Default Steel rims and a 94 and up?

I hate aluminum wheels on daily drivers and love steel rims and small hub caps but can not ever remember seeing any,I am more familiar on the 70s and older Mopars but not so much with the newer Dodge trucks so were any made.

I am going to hit the junkyards and see what I can find,the aluminum wheels that are on it now are corroding around the beads and have been a constant battle to keep from losing air and I want them gone. I just never paid much attention to the newer trucks and all I have seen on them have been aluminum so its good to know steel rims had been made for those years,I have no problem with aluminum wheels on my toys that do not see winter use but my daily drivers must have steel.

I very much enjoyed my third gen chrome clad steel wheels when i had the 5 lug axles. Tough, pretty and really easy to clean. Shine up well. 17in of course. 20s are stupid on trucks

Check spare tires. Those are generally steel.

I seen some today and not sure I like them,they kind of look like a rally wheel and that is not the look I am after. I like the steel rims with the bottle caps and I doubt 70s rims will work due to the offset needed.
