I do have steel wheels, but I no longer have the tires.  The van needed new tires on the front, and I did not like the tires on the rear, which were Cooper IIRC.  I wanted to have five tires alike, and all fitting the original specs, and I got Kuhmo tires.  Discount Tire gave me a good trade in on the two Cooper tires.  Other places just said that they didn't take trade ins.  But the tires were on there.  I guess I was risking a tire popping the bead or something, but I did not drive it very long with them.
