Default Looking for *cheap* 16 inch wheels (winter use)

I want to find the cheapest set of 16 inch wheels I can, simply for winter use. I'd prefer to find some that fit the car properly (or as close as possible). They don't need to be staggered, but I'll be running 225/50/16 Toyo Garit HT's in the rear.

I was going to buy my buddies RSX wheels but when we test fit them, they don't sit properly at all, not a very good offset.

Like I said, as cheap as possible. Hell, if someone has stock S2K wheels that aren't in perfect shape (as long as they're not bent), I'd consider them.

No I have them in the front too. Actually if you need a set of front Garit HT's I have an extra pair. I had 205/55/16 Garit HT's on my RSX-S for 1,500 miles before I got the S2000... so I have a pair thats practically brand new.

Otherwise they're about $110 for fronts, $140 for rears (per tire)... I'm looking to get $125 + shipping for 'em (the pair of fronts, 205/55/16).

I used my stock rims for last winter, but I hate the abuse they take. Actually I was thinking some Motegi MR7's... they look good and they're only like $125 per rim... still a bit more than I'd like to spend though.

Ended up buying a set of RSX Type S wheels from a friend (we get gunmetal ones in Canada)... test fitted them last night and they fit fine, the offset isn't that far off... and they actually look better than the stock wheels!

I have 16" wheels starting at 109.00 per wheel for the snows.
If you purchase the wheels and tires they will be mounted and balanced and ready to go on the car.
If I can help let me know.
