I am in need of some assistance with fitment of steel wheels for my blue. What I am looking for is a source for affordable steel wheels that will fit my car. The place I went today wants to charge me $92.00 each for the same ones that are used on the local PD cars. (gasp)

I went to Tire Rack. I couldn't even find a steel wheel for the car there. I found something for the Crown Vic in a 16 X 7 but I am not sure that the back spacing will work out.

Any help that you guys can give will be appreciated.

The CV steel wheel will bolt on with no trouble whatsoever. Check the gallery and previous threads for snow tire/wheel combonations.

Thanks. I got in touch with the Tire Rack by phone and they took care of me. Apparently our winter tire choices are limited due ot the different tire sizes called for by the car.

I got the steel wheels and teh Blizzak WS 50 for a total of about $680.00. That includes mointing, balancing and shipping.

I just put on 5 spoke aluminum wheels and tires all the way around for $660 and it looks pretty good.

What wheel and tire and where did you get the setup?
