Default I need some new wheel help/advice

What's the best way to get some cheap, decent wheels? I'm not in the market to get "real" wheels...I honestly see no point in having wheels that seemingly out-value my car, and I don't have money like that. I've looked around here, craigslist, carolina hondas, and e-bay. Any other suggestions on a really cheap set of good condition wheels?
Thanks

Oh, yeah, it's a stock ass 94 honda del sol. 240 was stolen a while back, like last november.

Fresh coat of paint on the steelies. Really Cheap. Can't beat them for daily driven performance. Easy to maintain. And there all over the place if you need to replace.

craigslist will still be your best option. use www.crazedlist.org to search many locations at once to increase your range.

preferably, i'd like not to spend a whole lot more than maybe $100-$400 for a set, with/without tires. maybe even less, if possible.

well Good-Win-Racing has several sub $100 Konig wheels, they're a Miata site, but generally anything wheel wise will fit a Civic - same bolt pattern, offsets are close as well
http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...es/Wheels.html



although for $130 a wheel you could get either the Team Dynamics or 949 Racing's 15x7 6UL's
might be worth saving up for as both are very light and very strong

so you can also watch some of the Miata forums for sale section as well

I second the team dynamic idea. Best bang for your buck deal. What is the bolt pattern and offset of your car?

yeah that would help to know, I assumed civic but looks like he's got a 240sx
depending on if its 4 or 5 lug bolt pattern and size I have other place he can check

Craigslist - check every day, stuff will pop up. I've bought 4 sets of wheels there in the last 2 years.
