Default Need Advice On Steel Wheels For Snow Tires

We recently purchased a 2009 Accord and it came with a set of 17" snow tires but not an extra set of wheels. When I look up steel wheels for this car it looks like it was only offered with 16" steel wheels not 17". I believe the OEM aluminum wheels that are on it now are 17 x 17-1/2. Can anyone tell me any other Honda vehicles that came with 17 x 7-1/2 black steel wheels with the same bolt pattern so I know how to search for them? Thanks in advance!

3rd gen CR-V LX had 17" steel wheels that should fit your Accord. offset is 5mm less, but that shouldn't be an issue

another option would be something like Dorman 326-939-108 with hub centric adapters (70.6mm to 64.1mm)

Or just run some used aluminum rims? Snow tires don't NEED to be steel. Undesirable factory aluminum rims can usually be had for next to nothing.

Mark, if I could be picky, are you aware of a donor Honda that would have 17" wheels and the same offset?

Ryan, I agree that the aluminum wheels are plentiful and fairly affordable. However, I'd prefer steel because in my experience they hold up better to the heavy salt we get around here. The steel will rust but once the aluminum corrodes I fight slow air leaks until we break it down, grind out the corrosion and fill the voids. Wash, rinse, repeat...

Still hoping someone might be able to suggest a donor Honda that would have 17" wheels and the same offset. You guys are great, thank-you for the help thus far.
