Default Bent wheels call for new ones. any suggestions?

well, about 3 months ago i hit a pot hole and bent 2 of the wheels on my car, bad enough to the point where they dont really hold air anymore, so i swapped them out with some old wheels i had in the back shed, these are holding for now, but they are "restored" rims, and i know they are going to start giving in again in time (they kinda already are)

im on a pretty tight budget here, about $450 to $600 to be exact, i was thinking about buying rims off ebay, but people tell me the manfacturers on there arent very good and that they will bend easy. They recommend Volks, 5Ziggys, Rotas. etc. keep in mind, im not planning to do any racing or hardcore driving, just need to wheels on my DD so i can commute to work and school. any suggestions or recommendations?

Check Craigslist in nearby cities.

Factory steelies from your local junkyard. Shouldnt be more than 100 without tires for a set of four.

i already have tried both, i dont really trust craigslist around here, most of the wheels that are posted are in bad shape, and they try to lie to you about it. Junkers around here arent all that good either, the most i could find were 5 lug steelies.
