Andy,
   Don't know what you want the wheels for but I bought them at first because
of the price.  After using them for autocrossing I would tell anyone to go
with the alloys.  Some people I know use the steel for everyday use and the
alloys for racing but I like the looks of the alloys for everyday.  I will
say that the person I got the steel wheels from had them looking real good. 
He painted them black, put crome beauty rims with the crome center hub cap
and crome lug nuts and I was really surprised how good they looked.  Other
than that they would make good rims for snow tires.
   I picked up the 93 alloys from a dealer that had taken them off a new car
to put BBS wheels on.  Since the new car section owned the wheels they could
sell them for what ever they wanted and I got them for $300.  Still alot of
money but far better than retail.  I have a member in my chapter that has a
set of 90 alloys forsale for $400.  He is located in Richmond Va. if you are
interested.
