I want to get a winter rim/tire setup and have been thinking of getting winter tires put on my 16" sport rims and getting an aftermarket setup for good weather. I'm on a pretty tight budget so I am considering getting 16" aftermarket rims so I can put my essentially new OEM tires on them. Or, if I can find 16" version of either of these rims, I may put the winter tires on them. Either way, best case scenario, I can use my stock 16" tires.

Ever since Ro Ja Boy's thread about "which wheels" I've been drawn to the mini r99 look. However, they are 17's. I also like the Hartge Union Jacks (18"s).

In a perfect world, I'd find 16" replicas of one of these rims that are reasonably priced and not complete crap rims. Barring that, 17"s would work, if I could get a deal that made the additional tire purchase okay.

Been looking around, and not finding much. If anyone knows of any good sources that might help, lemme know.

(Yes, I already posted in a couple of mini forums .)


Here's pic's of each:
