Tirerack has some packages as low as 607 shipped. That's winter tires and steelies.

 

I just run my stock ss wheels in the winter! haha. I take my 19s off when im not showing.

 

I just baught slightly used Bridgestone Blisaks WS50's for 250 Canadian, if your skint on cash it can't hurt to try some used tire places. although I got mine from a friend from autocrossing.

 

I paid a thousand for new steelies and Micheline 205s XIce installed.

 

Since the Malibu Maxx (Part No. 9594785, 16x6.5) steel wheels have gone up in price, there isn't much available for the 18" SS/SC owners.

Found out today that the old $69 wheels (CAD) went up to $169 ($117 Dealer Cost). Since there is no other choice really, I'll be forking out a discounted $120 each for a set of 4 steel wheels.

I bought 4 tires at WalMart for $532.37CAD taxes in. They are the 215/55R16 Dunlop Graspic DS-1 Winter Tires (This size keeps the outer diameter and the width to stock). They are about $40 dollars cheaper per tire at walmart than other places.

The dealer that I'm ordering the wheels from will charge $12 per tire for ballancing and mounting.

The total should be something like this, all said and done(CAD):

Walmart Graspic DS-1 (215/55R16) $114.98ea. X 4 =$471.12 (incl. environment tax)
Malibu 16x6.5 Maxx Steel Wheel (PN:9594785) $120ea. X 4 =$480.00
Ballance and Mount @ GM Dealer $12ea. X 4 =$48

Subtotal: $999.12
GST: $59.95
PST(MB): $69.94
TOTAL: $1129.01 (plus gas to and from all these places)

Or, I could get a winter beater car for that much!, lol..............

 

i am just using my stock hubs and tires and taking off my good set of 17" bsa 333 with nankang low pros. The rims and tires put me back around 600 total

 

im just driving my cavalier this winter, lol.

i would like to find a cheap set of steelies for the SS tho, but since the base balt is a 4 lug, and brand new steelies seem to be pricey, im not sure how ill manage that. i remember when finding 5x100 steelies for the cavalier in the winter cost like $200 or less for a full set.
