Can you put them on yourself or does your dealer have no problem with 16'' steelies? Because mine does. I bought an Asphalt FR-S last week from Hurlbert Toyota(Epping). I traded in my RSX-S. It had good studded winter tires on and summer tires in the trunk. I asked them to buy steel wheels and move the winter tires on, but they refused, in the end stating:
"The service dept. does not feel comfortable putting any other wheels on the FR-S. Only Toyota/Scion parts. So I guess thats a "NO" Also, The RSX has been sold. I beleive one of our technicians bought it."

After which I was completely floored. They sold the car to themselves with the tires I told them I wanted to keep. Tires they refused to put on the care even though they are exact diameter (http://quad.demiurge.me/frs-vs-rsx.jpg, few mm within tolerances for same tire!) Seeing them tonight, not even sure what to say...
