$100
Set of 4
15" steel wheels, 4-108 bolt pattern
Mounted: Bridgstone Blizzaks WS-15, 205/55R15
Full set of lug nuts (16) comes with purchase so you don't have to wreck your shiny crome ones.
Tires have 4-seasons on them (20K-25K miles). Tread wear is uniform on all four tires. Last season they were still balanced when I took them off.

You going to any local meets anytime soon? I would like to look at them.
Anyone know how wide the steelies are and how wide of a tire you can with them?

You don't want to even attempt to corner aggressivly with snow tires.

The steelies are 15x6.0
You could run 215 treads on a 6" wheel but I wouldn't go any wider than that. However, as a rule, snows work better with a narrower contact patch. The added width will increase the tendency for the tire to float (not a good thing)

Meets are held every now and then. I'm hoping everyone can agree on next weekend on the 26th.
But as the steelies go, I'd like to see them first. I was thinking that I'd want them for AutoX and get rid of my Euro rims. I would'nt even use the snow tires. Or I could run them alittle bit on the Contour this winter, if they clear the brakes, or my dad also needs winter tires as well for his Focus, so this might be a good deal.
Hopefully, you can show up to a meet next weekend if everyone can manage to make it. I'll bring cash just in case...
