My wife bent two front steel wheels at the end of snow tire season last year. I looked around Facebook Marketplace for weeks looking for bargain wheels in the right size to keep using the existing snow tires. I eventally found a set of alloys from a 90s Cadillac Seville STS. They were very cheap and the chrome was still in pretty good shape. Then I couldn't find a place that would swap the wheels over. So I went to my friend's stereo and custom shop and swapped the wheels over myself. So now my wife's 2012 CR-V has Cadillac wheels on it (with appropriate centering rings). Busting tires is hard work.

Motronic posted:You couldn't hammer the wheels out with the tires off? That's the best part about using steelies for winter tires. I painted them last year before winter season. They still looked great (other one being badly bent and one being mildly bent) after 4-5 months of winter driving. They looked terrible when I took them out of the big outdoor storage box/bench I built for them. Yes, I could bag the wheels or do something else to keep moisture away. It was easier to just get some alloy wheels that won't get rusty in storage.
