Steel Rims for drift practice

A friend has convinced me to go to the drift practices at calder park in a couple of weeks (wednesday night, ~5:30ish I think). Sounds like it will at least be a laugh..
I don't want to trash my tyres (or rims if the tyres blow out) so I was thinking of getting some steel rims with tyres on them from the wreckers.
What I want to know is if anybody has an idea what cars would be a good prospect for obtaining wheels that will have an appropriate bolt pattern and an offset that will at least allow the wheels to fit without fouling on the body/struts. I'm not planning on driving on the road with the wheels so an exact offset match is probably not so critical.

Also, if there are any others out there who are into the night, I might see them there..


Cheers,
Duncan

old corrollas/pintara's. Pic a part sell the rims for $3 each (steel) and tires for $5-$30 depending on tread
