Best source for steelies?
Where's the best place I can get some used steel wheels (for mounting snow tires)?

Are there shops that specialize in this? Wreckers?

Who specializes in Japanese cars (SUVs)? Years ago it was Ralphs. Haven't been looking for a long time.

Crappy tire has pretty cheap steelies. I got mines from them. 46.99 a piece, what a steal! Unsure if they still have any more in stock. I'd call in advance to check if they have the ones for your car.
