Default Rims

I am looking for some suggestions on rims. I am a broke college student so I want something cheap. I do not do a lot of wheeling and am mainly going for looks with these rims. I am looking for 16's thanks!

Being that you are broke, i must question why you want new wheels, especially 16s.

16" wheels are generally more expensive and 16" tires are generally more expensive as well, compared to 15s.

But the cheapest wheel you can get new is probably the jegs or summit racing brand copy of the cragar soft 8.

I would hold onto your money until you find a good deal on a used set you like.

A lift doesn't require bigger wheels.

This is easy you can just get used tires on Craig'slist for what size you need or you can look for from wrangler,grand Cherokee and Cherokees from 84 -2006 look for a set of wrangler rims you might beavle to find a set of rims and tires from a wrangler for 400-500 depending... Stay away from 16s tires are a lot more money 15s are fine...

My mechanic told me it is impossible to find 31's for 15 inch rims... maybe he is wrong.
