I've noticed that sites like the SCCA forums often have very good deals on used 15" light wheels in 4x100 with 50% tread sticky tires.

Are there any other good sites that come to mind when looking for wheels to the tune of the above? Yes I am in the market, and yes I am cheap. I don't even care if they look good. (This is for an 89 Si)

In the past I've bought wheels from people on Zilvia.net and Club4ag.com. If you're looking for small wheels, people often sell used sportmax (now known as XXR) wheels in 15" or 16" with universal 4 lug patterns for around $250-$300. I see them up all the time.

I didn't find any in that "ridiculously cheap" category. Everything I saw there was over $1100 a set.

it just depends on what they have in stock, what condition it is in, how desireable it is... you have to look around. Its not set up to browse very easily. I've seen staggered 17x8/17x9 impul silhouettes (my favorite wheels EVER) in dual 144.3 4 and 5 lug go for under $400 for four. thats smokin cheap.

They usually have lots of lightweight smaller wheels (15, 16) that are beat up, for pretty cheap. Also check the section for wheels they dont have a full set of 4 on. Lots of good deals there usually too.

SCCA forums for auto-x/roadracing tires. Craigslist for drag slicks.

The lesson in all this is, choose your words carefully, motherberkeleyers.
