Cheap 17" Rims

I'd like to get some 17" rims for the '7, but im kind of tight on cash. What sort of rims could i pick up from a junkyard that would fit an 87 N/A base? Mustang rims seem to be common, but what else is there? Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

Out of curiosity, what's your budget look like? I might be selling a set of 17x8 wheels with tires if there's any interest...

ebay sells a lot of knock off rims for cheap-ish ($500-600). you really should consider the 5 lug swap though because you can get bigger brakes (4 pots!) and have plenty more wheel options like the mustang wheels that were mentioned.

These are the wheels: AEZ 17x8 +40 with Capitol Negotiator NH700 tires, 215/40/17 H-rated. But you have 4 lug.....these are 5 lug....in which case you'd have to convert....crap

Sport max racing!!! hella cheap rims but they look nice. The 962 and 050's are actually really good looking rims. I ha a set of 962's in gunmetal with polished lip. 17x8 all around on my s14. I paid $700 Brand new w/ tires balanced and installed.
