Default Ideas for cheap 17 " wheel for spare with 4.5" backspacing?

As the title says, anyone have any suggestions for what make/model of wheel to buy? I have 295/70/17 tires on wheels with 4.5" backspacing. I'm not looking to spend the money for a matching spare. I came across a used but good condition tire in the same size on CL. I would also like to get a cheap wheel for the spare. Any suggestions on where to look?

Those are a little over $70, plus shipping. I was looking at trying to get something in the $50 range. I wouldn't mind used but no one seems to be selling just one wheel. I guess I'll throw a thread in the wanted section.

Thx

Isn't the Desert Rat shop out that way? They probably have some cheap steel wheels that will suit your needs and then you could just go pick it up.
