Found this on a local forum. You can order steelies in a bunch of different sizes to fit different tires. Seem to be pretty cheap to run a nice pair of slicks or for those people that don't like flashy wheels.

EDIT: Some pics

With steelies you can hit pot holes with confidence. Not bad.

widened steelies are a huge VW trend at the moment, I would love to do it to a honda, adds to the sleeper look.... especially if you still ran hubcaps >:D
