cheap and 18 don't go together a cheap wheel is probably going to be low quality, and with the small sidewall you have with a wheel that big that is a bad thing (one pothole and the wheel may crack)

Besides the obvious places such as Ebay and Swap sheets/other forums, I would say you would be doing good to get brand new quality rims that big for under $850. Then figure another $600 for quality tires and you get the idea.

I do NOT recommend buying Sumitomo or Kuhmo tires or other such off brands. The tires wear out twice as fast and don't handle anywhere near as well as a good set. My advice- save your dough and buy some quality stuff- you won't be sorry you did.

Kumho and Sumitomo being "off brands" ? My Kumho Ecstas ASX have a 36000 some garauntee on them.. Not only that, but they're 100x better than my goodyear eagles I had.

a gaurantee does not make a good tire (36000 miles sucks anyway) and anything is better than goodyears

if you want really cheap one of your best options is Vette wheels. On eBay, the C5 17s are usually under $400. 18/17 sets usually start for under $500. Ebay also has some HP EVOs in Hyperdark for under $600. There's also these for $350: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43958 .
