Talking Just bought a sport Fit questions

I want to get a set of wheels for snow tires. Just looking for cheap steel wheels. Nothing fancy just plane jane wheels for snow tires.
I tried Tire Rack and Discount Tires but the wheels they sell are performance type wheels that are kind of expensive.
I also tried looking at ebay for someone selling the base model steel wheels but couldnt find any. Plus not sure if the base model 14 inchers will work on the sport model i bought with 15 inch wheels.

Any suggestions.

the base steelies will work, the brakes, suspension are same, so you shouldnt have a problem, but if you have tpms sensors, you might want the new ones to have too, but you dont HAVE to...

Trade me your aluminum for my steel.

Quality steel makes it real!

Were is a good place to buy the OEM 14 inch steel wheels cheap? I realize i could go to the dealer i bought the car from but generaly going to the dealer to buy even oem steels wheels is way way over priced. I bet the dealer would want 100 bucks for a 14 inch steel wheel.
