Mark, thanks for the link to the reasonably priced new 14" steel rims. Since winter is a long time from now, I might just keep an eye out for a set of decent used 14" steels on craigslist and at local junkyards. Then something like those Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 (Non-Studded) 155/70R14s might be the ideal winter tire.
I beginning to wonder if my Scion alloy rims are actually somewhat wider than the stock Scion XA steel wheels, not too wide for the 185/60R15 Scion stock tire size, but maybe too wide for narrower tire sizes I might want to use on a Mirage if I were to put 15" rims on it. If so, I'll just clean up the alloy rims and sell them.
