i want 15x10 wheel's in the rear but i can't really find any that will look good. i don't want them to be expensive. like under $200. i am just having no luck finding a wheel that has 5.5 inches of back space and eather doesn't cost a fortune or dosent look butt ugly. so please give me your suggestions and where i could find them if you can.
thank you

It all depends on your taste I suppose. Weld Draglites 15x10 with 5,5" backspace are around 165 each. once you start getting into the bigger sizes, you either get cheap and ugly, or pretty and pricey. Maybe try looking at swap meets, sometimes you can find good deals on wheels there.

Ya good luck finding 15x10's with 5.5" backspacing, I think our cars are pretty much the only ones that needed that combo.
I looked and looked, ended up buying new. Sure it cost a lot (each mag was about $200usd) but damn they look good. I have the 15x10's out back too.

15x10 5.5" b.s. -- $63 from summit, just tell them you need 5.5" of backspacing, they will special order them at no extra cost, takes about 2 weeks.
BTW - They are U.S. Wheel series 37. The fronts are 15x7 with 3.75" backspacing.
