Cheap but quality wheels???

I have a 99 F150 4x4. Right now im just running 33"s with no lift, but next month i am adding a 6"suspension lift and want to get some 35"tires and preferably 16"x10" wheels, also my bolt pattern is 5 on 135 with a 4.5"backspacing. I want some quality wheels, but for a good price. If anyone has any ideas of where i can find some that would be great. I have been looking around and the cheapest i have found 4 wheels for is round 460$. Also if anyone knows of a 6"suspension lift for my truck for under 1600$ please let me know. Thanks

For price/quality, Eagle Alloy is hard to beat. Their website is www.americaneaglewheel.com

The 5 inch RCD and 6 inch Fabtech seem to be the best lifts for our trucks.

Go on e-bay they sell them for around 350-450 for all 4 wheels just do a search for 16x10 american eagle and you will find many. If you don't see what you like than send them a message and they can get what ever you want. It's gong to be cheaper than a local shop.

Are they aluminum or chrome? How much upkeep is required?

Do they require constant upkeep? Although they look nice at first don't they take a beating from brake dust and lose their shine?

Thats right...Ebay has great deals from time to time. Be smart though and read feedback on everything you buy. I got screwed on tires before from some punk in Akron Ohio. But that was the only time ive had a bad experience on Ebay.
Anyway I bought my 18 in.Eagle Alloy 187s for $380 shipped. They were blems but only had a tiny mark on one wheel that you have to really look for it to notice.
