look way better, so that is what I got.

What alloys did you get? I have only found one that was less then $100 and it looked hideous.

Wink Lookin'....

Now I never claimed they weren't hideous!

I'm in Canada, so our selection is different, a tire company put together a package that included some cheapies - I think they were TRDs, and yes, uggo, but still better than steels.
