Default Rubicon Wheels

I'm wanting the "Dark Gray" colored 17in rims off the Moutain or Call Of Duty Jeep to make my 2011 all subdued. What should I expect to pay for a set of four new rims vs used? Or could you recommend a good alloy aftermarket with the same look quality? Tires are LT285-70-17's. Thanks for any opinions and recommendations.....

I found a guy (on this forum) looking to sell his ME wheels/tires with 5k miles on them for $1k... Only problem is that he was in Daytona, and I'm in Atlanta... I then found a set of Rubicon wheels/tires for $800 in town here, so i went with them. So that's about what you can expect to pay for them... at least that's the best I've found in the past 6 months or so...

Although, there is a good post somewhere on here about painting wheels to look like the ME wheels... I'll see if i can find it.

edit: Duplicolor makes a wheel paint called graphite grey which is very similar.
