Default Looking for new wheels

I lost the platic caps to my wheels, and I am looking to find either new caps or new wheels all together. I don't know where to look. Wal*mart only had cheap looking caps. I found a bochure from a local garage with wheels but no prices or any good lookin rims. I have been googling my ass off looking for rims. But they are kind of confusing. Also I have drum brakes in the rear. Would it look funny if you can see them thru the rims?

B-ran - you have a few choices on your problem.
1) if you would like to keep your stock steelies and want to get the wheel covers then you can find them on google.
2) if you want to change your wheels from OEM steels to aftermarket rims, then I would suggest checking out: The Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels
I seriously doubt you're going to find a better deal than tirerack (NEW).
If you don't mind used rims, then I would really suggest checking out: craigslist: san francisco bay area classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events (look up your city and it will listed under "Auto Parts")
3) If you do go with #2 and are worried about the drums in the back, there are kits out on the market that you can purchase that will change from OEM drums to aftermarket rotors. Check out eBay for rotors, they have them for your year.

Hope that helps, good luck!
