Steelies or OE rims for winter

Looking to get new rims for my Ralliart for winter (PA roads are viscous with potholes), since i don't want to run my Enkei SR6s in the winter I was looking at steel rims. i cant find anywhere that sells 16x6 Steel rims for my Lancer. I found on Parts geek and a site called wheels and caps OE style/refurbished rims for the 04' RA. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to get steel rims that will be a near direct fit for the RA or should I drop the money and get referb OE (i dont have a OE set as it is, when i bought the car it had Drag extremealloys) and still dodge pot holes like a mad man. I would prefer steels because i wont have to worry too much if i nail a pothole or slide of the road.

go for a 15x6 "steelie" and a taller narrower tire, and you'll show that snow and them pot holes who's boss...check offset, but I run 15's with my winters and they clear the brakes with no issues.
