I am running ProComp Series 97 steel wheels. I got them for 70 each, which is a hard price to beat for a 16x8 wheel.

If you are going to run 15's, be aware you may have to grind down your front calipers a bit, as some wheels WILL rub (my 16's come very close).

As for tires, there are LOTS of options. Check out discount tire and tire rack. I have had great luck with tire rack and have always gotten free ground (actually over night because of my location) shipping. Plus no tax
