Thanks for the advice. I don't need rims until the end of the winter, I just am just keeping my eyes open for a good deal.
$4k is a bit more than what I was looking to spend, I am just looking to find something that may in the long run cost lest than mounting different tires twice a year for $60. In 3 years, $400 rims would be justified, but at $4k it would take 33 years to justify buying rims at $120 in mounting a year. I may spend that eventually but not right now.

Merry Christmas!!!

I could probably do $1100, it just depends what I find. And if anyone has any 17" Sport Classic's let me know, they're horrible to clean so I'll take them off your hands for a low price.

Why not another set of what you have - 17"twists. I see them come up for sale and usually run about $500 because no one really wants them. Just keep your eyes open. Also helps if you are a PCA member if you live in a more remote area. Rennlist, Pelican are other good places to find them.
