Default Cheapest wheels for H3?

What are the cheapest wheels that fit the H3?

Thinking I would want a second set of off-road only tires to use for those kinds of trips.

Would like jsut some generic black steel wagon wheels but I don't see any for sale anymore.

I used to get the cheap wagon wheels for my mud tires many moons ago. I don't want thsoe ugly aluminum wheels all the rage today.

Cheapest and Hummer is a oxymoron.
All the people with the OEM wheels may feel you think their wheels are ugly by that statement.
Those aluminum wheels are really nice light wheels and the proper backspace and iconic Hummer gear.
Used ones can be found for a good price from people that also decided to go with something else. I have noticed a trend of the price going up as availability goes down.

Picked out a set I liked at Discount tire - told him if he could get to $500 for 5 wheels out the door (including taxes, swapping my tires over, mount balance, etc) and if they solved my rubbing issue without sticking out too far I'd buy them. He came up with $500.55 out the door for all 5. Unfortunately with 315s they stick out just far enough I'd get hassled during safety inspection and possibly pulled over by the po-po so I decided to hold off until I have some kind of fender flare.

In any event, $100 each including mounting tires isn't bad. These are the ones I picked out: Look for MB Wheels TKO custom wheels by size - Discount Tire/America's Tire

The generic looking black steel wheels you are thinking of are probably AR767s - the same wheel I used to put on my Jeeps back in the day. IIRC, they even called the white version "wagon wheels". Unfortunately, as it was explained to me, due to the rising price of steel and rising cost of wheels in general, those are no longer any cheaper than something like I posted above. Too bad, I remember buying them for under $50 each about 10 years ago.

There is a set of 4 stock wheels on Craigslist for 25.00 each, 100 for the set, for that money you could beat me up and not worry. Picture of them looks clean

If a set of Colorado wheels will work that might be another option
