I think I'm just gonna go with steel wheels (sorry Dirk) since alloy is gonna cost at least $600.
If I get these

what kind of lug nuts/bolts do I need to get?
This 2017 Mirage has been at LKQ in your area for a month. Maybe the wheels/tires are still available?

14" aluminum wheels are $35/each including a $5 core charge. I don't know what they would charge for the tires.

At $35/each, that’s only a few dollars less than new ones. Shouldn’t I just buy the new ones then?

Hey its your money and those steelies will look just fine. Just keep spray painting them black with a gloss finish and get you some chrome lugnuts and your good. Keep in mind though its only a $20 difference between the Vision Cross and what your getting.

You are comparing a $35 steel rim to $149 factory rim.

You are missing the point here. If you can get alloy factory rims for a few dollars less than cheap steel rims, you have found a huge bargain! You are comparing $150 steel rims to $600 alloy rims (that can be had for a lot less than new steel rims).
I paid $40 just to replace a lost Mirage hub cap for my steel wheels, & it was used. If you could find a good deal on factory alloy rims, I would not pay extra for cheap steel ones! I would make sure the lug nuts come with the use alloy wheels, too.
Personally, I like the looks of this factory alloy wheel that was designed for a Mirage (14" x 4.5") better than any aftermarket wheel I have seen anyone share on this forum. I am not a big fan of adding 6"+ wide rims on a Mirage unless you know for certain you are going to use 185 or plus wide tires.
If I was sticking with 165/65r14 (22.4") or 175/65r14 (23") tires, these factory rims would be my 1st choice. Especially, if the price was right!
