What about this for a cheap winter wheel?

I was looking today..

http://www.wheelstiresandmore.com/p-...8x75-5440.aspx

Camaro 18s have the same bolt pattern, the width is good, and they're steel & not aluminum which I've always preferred in snowy weather.

The issue is then it's a 38 offset, we need about a 27..28..ish. Would a 10mm spacer take care of this issue? Does anyone see a problem going this route?

I mean, $58/wheel....

I guess I don't think it'll work given the bore size..

No offense... but would you honestly considering a steel wheel on that car?
Even if you are just using these just for the shortest possible timeframe (4 months or so), do you really want to look at the boring stell for that long every year?

Just my opinion, but I would not consider it whatever it costs.

I love steel wheels for winter! I would not mind looking at that all winter long, it's winter & depressing anyways haha. But they're winter beater wheels so I don't care if they get scuffed up from whatever in the road.. Being steel I feel they're tougher too.

But... Turns out it won't..

Wish we could fit 17s, since they make steelies in 17s for BMWs haha.
