I’m looking at replacing my wife’s car next year. Seems that these days most new cars come with aluminum wheels which I would assume are for weight/fuel savings. For every car owned I’ve always kept a set of snow tires mounted on separate steel wheels. Mostly because they are cheaper and I don’t relish the idea of sliding on ice and smacking a pricey aluminum wheel into a curb. When I look at the specs of a new car I also research substitute wheels and can’t find any for a 5 x 105 mm pattern (plenty of aluminum ones however). Are steel wheels dead or does anyone know a source?
