Cheap Thrills in Milton is probably the best route. Aside from that, you can try other retailers offering aftermarket rims.

BAT Inc. in Florida has some cheap NEW stock 16-inch rims. I think they were under $250 USD.

One way or another, I'll be using genuine snow tires this winter. Probably means another set of rims. I've read several places that the extra width of 17" tires doesn't buy better traction, and that taller 16" tires are actually better in snow and probably cheaper than 17" tires. So I'm looking for 16" Focus-able rims - either new or in good condition, with or without useable snow tires. I would also consider 17" rims. I'm in the Kitchener/Waterloo region, and would consider driving a maximum of 100km to pick up the rims.

So, what a good 16" snow tire with the right external diameter so that the speedometer isn't off ?
