"OE fit" & "factory fit" appear to signal the proper bore size, but you still need to check.

The key to steelies in addition to 5x100 is "hubcentric" with a "56.1 mm bore size". We know that 16" wheels should fit because the spare is actually a 16" wheel.

As previously discussed two steel wheel codes that appear to reflect 56.1 bore dimensions appear to be:

x66008 50mm offset
x66008-1 42 mm offset
x40867 references appear inconsistent sometimes regarding dimensions.

What I think you do not want are steel wheels with a bore of 57.1 as I do not believe these are hubcentric?

I can confirm that the X66008, 16"x6.5", 5x100, 50mm offset, steel rims are indeed 56.1 mm bore, so hubcentre. My black steel wheels arrived last week with 205/55R-16 Xice XI3's mounted and balanced and ready to go!

After mounting I plastidipped the rear axle centre nuts to protect against the elements. Still thinking about a centre cap if I could find one.

They ride pretty good so far, just no snow to test them in!

Oops, forgot to say no TPMS and no light yet. Will report back on this one.
