After a bit of research I decided I should get some cheap steel rims with some Blizzaks and just wanted some opinions...

The wheels I was looking at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...T#ht_556wt_920
4 of those would be $240 w/ shipping

And the tires
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
4 of those would be $364

First question...are those the right size tires for a 16x6.5 rim? 205/60R16?
Is that a decent deal for both the rims and tires for a good snow setup for New England winters?
I'm totally new to tire shopping so any input would be great. Thanks

 

Well it appears the Blizzaks are not available to order according to tirerack in that size...would these be a good substitute?

Are you buying for your tc or xb? Those wheels appear to be for an xb?

 

buying for tc. they were some of the cheapest steel wheels i could find on ebay

 

The lug pattern is not the same for the tc and xb. Tc is 5x100 xb is 5X114.3

 

Snow tires definately worth it for those that drive in bad weather!

 

you sir, just saved me $240 and a lot of embarrassment.

Do you know what the cheapest steel rims are that I can find?

 

Ace,

I just decided that I am likely going to sell my 05 Scion Xb which I have a just about new winter set of 16" wheels and tires which I purchased this winter and put on only a few hundred miles on. The set consists of...
16" Momo Course RPM in Black with polished lips
205-50-16" Continental ContiWinter tires
I had paid just under $1000 for the set from Discount tire direct. If you are interested please let me know and we can work out a price. I am located in NYC so I could meet you mid way since you are in Mass.

Thx
