Default Wheels for snow tires?

any suggestions on wheels for use with snow tires? Are steel wheels even available for the S2000? I don't mind the looks since with the salt and snow, why ruin a good set of wheels.

Thanks.

I did these: ADR 7" X 16", 44mm offset, $200.00 Can. each. Been through 2 winters, going into 3rd, still look like new.

One of our Honda dealers (T&T Honda) in Calgary happens to have a performance division of their parts dept. called "Contemporary Motorsports". I got the wheels through them. You should be able to get these through a place like TireRack or an import "speed" shop.
These are a cheap wheel, made in China, but for what they are, they hold up quite well for winter use.

Fronts = Goodrich Winter Slalom in stock size.
Rears = Bridgestone Blizzak MZ-01 in stock size.

note: MZ-01 may no longer be available. The new ones are LM-22 (I think).

We have the Mille Miglia Evo 5 and the ASA JS6 available for the winter. We have Bridgestone LM-22, Dunlop Winter Sport M2 and the Michelin Pliot Alpin available. You should stay in the factory sizes for the winter.
If you order wheels and tires they will come mounted and balanced and ready to go.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Boiler,

If I can help with the snow tires let me know.
On a side note let me know if we can do this autocross thing for next year and make it a big deal. We had the Windy City Chapter of the BMW club here with about 100 cars.

Boiler, where'd you score some OEM wheels for $400? That's a good deal!
