steel wheels for the winter
Does anyone know where I can get a set of steel wheels for my 04' STi, say around $50 a wheel?
I' just purchased a set of Blizzaks from tire rack.. and I would like to save the $$ on a new set of rims... they are just for winter after all. I'm hoping I wont have to swap them on my stock rims... and then back again in the spring. - Ari

@AriAllen As for the Brembo calipers STI. If you cannot find steel rims, you might consider Brake swap as well for the winter (you can treat all the set -brakes, wheels, tires- as winter set). Then, you can use the WRX brakes and steel wheels. Try to source one from some "Subaru breakage" stock, then it would not cost much and you can have it for like 2-3 winters depends on usage, however, your summer set will have a longer life consequently.

doesn't really make sense to spend a few hundred dollars on new brakes to save the $70/wheel it costs to go with some Rota's or ASA's instead of 16" steelies.
