Steelies

[08SPEED3Veteran]

Does anyone know where I can get a set of some basic steel wheels that i can slap some winter tires on for the cold season? I would like to get my wheels that i have on now powder coated for spring. thanks!

tire rack is the best place. you would be better off finding some stock speed3 or mazda 3 16,17,18" wheels off craigslist and using those. steelies tend to rub depending on how they were welded.

thats crazy you live in dover, pa. thats where my parents house is, i live in york.

I ran 16" steelies with Firestone Winterforce tires last winter. I had no problems at all, no rubbing and great traction. Just be careful when buying the steelies becuase a few of them wont clear the brake calipers. The ones from TireRack will be fine though.
