thank you for contributing to your own question. as corny as it sounds, it seems like we are all learning from each other. Damn that stings, I can't believe i said that. anyway, maybe you can find a set of used forged rims on ebay or craigslist. I know I'd take a pair if they were cheap enough! make sure they will fit your vehicle. there are a lot of variables to consider, like offset. Check out tire racks take on this:
