Shop around, lots of decent rims to be had depending on your budget
Costco.ca
Blackcircles.ca
1010tires.com
PMCtire.com
etc.
not to mention all the local shops.
Sure alloys are "more expensive" but its not a crazy difference and worth the money regardless of your income level. A standard steelie is ~100$ right now, and alloys generally start at $130-140 range (I picked a random common size to lookup). On a % basis, sure, a big premium, but that $30 more is nothing considering what you're getting for your money. Steelies look like garbage, age terribly, and will need to be replaced much sooner than alloys.
