Need steel rims for a 940 - help! 900 1993

Hello. Today I was driving my wife's 940 because it snowed and I prefer it to my S70 (both cars are running snows). Well, the snows on the 940 are on really old rusted out rims. The tires are also old, but stil very usable. I figured I could get through this winter on them. However, today one of the wheels let the air out on me and I did not notice until I felt it in the rear wheel. By that time it was too late the tire was chewed up beyond hope. I went to Tirerack figuring I'll just get one of their winter wheel packages earlier than I expected. Well, they are out of steel rims until next winter. Major bummer! I really don't feel like paying dealer prices for Volvo rims. The other 3 rims also need replacement and I wanted to replace the whole set. Does anyone know wher I can get steel wheels for this car at a reasonable price? Hopefully with winter tires mounted and balanced. Tirerack is usually my source since they do a pretty good job of mounting and balancing and if they have what you want it usually comes out cheaper than anywhere else. The Blizzaks they have would work fine I think, though what is on the car now are Nord Frosts. I will call the dealer tomorrow, but I doubt they will have what I need in stock. This brings me to another question. Does anyone know if FWD rims and RWD (940 in particular) are interchangeble? They are both 5 bolts and have a locating pin, but I have not tried interchangin them.

Thanks a lot in advance!
