You might keep an eye out on eBay. I bought a set of four Libre wheels in great
shape with lug nuts on eBay last year for under $300. I have them on the car
now
and they look great! Now all I have to do is finish putting the engine in. I
have seen several sets on there since then. Here is a link to a current auction
that has a set of 4, but only two are the correct size - note that most people
do
not know the correct name for these wheels so you have to do some creative
searching.
