Going to be putting 315's on 17x9 rims so decided I would buy a cheap steel wheel and put a 315 on it and use it as a spare.
I cannot find a 17x9 steel wheel! All I can find in steel wheels are the 16x6.5 OEM wheels but nothing bigger and the ones I find are only about $50 less than I paid for my Eagle Alloys.
Never thought it would be this hard to find a cheap steel wheel. Anyone know where I can get a cheap 17x9 steel wheel?

Stockton Wheel can hook you up - don't know what the price would be though, but it'd be worth a shot to call and ask.

For some reason I couldn't get onto the site today. I was able to get in now so I'll call them tomorrow.

Holy crap! The they want $180, including shipping, for a powdercoated steel wheel.
My Eagle Alloys were only $140 each, including shipping.
At that price I'll just get another Eagle alloy to use for the spare....

Thanks, Mark. That makes two of us. I can get H2 take offs a lot cheaper, too.
