Default Winter wheels

I am wondering if any of the Gen 6 crowd know of a place to get affordable steel rims or even used OEM rims for my SS?

I have Blizzak winter tires I need to mount but I want to keep my regular rims nice and tucked away for winter.

Thanks for any help.

tirerack has them, about $50 a piece, kinda hefty but you'll always have them in the next few years, do you have the tpms sensors in each wheel???

just took my stock SS wheels off, im in california i have no winters haha. I'd be willing to sell my stock 16" SS wheels for 350 + shipping. i have no way to get the tires off, so they'd go with. they are in great shape honestly, one wheel has about an inch of rash on the lip, you have to look for it. could get pics if your interested.

junk yard or craigslist. if you don't care about the look any 97-03 grand prix, 97-04 regal, 00-05 impala will work. if you can find a 16" 'stang that would work too.

Junk yard is probably smarter than Craig's list...since you see instantly just what you're getting.

I usually do Craiglist face to face....I would only buy remote with lots of pics and verified PayPal transacation to try and reduce some of the risk.

I have not found any late gen yards local to here but maybe I am not looking in the right places lol

I really have no idea lol.....how do you determine that?

Ignore the above....did some quick research and it looks like 06 - 07 Monte Carlos use the sensor on the wheel. Previous years use the ABS system to determine wheel rotation speed which will change if the pressure is different then the other wheels.
