Find a guy near you who can straighten them and then run 'em into the ground.

Came here to say this - there are three or four sets of style 57s on craigslist locally for a song. I bought a second set for winter tires a couple years ago, I overpaid I think $150 with used tires on them. The quality of OEM wheels is so much better than aftermarket and especially cheap steelies too. But I agree -- you do you sir. One thing to keep in mind is steelies usually weigh a lot, which will hurt acceleration compared to factory aluminum wheels.
I am actually looking at some style 131s (18") on craiglist locally. I wanted 17" for my winter tires but would like to upsize to the 18s for my summer tires. I agree the comfort is better on 17s, but for towing I'd like the shorter profile and wider contact patch in the summer.
