LOL! It seems like everyone does....

Do you have a specific style in mind? That is an extremely broad all-encompassing query.

here are some of the cheapest ones you can get

the chrome mod Is actually one of my favorite wheels the ones with the holes around the wheel

the wheels on the blue truck and the blazer are the same set of wheels

and yes cragar is a good wheel they have been around since the 60's maybe earlier not sure

If you are not stuck on chrome I would get polished aluminum. Chrome wheels can rust over time and lose their shine. Polished wheels will also dull, but you can polish them back to a shine.

I love wheels with a classic look, nothing too wild, but thats me. I just put polished wheels on mine around 2 months ago. Mine are 16", but I believe they make my style in 15" as well.

SO I GRAB MY BEST FRIEND AND MY BROTHER AND WE DRIVE OUT TO BFE SUBURB OF ATLANTA AND LOW AND BEHOLD A METH/CRACK ADDICT.. HE TOOK $50 ON THE SPOT. SOME RUST BUT DAMN GOOD WHEELS. SMH I FELT BAD BUT HELL ITS HIS LOSS. MAKE IT SO BAD THE GUY HAD ATLEAST 3 G-BODIES, AND 4 SQUARE BODY TRUCKS AND A WHOLE GARAGE FULL OF PERFORMANCE PARTS. WE EDED UP SCORIUNG A FLOOR JACK, HOLLY CARB, AND 4:10 GBODY REAR END FOR AN ADDITIONAL $100 BUCKS. TURNS OUT HE WAS A MECHANIC/TINKER WHO HAD HIT HARD TIMES. NO LOVE LOST I CAN STILL CALL HIM NOW AND ASK IF HE HAS CERTAIN PARTS LYING AROUND

To me it kinda depends if your putting them on a 4x4 or a 2 wheel drive.
Personally, I like the pro comp soft 8's for a 4 wheel drive. Deep dished of course. As far as the 2 wheel drive, I would splurge and get some old style crager SS's. Those are the smoothest looking wheels for a slightly lowered or slammed square body in my opinion. Then again, I might be showing my age a little. To me it's all about the wheels. They make the vehicle!

I would go with polished aluminum...Chrome comes off of steel wheels eventually, no matter what brand. I had ARE Chrome nuggets, replaced 1 because the chrome was coming off, then the other 3 followed 6 months later.
