    I'd think you could get a decent looking set of them at a junkyard for pretty cheap. I've seen a few sets locally on craigslist at 100-200 bucks, sometimes with tires.

    Bought my torques with tires for $120. Not common to find a full set at the pick n pull where I'm from so good luck. My friend is buying a set with tires on them for $100, so they are out there, just takes a little looking
