What size? offset? Pricerange? There are almost too many places to name to buy wheels.

Really Common sites
tirerack.com
discounttiredirect.com
wheelsboutique.com

The big sites tend to have good prices but can suffer if you are looking for something specific.
EX. I was looking for a 16x7 5x114.3 with a +38 or + 40 offset and the big guys don't seem to be that much help, or I haven't talked to the right people they always want an application.

Check your local online classifieds, buying from stores is usually more expensive.
I just picked up a set of mint SSRs with new tires last night for cheap and set of R-Compounds.
I usually watch racer forums and the regional adds on h-tech, just wait for a good deal to come up and be ready to jump on it.
A friend of mind might be looking to get rid of my old Volk CE-28s, 14" just over 6lbs, you can check them out on my build thread.
