Default Cheap wheel tire combo for 911

I need to move my car out of the garage to install a lift, and I no longer have tires on my Fuchs.
Wondering if anyone has run into the same issue, and what you have temporarily put on the car to move it.
I'm thinking of a cheap set of steel wheels that would fit the car, and some used up tires from a tire shop.

Thanks

cookies are usually cheap.. phone dials as well.. or 4 "spares" could be found. The challenge with the Porsche is the 5x130 bolt pattern. Tires? whatever you can find. Heck, even tireless wheels on some dollies might work.

You can pick up a set of ragged Cup replicas for 300-400 dollars on the classifieds if you're lucky ...
I have a set with tires that i use for Winter storage when my car sits in the garage for the Winter months !

Cheers !

Steelies work fine. These were my old auto-x wheels/tires back in the '70's & '80's, now relegated to "roller" use when needed.

Wow, thanks Clive,
Just so happens I have to be in Kitchener this week, landing Tuesday, working Wednesday, and then heading to Hamilton on Thursday.
PM me your number bud.
