Default 13" rim options?

So i want to get a set of 22x8x13 m and h tires. But first i want to find a set of rims. I really dont want to spend alot on the rims. Im not concerned about them being super light weight. I know of the lenso's but for $600 for a set is kinda outta my price range. I was thinking maybe i could find some miata rims or something like that. I know i need a 13x7 with a 4/100 pattern but what offset can i get away with?

lenso's are not that expensive

contact Exospeed for a Lenso Quote -- you are in the $330-350 range i believe on those

there is another new 13x8 being offered by by a couple of companies too, the V2 Drag Wheel i believe it is called currently i believe in the $330-350 range

and i can sell you welds -- weld magnum imports are in the $600+ though

Spin Werks also makes a 13x8 and they weigh less than 7lbs a piece.

Slicks are going to cost you at right under $300 or so with shipping. So $600 or so for wheels and slicks arent that bad. The cheapest wheels out there are probably some of those 13" steelies that are 13x8. I think they are about $60-70 each but in the end, you're only a couple hundred dollars from a better wheel combo. Might as well get a real drag wheel that actually look good and you can sell to other racers later on. The Lenso's even have skinnies to match if you want to get that later on.
The Welds are cool too but you're on a budget so that really puts you out of that price range.

I was looking at diamond racing wheels but have since decided on lensos as the price is fairly close.

Bisi's price is for one wheel, just checked again as I was in awe still. It's still a good price at 440 for the wheel but it's 220 a piece.
