Default Help in finding some rims.

Currently I've got 15x4" and 15x8" Weld Draglites on my car. The passenger side rear rim is out of round so I'd like to replace all of em' with something more "Road Worthy" if ya' know what I mean. I love the look but Draglites leave a lot to be desired for a Daily Driver. I'm running a 165r15 on the front of the car and 245/60/15's on the rear. I've seen the Summit "Sport" rims that look a lot like the Draglites but I'd kind of like something different to make the car look less like what I bought from the jerk that sold it to me(long story, PM me for details if you must) and more like "MY" car. Something in a Gunmetal gray or even a black with chrome rim would look nice. Problem is getting em' in the right off-set and in a 4x4 1/4 bolt center. If anyone has any ideas on something that'd not be too expensive(looking at probably $400 total for a set of 4) post some links for me. Thanks.

What kind of look you going for? Drag? Road? Street cruiser?

I've had Draglites on mine since 1992.

I like the Drag look with the skinnies on the front. I guess a couple of the Summit "Sport" rims for $125 each for the rear would be ok since they look just like the Draglites that are on it now. I've seen some MS rims(IIRC that's the brand name) going for anywhere from $75 to $100 each new, that'd be in teh $400 ball park for a set of 4. Don't want anything fancy or "Ricer", just something that looks decent and will hold the tire.

Those wheels should work fine, even on a daily driver.
