Rocking steelies in the winter is what it is all about lol. Then you look forward to putting your rims on when it gets nice out. I remember those days.

Plus 16" snow tires are pretty cheap. I think when I had bought mine it was cheaper to get the 16" steelies with snow tires than just buy the 18" snow tires

I got a question. Will those steel rims on tirerack fit an 05? when you search for winter rims for an 05 ss/sc they don't come up but when you search an 06 they come up.
05 and 06 have the same 5-110 bolt pattern right? so they should fit?

yes they should fit fine as long as it is 5x110 bolt pattern

the skittle will be easier and cheaper to get wheels and tires for given the commonality of the bolt pattern
