Summit Racing has Cragar Rims for $48 a wheel. They come in all different sizes too. 15x7, 15x8, 15x10. They are steel wheels too.

you see, the taller the sidewall, the narrower the wheel can be. it only works to a certain extent, but in this case a 2.75" taper per side on a 9" wall is not that bad.
it will keep your tread quite even unless your vehicle is not properly aligned.

If it works fine, why have I always heard to go with a 8" rim for 12.50's - from 4x4 shops even that know they aren't getting my money? Just wondering.

you have a point man, and theres not argument that an 8'' rim is ideal, and in theory i can get why they might be a bad idea especially with the backspacing, but the op said he's broke and i get that too so with a budget in mind a 7'' rim will work, and like i said before when aired down it's known to old the bead really well almost like beadlocks.
