Well, I wrecked my steel winter rims when I put them on with my wheel spacers on and they got slightly bent causing a minor shake at high speeds which bothered me. I found another set of steel rims for a good deal, but then decided I wanted proper alloys for next winter. I was looking for 8th Gen 5 spoke wheels but people wanted $400 + for them which is more than I wanted to pay for winter wheels.
Today I found an excellent deal and jumped on it. 25$ a piece!

They're from a Mazda Protege 5. They need lots of cleaning and one has some touch up work to do, but the other 3 are in excellent shape.

What I wanted to get....

I didn't check the bore diameter of those wheels before I bought them. Luckily they are bigger than my Civic hubs. Just bought these rings: 67.1 mm (Mazda) to 64.1 mm (Honda).
I always find it amazing that products from Asia are often shipped for free but try to order a part from the US and

Shipping is free, but it usually takes up to two weeks to get it delivered to my house.

The shipping for these rings is "approx. 4 weeks". I'll get them at the end of April.

4 weeks? No one is selling them in Canada?

That is sooner than I am projected to get my wheels.

Yes. Double the price. It's okay. Im very patient, especially for these. They are for my next winter tires.

Testing things out. Not really feeling it. Going to be challenging to find the perfect material.
