IME/IMO if they have hub centric rings they aren't proper wheels. You'll have issues with these every time they come off and back on if you do get them right this time. I have found this to be true even with fairly expensive and well manufactured wheels, hub centric rings are an immediate pass for me. I would think this would be aggravated by a climate that needs winter tires.
You've actually got a bigger quagmire than I originally thought because apparently Ford steelies are only in 18" (Interceptor / police wheels) so now you need new winter tires too.
