    I'm gonna advise against cheap steelies for winter usage. I've have them before and they are a pita to clean out packed snow even with a pressure washer. Easy for that said snow packed in there to freeze up and get some nasty wheel vibrations due to being off balance. Better off getting some cheap alloys instead with an open spoke type design which makes it easy to clean out.
