Default Racing wheel recommendation

Ok, I'm primarily a autocrosser, so I'm looking to get an extra set of wheels to mount a set of tires to for autocross events. I'm looking for something that will at least fit a set of 275/40/17's on them. My running idea is to just pick up a used set of the stock SS 10 spoke rims for probably around $300 or so. I'd like to see if there are any other lighterweight options for rims out there than these, or any other inexpensive rims that would allow me to fit a wider tire in the back. Any ideas of a wheel that I can get cheaply in two widths, to fit a 275 in the front and maybe a 315 out back? I don't want to significantly increase my cost for the rim just get to get a larger one out back, so I'm looking for other cheap/used rims that I could find.

ZR1's are about your only "cheap" 9" front and 11" rear combo, next is the TT2, but they are both heavy and would not be the best for autocross . . .

As for a nice race wheel the CCW Classics are good.

Yes, they are the "weapon of choice" for auto x/ road race, but fairly $$$, even used.
