need new rims

Well i got a flat last night and tore my rims up now I need a new set. The only place I can see the tire leaking air is the valve stem. Wouldn't this be something the shop would be responsible for?

I have 17's right now 245/45/17's up front and 275/40/17's in the rear I would like to find a rim that will be same size as I have. Im trying to go cheap because I did not have this in the plan to get new rims yet I was just going to drive on these till I finished the engine and such.

Well since I saw this statement I would recommend Cragar Black Soft 8 Wheels. They are only $60 a wheel and come in 17x8 part number CRR-3978834 and 17x9 part number CRR-3978934. These are Summit Racing part numbers. They aren’t the best looking wheels but if they aren’t permanent I think these should suit your needs great.

Thanks for the idea's guys, I was about to order some 211's today at 177.50 a wheel for 17x9.5's from summit but I found out that I can get my wheel fixed for 120 and make it look brand new. So since im broke I think im just gona fix the one so I don't look getto going around with that aluminum spare tire, course i was gona get another one from the yard and use two as a set of skinnies.............. loll they look fine when on
