Look for 15" Toyota Corolla Steel Rims. Ebay, junk yard, local tire shop.

Anything that has the same bolt pattern & offset. Why 15"?

...also, smaller wheel = more "room" within the wheelwell for 'slinging' chains to rotate without hitting body parts.

I spent a winter on 225mm wide directional tires in my old car. Felt like the thing was on skis when trying to get moving.
