What options for late 2006 MCS for Steelies?

Has anyone found a solution for late 2006 MCS for steelies cause of the 14mm bolt?

Is there a steelie out there for me?
I wanted to run 15" steelies with winter tires, but cant seem to find a rim that'll fit?

Thanks

5.5" backspacing on a 7" rim is a 38mm offset, so that looks like it's in the right ballpark.

Unfortunately, they're now listed as "not available" on the Summit site. In fact, the 06 series isn't even listed on Wheel Vintique's own website.

Thanks..
I guess the search continues..
I'm sure there is some steelie out there that can be found..
I'll hit up the local store this weekend and find out.. I'll call Summit too and see what they say..

I'll check out the other Wheel Vintiques options and summit I guess..

otherwise, anyone have idea for a low maintenance - low cost (<$60) rim for winter use?
