where to get wheels

Where would be the best place you have found to get a set of chrome wagon wheels 16x10 at a decent price for a 1997 F-250? Everywhere Ive looked I can throw in $50-100 extra and get a set of aluminum wheels.

I would go no more than 10"

Although the wider you go the more stress that is on your steering. Why not go 8" and if you are replacing current rims why not get something that will last?

It's a waste of money to get something that may rust to bits over a few years.

I will only deal with discounttiredirect.com They are very helpful and have the best customer service over summit. I got a rim with a minor blemish and my OCD got the best of me causing me to want a new one. They paid shipping to send it back and sent me a new one free of charge. I have a number to a guy that will get you a great deal as well.

Here's a link to rims:
