Steel wheels for Winter Tire

Got winter tires on steel rims at costco, they had no issues getting the right ones.

 

The c-wheels page shows a Costco Wholesale logo, so that's probably the wheel that Costco sold you.

Has anyone found a US source for a stock size steel wheel? I'm a 45 minute drive from Windsor Ontario but the border's still closed.

Okay, I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-5X114-3-finish-APPLICATION-FITMENT/dp/B01MFCBPHO but the center bore is huge and I'm not sure if a center bore adapter would work with a stamped wheel.

 

After your long wait for your Clarity PHEV, you want to put steel wheels on it? I put winter tires on our original rims and for non-winter use bought the Clarity accessory rims, which I think look better than the originals. I'm old and cannot detect an audible difference with the accessory wheels, which lack the originals' resonators. Of course, the aluminum Honda wheels cost more than steel wheels, but no hassles with center adapters, offsets, or tire sizes. And don't forget the differences in lug nuts you have to consider.

 

Actually, I'm more likely to go with reman OEM wheels: https://www.carid.com/perfection-wheel/18x8-5-split-spoke-medium-sparkle-silver-full-face-alloy-factory-wheel-mpn-wao-63142-ps15-ff.html?singleid=1536324834&url=123731631

The steelies would allow me to blend in when crossing Ontario though.

 

What, have you got some kind of special diplomatic immunity that allows you to cross the border into Canada? I had to drive to the National Drive Electric Week event in Kalamazoo last Saturday because I couldn't cross the border to the event in nearby Windsor. The remanufactured wheels sound like the perfect option.

Edit: I just looked at the remanufactured wheels and they don't appear to come with the plastic parts. No matter, those parts are easy to pop off and swap between wheel sets.

 

No, no--I'm assuming that someday in the distant future that will be the reality. My mother lives in Lincoln, Massachusetts and we lop off almost 100 miles by cutting across from Sarnia to Queenston on the way.
As things stand right now, Massachusetts won't let us in to mingle without a 14 day quarantine, so that visit has been indefinitely delayed. Fortunately, my sister lives in Larchmont, NY and Massachusetts lets New Yorkers in without quarantine.

The advantage of the reman OEM's is in the lug nut and offset situation. Much less expensive than the accessory wheels through a Honda dealer.

 

I bought the exact Michelin tires at Canadian Tire and considering these wheels which has the exact specs for Honda Clarity:

I couldn't tell from this page if they work with Honda lug nuts. If not, you'll need to buy a set of lug nuts for these wheels.

 

I asked the seller and here is the response:
"....
Firstly, these wheels are absolutely OK to use in winter. In fact, they are designed for our Canadian winter and have a salt/calcium resistant paint finish.

Secondly, these are indeed a direct-fit wheel for your Clarity and will fit exactly like an original wheel would. You do not need any installation kit if you choose to purchase them as all your original hardware will work.
... "

It goes on sales every couple of weeks for $153 instead of $161.

I first considered these wheels (https://www.canadawheels.ca/cw-wheels/se17-gunmetal-w183319?currentselectedvehicle=198520) but the seller said it won't fit the Clarity due to brake clearance issue. Not sure why since only the offset is different (45 instead of 50). He recommended other wheels that fit and the offsets are 40 and 45.

 

Did you receive your steel wheels? Do they direct fit (hub centric) with the original lug nuts? Your link to 4tires does not show the offset and bore size. These steel wheels will be my backup plan. Thanks.
