and nice looking rims?
Looking for about 17'' or 18''

Nowadays I think those sizes are more expensive than the 20s and 22s cuz the demand for them is not as high the big wheels.

Define "Good"
Define "Cheap"

Generally these two terms are directly proportional. As with most things, the better the quality the more it costs. So what I think you are after is the best "Value". Which is that rare confluence of adequate quality and moderate cost. If you want brand recognition and street cred. then you're gonna have to throw down the duckets to be a playa.

If your lookin' for something in the $500 dollar area- used will be your best bet. Check Craigslist and Swap Meets.

If around $1000 is your target check with Centerline- they have some closeout deals that are pretty sweet.

If $1500 + is your budget.....you have lots of choices.

Coys sells a nice wheel for fair money!

Remeber the rims may be only $100-$250x4.
But the tires that compliment them are an additional $110-$300x4.

best bet look at rims online then go pick them out at a tire place for quality assurance.
100s of companies to list.
GOOGLE it.

I would recommend talking to my good buddy Greg Giger at Giger's Street Rods and Sport Trucks; in Emporia, Kansas (620-342-6293). He is a Wheeler Dealer from the get go--everything from stereo equipment to air bag systems. He may have what you want sitting used on his floor and maybe even a new set is in your future. I just purchased a full set of Billet Specialties 17 X 8 rims with Nitto tires from him for around $1800.00 mounted balanced and ready to put on the truck. I hope I didn't upset the process here.

According to the provided link- they run from a buck seventy-five to nine hunny each, depending on the size and finish.

Check out Cragar - they have chromed steel, and others, fairly reasonable. Jegs sells most of them for a decent price.

you can find C5wheels all day long on Ebay. or once in a blue moon on places like craigslist for a pretty fair price. its just getting new tires after that caus ethe corvette tires are pretty thin.
