Does anyone have info. on where I could get some 15" wheels(cheaper the better). Has anyone purchased 15's for their car? It does not matter if they're 15X8 or 15X7. I was considering getting some spare stock 17's and putting an all season tire on that but the price is a bit too much. Currently I have stock 18's with the Potenza tires from Pontiac. I don't think these will fare too well in the snow. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Jimmy.

Try barretire.com They have a huge selection of steel wheels and they are fairly cheap.
I got 4 new steel wheels, 4 snow tires w/ studs and mounted/balanced shipped to my door for $420 for my honda accord.
Email them for specific fitment as they don't list any
I'd get a 225/60/16.... Only .1% difference in size.

with our brakes, 16" would be the smallest you could do, and that woudl be a uber tight fit. the '05 w/ 12.5 fronts, 17" should be the smallest you could do.

I am putting 15s on my '04 for winter. I got a steal on the tires/rims. '04s have smaller rotors.

you already fit them???
I have 12" front brakes on my grand prix and 16's are the smallest I can fit.
when it had stock 11" front brakes the 15's I had for snows just barely fit.
'04 GTO has 12" fronts and '05 has 12.5" fronts. can't see 15's on a '04, in any way. in the back, yes, but not the front.
