Talking Looking for some rims!

Hey yall!
Any indeas on some great offset rims?
Im looking for some :
15' small 5 lug off-set steal rims for my jeep.
Im not looking for anything fancy, just some nice rims that will get spray painted black... Im getting either some 31x10.50 or 32x11.50 tires in about a week, but I want to put them on some off set rims instead of the origional ones.

Any ideas, web-sites, info would be great!

Also CHEAP is a MUST!

Thanks!

Cragar Soft 8's will work fine. You can find them on eBay and Summit Racing, along with other sites.

Summit seems to have the best deal on basic steel wheels. You can get em for about $40.00 each, and they already come painted black.

What is the difference between Offset and Backspacing?

Basically the side of the wheel from which you take the measurement. Offset term used more by street racers. Backspacing used more by Off-road crowd, because they are more concerned with wheel rub, than how cool it looks.

offset is measured from the center of the rim you can have a + or - offset
back spacing is the distance from the back of the rim to the mounting surface
