Tire Rack has 16" steelies for the speed3 winter tire package listed again. Just ordered mine with WS-60's

pretty sure the ASA wheels are not hubcentric so you should be able to simply remove whatever centering rings are in them and use them on your car.

Ask the seller to be sure.

Ordered a set of steelies and Hankook i-pikes from Town Fair, they price matched the $55 each steel wheels and gave me the Hankooks for the price of Firestone Winterforce tires, $67 each and I get a better tire. The only thing I paid extra for was the alignment and sales tax, It was $681.45 total, and I get a better set of tires.

Where do you live??

 

[nhluhr]

woohoo!

MA, good thing there was no accumulation...

ok so i know a while back someone asked me for pics but i was too lazy to put the wheels on so here you go.

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but with steelies, how are you verifying that nothing is rubbing? Also, is the wheel hub exposed in the center? I know on the steelies I had on my Grand Am, the wheel hubs were exposed and got all rusted out..

Also, why can't you use tire pressure sensors on steelies?

 

[skubidoobie]

JDM, looks pretty good even with steelies!

My Hankook i pikes

Yeah man reppin the steelies! you gotta paint the centers tho ASAP.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

If I got steelies, i'd probably be required to get Rally Armor's because nothing's more JDM than a steelied-out STI-wanna be MS3! (completely kidding).

I noticed my centers were a little rusty, I'll pick up some semi gloss in the morning, I already have some primer. Although if I paint them pink they might look like nipples!

Well, I ended up selling the WS-50's that I picked up cheap along with the O.Z.'s but made out very well doing so. I Chose to mount some 205/50/17 Blizzak LM-25's on there instead

They handle excellent on dry pavement vs the WS-50's that seemed squirly as hell under even mid-level throttle. Much quieter as well.

I read this at work earlier today and literally busted out laughing.

You're going to paint the wheel hub that's already rusty? Or the wheel itself?

 

[skubidoobie]

The wheel hub, going to sand it lightly and then paint it.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Can't hurt things, can it? By painting?

 

[stockms3]

I bought these for my stock wheels

Michelins x-ice!
