Steelies (steel rims) were the lowest cost wheel option. Some people added chrome rings around the perimeter, and various types of center-caps (including the half-moon ones). Few people want the steelies, and many have expressed difficulty in even giving them away for free. I sold my set last year for $100, after I replaced the wheels with Mahles. Here's my car with the old steeies and rusty trim rings. Is that what you mean? Attached image(s)

I've been sticking with the skinny stock size: 165 80 15. Not sure the full size range it will accept. I probably should have gone for a lower aspect ration and wider tire. |

Another tire options is Vredstein 185 70 15. Same size used by 911 in the 70's.
Around $135 each. |
