Hey all, economy got me too but I still need to get some better rims (stockers are rubbing like sin on my LCAs.). I need to find the cheapest steelies available shipped to my door. I live in a small Wyoming town so craigslist is not an option (been checking for 8 months) and any local shop charges over $75 for Cragar knockoffs.

Where should I look?
I'm thinking 15x8s with 3.75" or so of backspacing. Black steelies are preferred.

Thanks,
s

D windows are slightly cheaper but these look better.

Not sure if this site offers free shipping.. ? If so that is a heck of a deal. I know discounttiredirect.com has free shipping so you might want to check that out also..

Lies. Soft 8's are the forum favorite but I love my D windows. You can try summit. They are pretty cheap.

just under $52 (including tax) at discount tire for soft 8's (they are labeled as unique 297's (i just looked at my receipt)) should be free shipping to store within a few days

If you call Rough Country, they can get you black d windows for $35-ish. I got them for something around $40 a piece shipped.

Thanks for the responses guys. I really to appreciate it. While digging through this, I've begun asking about the size wheel I need. Current plans are for a 15x8 with 3.5-4" of backspacing to clear the LCAs and in Wyoming I don't need to worry about flare coverage (many Wranglers run full width on the street!) so I don't care if they stick out a bit (preferred actually). I guess the question is about the wheel width. My inclination is to get the 8" since I may eventually try to sneak 32's or even 33's underneath. What differences can I expect from a 7 to 8" width wheel?

thanks,

31s will fit on 15X7s. Get stock steel rims. scratch them up, rubbing alcohol and paint.

I am currently sitting on steel stock rims that I've sanded, primed, and painted. Sure they look fine, but as I stated on the original post, they rub my LCAs with the 31s on full lock.

Thanks anyway,

If your looking to go real cheap get some wheel spacers. Just a thought if your looking for cheapness.

Aren't wheel spacers about $100 a pair? If so, they are on par with new wheel prices, plus with the wheels I have an extra set of stock rims in case I need to run 2 sets of tires (mud boggers with aggressive lugs and winter tires that perform much better on ice).
