Default Cheap wheels

I was looking for a new set of wheels to mount my winter tires onto. I dont want to break the bank, but i dont want steel wheels. After winter these will be my offroading wheels. I got another set of wheels for summer because theyre just light truck tires, not all terain. Any good links for some 15's? Used or not, as long as theyre not bent. Thanks guys!

Steel is the only way to go. Why ruin aluminum in snow and salt?

Be patient...cl always produces something sooner or later. 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern - many vehicles use this.

If you want aluminum for wheeling and not because they're pretty power wash them then spray with WD 40 while still wet and do it weekly all winter and they will be OK. For wheeling in snow aluminum rims hold the bead better than steel unless your running bead locks or Interairlocks. IMO ( That is why most people that wheel their rigs buy aluminum rims. )
