Default where can I find sum cheap stock rims?

ok I went to the salvage yard today looking for steely's or stock rims... the 1st one said they didnt have ne. I went n looked threw their damn salave yard there's like 8 accords with steely's on em. they're to lazy to get off their *** to get them for me. So I was mad n I went to a salvage yard that was quiet a ways a way from the 1st one. the said yeah they have em they're $25 a piece with decent tires... they started driving us around this salvage yard not to the accord part but to a Geo prism with a doughnut on it.. Im like uhh that's a doughnut he's like yeah? Im like I need wheels so he takes me all around this salvage yard to look at other car's rims. He never took me past the accord section what so ever. So I went down there to the accord section myself n shure enough there they were... steely's!! is it so hard to go to the car you're talking about or take the time to help sum1? what the hell is wrong with these ppl? Im so annoyed with salvage yards... Sorry but ne way.... I really wanna get rid of these god awful rims that came on this car.. they're 17 in ganster 5spoke. They're ugly goddy things there's like a half an inch gap between each spoke. But any ideas? should I go back and tell these ppl I found sum rims on one of the accords and ask how much? or should I look around on the internet? I wanna get these rims off so I can sell them and put them towards my rota's I want. I jus want sum temporary wheels to work with.

all I can say is wow to your story as it's incredibly confusing and second either just look at the BST or buy the rotas and sell yours after you buy them or what ever. But if they are that "god awful" how much money do you plan on making on them? probably not enough to pay for new ones

1) keep yours and buy new ones then sell
2) sell yours, get steelies, buy new ones
3) buy stock wheels from BST or ebay or what not

If you're buying new ones why can't you live with the ones you have then sell them when you get the new ones? Why even bother with a third temporary set?

Just sell the wheels you have after you buy the Rotas if that is what you want.

no offence but.....are you too shy and girly to go tell the guys "hey i found the wheels im looking for can you get them for me'' (im assuming u cant get them yourselfs if they are still on the car and the car isnt jacked up etc) if they so no do it yourself, go to your house or a friends house get a damn jack and some stand and get them off yourself.

sorry about it being all confusing n stuff. But uhh a local rim's place called reeve's said they would give me 400 dollars store credit for both wheel's and tires. so since those are the only rims I have I need sum temporary rims to hold off til I can make up the difference. Im tryin to get sum rota slipstream wheels. Reeve's can order these for me n all I have to do is make up the difference. The one's I have arent even ricey... they look like massive hub caps.
