Need Cheap Wheels!!

Remember that $100 set of wheels from NTB? I'm kicking myself for not buying a set when i had the chance.. does anyone know of any similar sort of deal going on? I need to find a second set of wheels so that i can have a crappy set of autocross tires... any advice?

Try steel wheels (about $45 each from www.tires.com). Cheap, ugly, and probably weigh about the same as or less than cheap alloys would.

Cost a little more than $100 per set, but you know what they say - you snooze, you lose.
