Default cheapest 17" wheel

I want a set of cheap 17" wheels for offroading and winter driving. I love the look of the Stockton wheels, but too spendy for what I want them for.

What is the cheapest 17" wheel that will look good and not corrode from this magnesium chloride they spray on our streets in the winter? I really dont like the look of the white or black wagon wheels, also.

Thanks, I think Ive decided on these. I think the silver will be easy to touch up and sort of match my Rubicon and JK stickers since they are silver.

For those of you with the Crager wheels, what is the weight of the wheel you have?

Size..... Weight.....

I like the wheels but want to keep the weight of the wheels a low as possible.

thanks,
