I have an outstanding set of Artic Alpins mounted on Steel rims with hub caps. They are only 2 months old. No more worrying about winter, and no need to have them remounted every other season. They will fit your car and I only want $300 for them. The engine seized on our car, and I need to unload them. Email me if you are interested. Dave
