I have boring steel wheels with wheel covers, and I can't afford to put alot of money into my car, but I'd like something nicer.
Maybe some stock aluminum contour wheels or something like that. How cheap are cheap rims gonna be? Thanks

couple of hundred for a set of svt wheels. you can also pic up a set of 15" or 16" Focus stockies for a couple hundred as well. with new tires too probably.

Ebay, CEG Classifieds, NECO classifieds as Cougar wheels fit and you can always head over to Coal Jet if you want some Foci wheels.
Foci 15" takeoffs with tires are around $500 shipped brand new

Sweet, thanks for the info.
So all contour have the same stud pattern, and focus's and cougars? That's pretty handy.

REV makes a wheel called the model IV that is around 16lbs a piece. I can usually pick up a set of wheels only for about $369.00 the set. It's available in 3-4 finishes and not bad for a featherweighter...

Nice, I like it!  How easily do rims like that bend or get damaged. The roads around here are lousy.
I definately like it though, i'll have to see if it's in the budget, or if I can only afford really cheap rims

Just make sure to use a 215/45/17 tire on that baby and you should be fine
