Steel wheels for winter?

Are there any 16" steel wheels I can get from a junkyard that I can use on my 06 mazda 3? Maybe from a ford probe or something like that. I checked at the tireshop I work at and they are $160 a piece. I have the 17" alloys. Any help would be great.

TIRE RACK IS THE BEST. My family has bought several sets of wheels and tires from them, never a complaint. 50 dollar steel wheels and 84 dollars for alloys in the winter. If you buy the tires and wheels they even mount and balance for free.

Thanks for the tirerack suggestion guys. But I was kinda hoping to get some at the salvage yard CHEAP. Thats why I was asking if there are any other vehicles that might have steel wheels that will fit my car. Maybe probe, contour, something like that.

Ones from a Probe, 626, etc should work, but are likely 15s not 16s.
