steel wheels

I have an 06 G35 6MT sedan. I'm interested in steel wheels for a winter setup for the car. Anyone know where to find steel wheels in 17" 5x114.3 (correct me if this is incorrect) bolt pattern?

I've seen a few pics of G35 sedans with steelies but I haven't found a place to buy them.

thanks

why buy those ugly things? just get a set of used 17" and put some good snow tires on. My winter set up is a set of 18" coupe with 235/45/18 Blizzaks. JMO.

I got mine at http://www.1010tires.com/ (But it doesn't look like they make 17s.)

You can buy them online or get them at any local tire shop. I had steel rims for my winter tire setup, but once I got my Milano's, I decided to use my 17" OEM's for my winter setup.

BTW - you don't have to get 17's.....I actually went with 16" steel rims & tires, (more meat, less chance of f'n up you rims/tires w/ potholes & 16" tires are cheaper)....but to be honest with you, after having steel rims for 2 winters (w/ hubcaps), I recommend what Chico said...just get some used OEM rims & put them on there. Steel rims run about $60 per wheel and you'll probably only have to pay a little more for used rims.

They are common on Ebay. Victoria Tire and Wheel in LA also carries a huge assortment.

Jimmy he will have to use 17"ers, 16 will not fit 06 sedans and it will not fit 05 sedans except for the 05 G35X (It will fit the 05X because it still has the smaller brakes like your 04)
I run 16" BSA alloys on my 05 X for winter.
I also agree with Chico for the 06, go with a set of OEM 17" alloys for the winter rubber. They look so much better than steelies.
