I had a Grant GT in my car and hated it, so I went back to a stock TC wheel. I'm not really feeling that bottom one, either - it just screams "Made in China for white guys that think their puppiesanese cars aren't quite Asian enough". The Mustang wheel... well, it's a Mustang wheel. The best looking of the three you posted, though, and it's the only one that would let you keep your cruise.

Why the $20 range?  Isn't a new wheel going to cost way more than that?

I love the style of a stock wheel.  All aftermarket wheels are to bulky.  I like the slim design of an a-frame wheel.

Im not buying new, these are some used ones i found close to me. The one in the bottom pic is a friends and he was thinking of selling it to me for $25. It doesn't look as good now and has many scratches. The others i can find all day at my local jy from $5-$30 range.
