Steel wheels for winter, E350??
Does anyone know where I can find steel wheels that will fit my E350 (bluetec) not staggered?
I am really sick of denting (or worse) the crappy tire rack wheels I bought for the car.
Time for new snow tires, I might as well do new wheels too, but am really ready to give up on nice wheels.
Just as happy to have steel for the winter.
Specs are: 17" x 7.5"
5 lug
112 bolt
have to be able to hold the tpms
Please see photo of the last pothole casualty.

Used Alum good idea. You see the MB with black steel wheels all over Germany in the winter. really not that nice looking.

Not sure where you are located...but Les Schwab Tire was able to source steel black wheels for my Land Rover (Pacific Northwest region).
I used to put studded snow tires on black steel wheels and use them whenever there was ice/snow or I was heading up to the mountain.
I don't have that issue in Texas...I miss having that issue
