I think the steel wheels look good. I prefer the ralley wheels myself. Having been around in the "old" days, I found that most of the performance guys went with the steel rims. They would not pay extra for any of the factory rims because they ended up putting on Cragars, Keystones, etc. and getting rid of the steel ones.

Your assumption has to be true. Back in the day, I can't recall seeing a set of body color matching steel wheels on a car ... EVER. I didn't even know they came that way until OEM restorations became common in the more recent past. One can only imagine the sheer number of OEM steel wheels that got tossed for a set of aftermarket wheels back then.
