What steelies are you guys using for winter?
Thought I'd share this tidbit of info - 15" steelies from any Dodge Grand Caravan (5x114) work great. Offset is a bit on the low side, but OK if you're running a 195. The tire will still be inside the wheel well with no rolling. Center bore is much larger.
And best of all, they are super cheap at the yard, because these vans are a dime a dozen
I paid about $60 for 4.

Same I use year round (unless I throw the Slips on to go for a drive). CRV steelies (thanks Black R) Painted them for Christmas 2 years ago and have been too lazy to repaint them. Thanks Victor at VPR for the helmet.
Funny you say that. Some guy I don't know came up to me a few months back and offered me $1,000 for them as he thought they were Volks. He wanted them then and there and the Azenis on my Slips at home were flat so I had to turn him down. I also let him know they were just $150 CRV steelies.

Just remember - if the seating area on the wheels is ball-shaped, use stock lug nuts; if it's conical, use aftermarket lug nuts with a conical seating area.
I'm using a set of steelies I bought used; I think the person I got them from bought a set of tires and steelies from the Tire Rack.
