Steel Wheels for winter

Looking to order Winter tires for my 07 Fit Sport.
Want to put them on steel wheels.
Will Civic wheels work on the FIT?

I believe that the Civics have 5 bolt wheels, so, no go.

The only thing with the steelies, is they will be very heavy no?

Go to a wrecker.

I rock my OEM steelies with the hub caps in the winter when my GSR blades hibernate all nice and clean.

Heavier than light alloy wheels, but not heavier than heavy alloy wheels. According to someone here (Chad T) who weighed them, the '09 steelies (with hubcaps) were 17.7 pounds. '07 ones may be a bit different, as I believe they're a different size, but presumably are roughly similar.

Wheel weight seems to me to be only a secondary concern for winter use; you aren't going to be pushing the limits of performance (being limited by the tire grip on ice and snow), and milage in bad weather is not so great regardless.

I have a set of Del Sol / Acura five spoke alloys I got on kijiji for 200$. They are 14" so I can run a larger sidewall and have more selection in tires. I'm happy with them.
