black steel rock crawlers are about the cheapest costing wheels out there... you can find them for as low as 60 bux each... in 16s they typically come in 16x8 4.25" or 4.5" backspace which should fit...

as for power, stick to stock size tires as upsizing your tires will hurt your MPG and HP...

Roll Me Over
Aluminum rims will make it accelerate faster, i'd rather do those than heavy steel wheels if youre looking for performance.
Is it 2wd or 4x4?
You can get a thorley header they are proven for a nice torque curve and great price from "lskustumz" on www.customtacos.com ... (he works for thorley)...

Getting the Wheeling Fever
Paint your factory rims flat black with a rattle can = cheap.
