Rims for Winter Tires
Just got myself a set of winter tires, but now I need a set of rims to go with them.
I plan to just pick up some standard steel rims (dont really care about the tire pressure sensor). My dealer wants to charge $100 per... Does anyone know of a cheap place for rims?
Also, for standard rims, do I need hub rings? How much do they cost and where can I get them?
Anyone want to get rid of their stock alloys? My wheels are 16".

You have to understand, supply of Rims are under strain just like Tires.
100 per is outragous, but the seller / market is in some ways justified because once they are all gone, they are really hard to restock. he is selling that high because he know one way or another they will sell out. 
Summer time is the best time to make a move on steelies rims

Thanks for the replies.
I ended up going to Costco. I got my rims for $43 each. They also installed my rims for $15 per. Pretty good deal, they did everything, and even used nitrogen.
