Default Cheap Wheels?

I just put new tires on the car I just picked up. It turns out one of the wheels(rim) is cracked in 3 places and now leaks flat overnight. How the old tires held air before I don't know. But it is what it is. Anyways, as i just spent money on tires leaving me very little for wheels, does anyone have a source for cheap wheels. I'm not looking for fancy "bling" rims or anything. I've always been a fan of black boring steel ones anyways. The subdued don't look at me style. I can always plasti-dip them too. I just can't find any for less than a 100+ bucks each. I'm not normally cheap but I saved for tires, not both. It's our daily driver so i need them now or I would just save up again. Any ideas?

Also, currently running 225/40R18 tires on 18x8 wheels no offset markings. Would a 18x8.5 work on stock suspension?

Thanks a bunch y'all

Honestly, the best and only place to grab some cheap rims/wheels is Craigslist.

Craig's even beats out eBay as there are no shipping/eBay or PayPal charges. You pick up locally and only pay for the item and the cost of gas it takes for you to drive to the person that has, whatever it is for sale.

Jump on Craigslist and search in your area for cheap rims. Let us know if you find something by posting it here for advice and feedback.

Thanks Morpheous. I'll give it a look. I actually found the car on craigslist.lol

I'm hoping someone jumps in here and lets me know if I have any options in rim size other than 18x8 with 225/40r18 on stock suspension. I also don't know what offset to look for since my current wheels are not marked.

Thanks again
