VX wheels. 13x5, put on some 155/80, run the max PSI. If not those just get 13x5 OEM steelies, although they're heavier.

If you are looking for weight savings and less rolling resistance then you are not going to find a cheap skinny. Bogart and Weld Racing make skinnies that weigh under 5lbs each. However some of these rims can cost up to $300 each. Don't know where to find cheap skinnies.

Theres no such thing as a cheap skinnie. You can use stock steelies but theres not much weight savings. Look for some used welds or bogarts, thats the only way your going to find skinnies below $500 with tires.
