Default Cheap alloy wheels

I know I know I could hit the search button and find thread after thread. Now that I got that out of the way, I will tell you I did search. I found the thread talking about the 15" mb 72's being a bargain. So my question is would they be my best bet? I like the looks of them but is there something else? And I need 17" rims. I have 33x12.5r17 tires. And what back spacing would work? I also want it to fit on the stock tire carrier. I know I'm asking a lot but would someone mind giving me a link to whatever I need so I don't spend $$$$ on something that doesn't work.

Here's your best bet. Go to 4Wheel Parts website and search their wheels. You can narrow the search field down to your 5x5 inch bolt pattern, 17 inch diameter, alloy wheels and view them by price from lowest to highest.You can even narrow them down by finish (blk, chrome, etch). I'm not pushing 4Wheel Parts as they have a mixxed reputation. But here's the deal, they are a huge chain and will give you a good idea on price. If you can find the same wheel somewhere else and it's cheaper, you found a good deal. If you find it somewhere for more money, you know you are being overcharged.
As for specs, I'd go with a 17x9 with 4.5 inches of backspacing (or close).

No problem. Pro Comp has some nice choices for not a lot of money.

Check out the Pro Comp 7031's. They are black with stainless rivots and look awesome. Best of all they are reasonably priced.

I'm looking at the procomp 7089 wheels. My question is will a 17x9 with 4.75 back spacing work? It has a -6mm offset.

Yes, 4.75 inches of BS will work fine.
