Are you speaking of the 16" steel wheels that came standard on the Syncro 16's? I recall Ken mentioning that he might be importing them for something over $200 each, but I got the feeling that this was just in the exploratory stage. Is there another source you know of here in North America? Of course, having just plunked down big $ for five 205/70R14R MXT's (which BTW are FANTASTIC on the highway - even improved my fuel economy noticeably), this would be a bit late for me...
