I assume you mean road wheels? I am also assuming the failure is on the rear wheel. If money is tight and you don't care if your wheels match, you probably only need to replace the rear - that's where all the drive forces are. Your local bike shop should have a replacement wheel in your budget.
If you want to replace both, there are some good options here that aren't terrible expensive:
