I want to get some steel wheels to put some snow tires on and or possibly use year-round.
Something like this would be perfect, but i cant find them in 5x100.

Anyone know of any alternatives? I think these wheels would look pretty badass on a fiero.

I will be using All Season tires year round. Continantal DWS on 17" rims but if i find i need a set on Snow tires i will run stock GT rims and a 205/60/15 ish snow tire.

Keep in mind a wide tire may hurt more then help when traveling on SNOW. One good thing about a smaller Rim and more tire side wall is when you slide in to a CURB as i've done several time in the wifes mini van is the tire will take most of the impact instead of the rims.

Thats my 2 cents im sure others will agree to disagree.

edit: O yea I live in FL now, but will be moving to Germany in about 1 month wish me luck in the SNOW im sure my dogs and kid will love it and i will hate it!

Unfortunately, if I remember, Cragar makes no 5x100 wheels in their steel line. If you want an alternative, you can order the Nascar series in whatever size you like:

If you absolutely have to get them your only option are wheel adapters.

Thanks for the responses.
ISMA GT, those are good looking wheels too, definitely a possibility. and where would you recommend looking for wheel adapters? and what is the downside to them (if any)?
And Merry Christmas to all!

If you're considering getting the Nascar wheels, try these guys http://www.bojix.com/wheels...ripe-17-x-7.5-4x108/ - They show only 4x108, but they can get you the correct ones. I got the wheels for my focus from them and as soon as I get my car smogged and registered, I'm heading over there for a custom set of XXR's :-). Talk to Haro or George and tell them James referred you.. Nice guys. Plus, the price is much lower then the previous post.

Either way, good luck in finding the right wheels :-)

If you decide to go with those Cragars and use adapters, I have a set of 15x7 in white with 5x4-3/4" bolt circle. Bought them for a trailer and never used them. $50 + shipping for all four.
