Default Steel wheels

Other then the spare tire/wheel does anyone make a steel wheel for the X150. Either in a 19 or 20" that can be used for snows or just for rollers while the OEM wheels are being refinished. Just curious.

Jagtoes, I tried to get steel rims as well for the winter but was unable to find steel rims that would fit. I opted for a 2nd set of aluminum rims with no regrets as its a nicer look for the car. 245 40 19 all around.

That size steelie is going to be a custom build and won't be any cheaper than OEM. Also, uglier. A lot uglier. But, if you really want 19" or 20" steelies, Detroit Steel Wheel ? Steelies will build them for you.

It would also be quite a bit heavier than alloy, I'd think. An increase in both unsprung weight and rotational mass.

My spare tire is a 19" steel wheel with a limited use tire. It fits over my 20's and even though it look solid I was wondering if they make similar wheels. It would not be for full time use although maybe for someone who drives in the winter with snow tires if they were available. As I don't see a mfg on my spare I was wondering who makes them. Just curious.
