So yes steelies can be had for around $60 each if you look, and alloys can be had for around $120 if you look. While that is still double, that is a difference of $240 on a $30K vehicle to make it look good.
This is exactly why I've always bought nice aftermarket rims for my summer tires and left the stock rims for winter. It's quite a bit more than steelies, but that way my car looks normal in winter and extra nice in summer
