Snow tires rule

I recently put on new 4 Bridgestone Blizzaks ws-50's - 16" Malibu Maxx steel wheels w215/55/16. Today my area got 18" of snow and these tires are great. I can drive by all the suv's going 10mph without any trouble at all. The stock Pirelli' sucked in a 1/2" of snow, I might as well had 4 racing slicks on the car. The tire rack has these for about $105 apiece, and I mounted and balanced myself. Snow tires are worth the price.

Agreed.
I'm running Yokohama Ice Guards. I'd never make it anywhere with the Pirellis.

Steel Winter Wheels

Hi Guys,
Just got back from my dealer. They say they can't guarantee the wheels from a Malibu will fit, as their books don't deal with conversions like this. What I'd like, is the exact decription or part number for those Malibu steel wheels. That way, when they order them, I don't have to worry about them ordering the wrong ones and making me pay for them anyway.
Thanks
