Default About Stock/Spare Steelies

So lets say I can get these from a junk yard for 10$ each. How will they look? Same as nato?

I bought the solid lug nuts like the ones used on earlier Range Rovers, no chrome caps to mess up and deal with.

Love black steelies. It was recommended to me to run an aftermarket steel wheel with back spacing to push the wheel out a bit.

I am going with a Gulf Coast NATO style wheel with 235/85-16's. I have a set of 15" Gulf Coast steelies for sale for cheap ($200 for 5) if you want to go that direction.

I've been looking for some spare steelies so I can mount studded tires on to be able to switch them out when winter hits. I've had zero luck. One junkyard has some regular rims but he only has three and he wants $150 a piece for them. This is the part that sucks about living in Alaska. No good junkyards and shipping is way exspensive for the heavier parts.
