Umm super cheap knobs  are about $50 I think..but they aren't really anything special.
Know anyone with a lathe? Maybe you could try making your own?
Cheers

katsuchiyo: shift boot is the material around the gear stick
my car is 16 years old so the factory material is absolutly craped out with holes and shit in it

I was going to suggest that place in the Castle towers (Autojoy) or Parklea markets, they too have a good range that is around the $35 - $50 mark....

just go down to a wreckers yard and look for smached ricer cars - plenty o knobs there! they would probably have an extra 3 for " effect "
best bet would be any of the autobarn/autopro/supercheap type places ..
i picked up a knob for my ta22 - leather with chrome base for 50 dollars at Autopro .. did the job and was comfy to thy hand
