as do 5-lug nissans, but center bore is much larger. if the OP is using hubcentric rings (or should be), they may fit those, too.

What makes you think their worth $1300? Google lowenhart BS5 and look at the FS threads, they average 250-300$ a set, which, IIRC, is what you paid.

Definitely try Craigslist and get some cheap stock wheels with winter tires on them.

I don't blame you! I drove my last car (240) in vancouver when I went for a visit and I did a 360 on a main road with only a thin sheet of snow. I don't know how much difference snow tires will make.

T70_Supra, I'm picking up my seats today.. they better be good!! lol

Steelies and winter tires are cheap. Shop around Cam. If anyone can find them you can.

Lawl, WI winters would do wonders for those wheels

Kansas winters + chrome Mercedes wheels = bad, though the previous owner had the stockies chromed so it may just be the quality of the work that was done on them.

Alliteration aside, all the best options have been mentioned, IMO. Craigslist is excellent for cheap, reasonable deals, or go steelies if you're daring. But my vote is search Craigslist for a bit and hold on to your wheels and bump the price down to less than $900, even with tires. You may get a few nibbles then, and you've got room for negotiation. Though it was mentioned that you paid ca. $300 for the wheels; no offense to you but I understand that you're flat broke, however trying to make an approximately 400% profit makes you no better than the pawn shops

Quicker money would be selling them for closer to what they are worth...you'll have a smaller profit margin but it's better than being stuck with wheels that you feel you can't use in the winter and still not having winter tires.
