I don't know if you particularly want steel rims but just as an FYI I picked up some nice 16" five spoke wheels called sport edition F7's from the tire rack for $91 a piece. To me, the extra $26 is worth it. They are painted aluminum (silver) and the spokes aren't real fat or skinny. Just perfect.

If you are talking about the F7's I put them on just to make sure they would fit, and they did. Another member on this site, CMJ917, has a set of sport edition wheels he used as winter rims last year and had no troubles.

Nice. I bought the cheapest rims at Discount Tire for the winter.

They were $65 per rim. The only steel rims I could find were more than that lol. I have the Dunlop Graspic DS-2s and man do they bite in the snow.

i dont understand the point of winter rims, i guess where i live, we dont get 3 ft of snow, at most 6 inches but thats usually for like 2 days, so is there a need for me to get them?

What back spacing would we want for a 16x6.5?
