$100-120 a wheel or total? Because the latter will SEVERELY limit your choices.

Even Cragars will run you 40/wheel + shipping. And that''''s no chrome cap, no chrome lugs......and then you still have Cragars...

What kind of style are you looking for, some big rims and lo-pro''s or some good offroading style rims. Im assuming sence you have a 4wd and a limited budget your going with the more offroadier style rims. In that case I would have to say check out american racing, cragar and weld racing rims.

Wouldnt that be breaking your budget for 1060?

well, long story, what the folks said is that since i need new tires why not just put them on when i get new rims. they want me to find a rim thats about 100 a piece. but im still not quite sure i like the rim. dont want steel, but would like to find a rim i can still get muddy.
