16" Wheels?? & Winter Tires FS

I just discovered that the winter tires from my now gone 98.5 A4, on 15"
wheels, will not fit over the front calipers on my new 2002 A4 3.0.  I was
fooled by the fact that all A41.8Ts come with 15" wheels as standard issue,
however the front rotors on the 3.0 are significantly bigger than those on
the 1.8T.

So, are there any 16" steel wheels available that will fill the
bill?  Preferably old ones that I might be able to pick up used from an
auto recycler.  $$$ are somewhat of a concern, since I had not planned on
the expense of a new set of winter tires when buying the new car.  Or, am I
looking at trying to find 16" alloys??

Finally, any one interested in buying a set of 4 Michelin X M+S330, 195/65
R15 tires, on 15" Audi rims with Audi wheel covers.  Used 3 winters,
probably ~15,000 km, plenty of tread remaining.
Price: $Cdn300 (~$US200) + shipping.
